Create one reference sheet per home
Give each property a short, unambiguous name. Record bedrooms, bathrooms, sleeping arrangements, spaces to discuss, and owner-only areas. Keep standing preferences here so you do not have to reconstruct the property description with every request.
Do not store entry codes or alarm information in a broadly shared planning sheet. Keep sensitive details out of the public quote form as well, and agree a private access handoff when needed. A useful reference sheet identifies the home without exposing its security arrangements.
Track each turnover as its own event
Use a separate row for each departure and next arrival. Include guest times, requested cleaning date, the provider you contacted, and a status such as not requested, awaiting confirmation, or confirmed. Avoid a single checkbox that hides whether a request was merely sent.
A spreadsheet or written log can serve this purpose; no booking integration is assumed. When a date changes, update the affected event and ask the provider to reconfirm rather than changing your record and assuming they have seen it.
Review overlapping dates before making promises
Look across all properties for departures and arrivals on the same date. Flag narrow windows and requests that are still provisional. Ask about availability for the actual combination of homes, not just one representative property.
For a hypothetical owner with three rentals, two departures move onto the same morning while the third home stays empty. The useful update identifies the two affected homes and guest times. It does not turn the empty home's existing arrangement into spare cleaning capacity.
Keep actual costs and unresolved needs visible
Record the confirmed cleaning amount and any agreed extras by property and visit. Keep your own purchases separate so you can review the full cost without confusing it with the cleaner's quote. Retire outdated instructions when the layout or scope changes.
To discuss several homes with Lamarks, summarize the properties and the dates you need first. Multi-property experience does not establish unlimited capacity or recurring availability. Laura and Marcelo must confirm scope, pricing, and availability personally.
Questions you may have
Can I use one checklist for all my homes?
Use one format, but keep a separate version for each property. Different layouts, sleeping spaces, and agreed tasks should remain visible.
Does requesting several cleans reserve them together?
No. Keep every visit marked as requested until its arrangement is confirmed. Ask which properties and dates a confirmation covers.
Do I need property management software for this system?
No. A clear record can be maintained in a simple sheet or log. Do not assume Lamarks receives changes from any software you use.
