Business name: Property Clean Sweep.
Owner: Vicky Fredrickson.
Address: Home location in Vancouver.
What the business does: Provides cleanup and clean-out services for a variety of situations including new construction sites, bank repossessions, foreclosures, job transfers, apartments and rentals. They paint complete interiors, haul out junk or do major yard clean-outs. If a property is vacant, the company gets the property marketable and ready to sell or rent. No job is too small.
How has the economy affected your business: Vicky Fredrickson said she started her business about the time the real estate market was at its lowest so the economy hasn’t affected her business a great deal. However she hasn’t been able to grow her business as fast as she would have liked. She said it obviously it helps her business because people are either downsizing, or moving to another part of the city, state or across the country and need her services.
Greatest challenge: Fredrickson said her greatest challenge is establishing contacts with Realtors, banks, the construction industry and making the public aware of her business.
What’s ahead: Fredrickson will continue to develop and maintain a solid customer base. She wants to make her company’s name well known and build a good reputation.
