How we look at a home

Every room, through three lenses

A pre-listing assessment is not a repair list. It is a judgment about what a buyer will see, what makes a poor first impression, and what is worth improving before you list. Everything else, we tell you to leave alone.

  1. What may concern a buyer

    Deferred maintenance, water stains, sticking doors: anything an inspector will write up and a buyer will use to negotiate.

  2. What creates a poor first impression

    Scuffed walls, dated fixtures, a tired front entry. The things that make a home feel smaller than it is.

  3. What can be improved economically

    Where paint and hardware return more than a renovation. We sort must-address from not-recommended before sale.

Collections at a glance

Choose the collection that fits the home

Every collection includes a walkthrough, a written scope and Kelly’s design guidance. Prices are starting points; the final scope and proposal follow the assessment.

The process

Five steps from first call to final proposal

  1. Discovery call

    A short call about the home, the list date and what you want from the sale.

  2. Home assessment

    Justin and Kelly walk the home together, room by room.

  3. Priority matrix

    Must address, strongly recommended, presentation, optional, and not recommended before sale.

  4. Select a collection

    We recommend the collection that matches the matrix and the budget.

  5. Scope and proposal

    A written scope, schedule and price before any work begins.

Good to know

Questions sellers ask

Is every listed item included in a collection?

Collection descriptions show typical scope. Your written proposal is what is included. If the home needs more, we say so before we start.

Do you guarantee a sale price?

No. Our recommendations improve presentation and reduce inspection surprises; they are not a guarantee of price, appraisal or return.

Who does electrical, plumbing or roofing?

Licensed trades are referred and coordinated where required. We stay your single point of contact.

Can you work to a listing deadline?

Tell us the target list date when you reach out and we will schedule around it. Same-week priority scheduling is available for real estate agents, and listing-day emergency visits carry a $150 emergency fee.
