Thinking Ahead
When it comes to selling your home, being proactive and intentional gives you a real advantage. Getting a pre-inspection allows you to identify and address issues—like plumbing, roofing, drainage, or pests—before buyers notice them. This builds confidence and lets your home shine at its full value. Waiting until you’re under contract can make minor repairs feel like major hurdles, potentially slowing the sale or lowering offers. By tackling things early, you create a move-in-ready impression, attract stronger offers, sell faster, and maximize your profit—all with greater peace of mind.
The Walk-through
First we’ll tour your home together to spot updates and repairs, and then you can prioritize the improvements that will deliver the greatest return based on your timeline and goals.
Checking it Twice
Once we’ve identified your top home improvement priorities, I can connect you with trusted local service providers, help coordinate a work schedule, and manage access to your home.
Ready for Its Close-up
When your home is ready to shine, we’ll bring in professional stagers to transform the space, making it more appealing to buyers and helping maximize your sale price.
“A house is made of walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Return on Investment
Investing in the right home improvements before selling can pay off significantly. Simple updates like fresh paint, refinished hardwood floors, or updated fixtures can yield a high return, often recouping most—or even all—of your costs. By focusing on upgrades that enhance your home’s appeal and functionality, you make it more attractive to buyers, speed up the sale, and often increase the final sale price, giving you the best bang for your investment. Don’t stress - I’ve got an entire “toolbox” filled with incredible contractors, house-cleaners, painters, stagers and much more. Just one more way that I will be there to make the home selling process as seamless as possible.

With the Windermere Ready program, we can help you prepare your home to shine—covering improvement costs and offering full concierge support to ensure it sells faster and for top dollar. From decluttering and deep cleaning to repairs, updates, and professional staging, we’ll set your home up for success.
Our hassle-free financing makes it simple to invest in upgrades that deliver real results. You can use funds for painting, flooring, landscaping, moving, and more—all with no impact on your credit. Interest only accrues if funds are used, and there’s zero cost if you don’t use them. Plus, repayment is easily handled through escrow. Whether you prefer to work with my trusted vendors or have me manage the entire process for you, I’ll ensure everything runs smoothly and stress-free.

Windermere Ready advances can be used for a variety of home improvements, including landscaping, painting, floor refinishing, carpet replacement, decluttering, window washing, deep cleaning, fixture repairs or updates, cosmetic touch-ups, punch list repairs, moving, storage, marketing and professional staging. It can even be used to temporary housing if your home closes prior to a new space being available for you.

As a homeowner, you decide how to use your Windermere Ready advance, and I’m happy to offer advice on which updates will have the biggest impact when we list your home.

You’re in control. I can recommend trusted local providers and help coordinate services if needed, but you decide what work gets done and who you want to hire.
-
The maximum Windermere Ready advance is $50,000. The total financing-to-value—including all debt secured by your home—cannot exceed 75% of your home’s current fair market value. The home’s value also has to be less than $4million.
-
Our hassle-free financing can defer home sale expenses until closing and can be repaid through escrow.
-
Borrowers pay third-party fees (such as those for credit report, notary, courier, etc.), all of which are wrapped into the financing and a one-time fee of $499 if the funds are used. A 1% interest rate per month applies only to the funds used. And Windermere Ready Financing doesn’t impact your credit! Remember, interest only accrues once you start using the money, not once you have been approved.
-
You’ll need to complete an easy ten question application and you’ll receive and instant decision on your approval. That’s all there is to it!
