   Consultation

PRE-LISTING

EVALUATE + PLAN FOR SUCCESS

Today's buyers are willing to pay a premium for a house that feels well maintained and "move-in ready."

 

 Many buyers also overestimate the cost to make simple repairs or cosmetic changes (like painting or changing light fixtures), and these assumptions are reflected in their offer.

 

Making these changes BEFORE listing significantly raises the perceived value of your home and results in higher offers.

The Process

Your in-person pre-listing consultation will assess your entire home.  We start from the same place as potential buyers:  with the approach and curb appeal.  Together with the homeowner, we will preview the entire property to identify the home's best features and also address issues that could negatively impact selling price. 

We'll consider each room in your home, focusing on key selling areas: curb appeal, entry, Kitchen, main living areas, dining room, primary bedroom, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces.​

We will evaluate furniture layout, color schemes, and lighting to create the most warm and inviting atmosphere.  We'll also consider cosmetic improvements to enhance your home's appeal, such as needed cleaning or repairs, painting, lighting, or other enhancements.

For occupied homes, we'll provide detailed suggestions for simplifying and updating the decor, including possibly removing some items, decluttering, and how to best rearrange and utilize existing items.
