Is Your Home Ready For Market?

SHOW YOUR HOME AT IT’S BEST. WE CAN HELP YOU!
In our current market, multiple offers are the norm especially for listings in turn-key condition. On average, turn-key homes sell for 3% more than a non-updated home. 

This Brydon & Ives Team listing below received 9 offers and sold for $940/square foot.

Our Full-Service Team 
We are fortunate to have worked with an experienced construction team for over 10 years who is accountable to us, works on quick turn-around times and provides us with fair pricing so that we can help you make improvements or repairs needed prior to coming on the market. We make recommendations, get bids, outline the ROI, and project manage the work so you can focus on your move. Our team consists of a licensed contractor, stager/designer, flooring specialist, landscaper, hauler, and window cleaner.  

COMPASS CONCIERGE
Don’t want to touch your investments or cash to make the improvements? We have the solution. Many of our sellers have used our Compass Concierge program…A no fee, no interest loan.

The 5th Wall….

Exposed ceiling beams can take an ordinary room and make it remarkable. Even if they’re painted over, exposed beams immediately add character to a room. They draw the eye up, making the space feel larger, creating individual flair and architectural interest to your home without taking up any square footage.

What’s your preferred style? Which exposed beams do you like best?…..
