The Time to Start Prepping for a Spring Sale is Now and We Have a Great Tool to Help

Each year a profusion of homes hit the market late summer and early fall - sellers who aimed for Spring but missed the mark. 

The creampuff listings don’t magically appear in April. Those sellers are intentional and got the ball moving in January. When the sun comes out, buyers come out, and the homes that draw offers are the ones that arranged fresh paint, cleaned-up landscaping, updated fixtures, staged and made repairs that matter.

How to Pay for Repairs Out of Closing Proceeds

Cash can be a challenge for many sellers. They know that the house needs some love, but writing checks before the house sells may not be feasible. We have a terrific solution! The Windermere Ready program! It’s very easy.  

Windermere Ready allows sellers to pay for strategic, ROI-focused home improvements before listing—without coming out of pocket. Think painting, flooring, staging, landscaping, inspections, cleaning, even moving costs. You just get approved for funds, the work gets done, and repayment happens at closing.

Strategy is Key!

Let's be strategic in identifying just those updates that help a home sell faster and for more money—and skipping the stuff buyers don’t actually care about. That’s where Matt, David and I come in. We’ll walk through your home, talk through the best improvements, and help decide if this tool makes sense for you. We can also help with contractors, decluttering advice and more.
