Our Story in Delaware


How We Got Here

  • We’re two full-time professionals who ended up in Delaware because of work — and then made one of the biggest decisions of our lives: we bought a house.
     

  • ​The only problem? Neither of us had ever owned one before...
     

  • After years of apartment living, we quickly learned that homeownership comes with a lot more than a mortgage. Between full-time jobs and everyday life, we needed local professionals we could trust to help keep our home clean and well maintained.
     

  • House cleaning was one of our first challenges. Finding a cleaner was easy. Finding someone reliable, who cleaned the way we would and who we felt comfortable welcoming into our home? Not so easy.

That's why we created YourLocalGenie

  • We wanted to make the search easier for people like us: busy homeowners who need help but don't have hours to compare companies, read endless reviews, and figure out who to trust.
     

  • We’re also using this little corner of the internet to document what we learn along the way because, oh boy, homeownership has taught us a lot.
     

  • If our trial and error can make someone else's homeownership journey a little easier, we'd call that a win.
