Compass Concierge: Up to $25,000 for Home Improvements

Through Compass Concierge, you can access up to $25,000 advanced for home improvements and moving costs. This means you can maximize your home’s value without paying out of pocket first, an essential advantage for anyone downsizing in Westchester.

I recommend starting with a pre inspection to address potential deal breakers before investing in cosmetic updates. I know what today’s buyers want and will help you prepare your home to attract the widest possible audience.

The Compass Three Phased Marketing Strategy

Selling a home in Westchester requires more than just placing a listing online. Compass’ proven three phased strategy ensures your home is positioned for maximum exposure and results.

1. Pre Market Preparation
   I guide you through staging, improvements, and pricing strategy so your home makes the strongest first impression.

2. Launch Strategy
   Your property will be marketed across Compass’ exclusive channels and syndicated to all major platforms, reaching motivated buyers locally and nationwide.

3. Ongoing Optimization
   I monitor performance, adjust strategy, and provide you with real time feedback to keep momentum strong until the right offer is secured.

This layered approach ensures your Westchester home stands out in a competitive market and sells for its full potential.

Between the relationships I built during my decade long tenure at Sotheby’s and my new connections at Compass, I will find the right professional to ensure a seamless transition. Together we will make certain that you not only sell well here but also arrive exactly where you want to be next.
