The big five

The home transaction experience today is vastly different from what most people have come to expect. When your home goes on the market for sale, it is critical that the following FIVE actions be completed prior to your listing going live.

  1. Repairs and maintenance are completed. That’s right, the honey-do list needs to be officially checked off.
  2. Floors and Carpets need to look their absolute best. Many times it is best to replace your carpet, which will pay for itself and benefit you because buyers prefer it and will compete for a home with new carpet.
  3. Clean, Clean, Clean! This means windows, baseboards, doors and door trim. You are competing with new construction in every sales market, the best way to compete is to look as new as possible.
  4. Invest your improvement dollars where they count the most. Avoid over personalizing your home. You are moving, so take yourself out of the equation. If in this process you find yourself thinking, “A new buyer would love - fill in the blank“, you are about to spend money in the wrong area.
  5. Maximize your hard work with professional real estate staging design. New construction homes sell with emotion - So should your home.

Our process

We do an initial walk through of the home with the you and then make recommendations for improvements and house preparation in order to maximize the value and make the home sell more quickly. Our objective is to get the you the highest possible return on investment.

We have a list of contractors and service providers who we can refer to you including general contractors, hardwood floor re-finishers, flooring companies, bathtub re-finishers, roofers, house cleaners, window cleaners, landscapers and minor repair specialists. We will help you create a plan and schedule for house preparation so that the process goes quickly and efficiently.

When appropriate, especially when a home is vacant, we provide complementary staging through Beacon Davenport Real Estate Staging Specialists. Beacon Davenport inspects the home and then designs an appropriate staging plan. Professional real estate staging design will create an environment that is light balanced, color balanced and current in home trend as well as scale and spatially proportionate. This process will trigger the buyer to stop, stay, and sign.

Once your home is completely ready, we will have a professional photographer take marketing photos, create a virtual tour and take drones photos when appropriate. We want to represent your show ready home at it's best in order to increase buyer traffic and successfully sell your home for the highest possible price.
