A focused approach for a move that needs judgment, not just momentum.
Some homes need a plan months before photos. Some buyers need a clear way to evaluate character and condition. Some moves require two transactions to work together. The starting point is the real decision in front of you.

Seller preparation + funding
Make the work that buyers will care about possible before the home goes live.
A repair, fresh paint, flooring, landscape work, staging, or a more complete preparation plan can be hard to take on all at once. For eligible sellers, Compass’s Market Ready Concierge can be a way to finance selected home-selling expenses before closing rather than paying every project cost upfront.
We start with the property—not a generic project list. That means identifying what a buyer is likely to notice, what an inspection may raise, what is worth addressing, and what can wait. Then we help you weigh the scope, vendors, timing, and the cost of using the program before you decide.
Market Ready Concierge, powered by Notable, may help eligible sellers finance qualifying preparation expenses. Credit approval, interest, fees and repayment terms apply; repayment can become due before a sale closes. View current program information.
