Preparing Your Home Without the Upfront Cost
One of the most common challenges sellers face is knowing their home would benefit from updates, but not wanting to invest thousands of dollars before the sale closes. Compass Concierge was designed to solve exactly this problem.
How Compass Concierge Works
Compass Concierge is a program that fronts the cost of certain home improvements to prepare your property for market. You work with your agent to identify the updates that will have the greatest impact on buyer perception and final sale price. The improvements are completed before listing, and the cost is repaid at closing from the proceeds of the sale, with no upfront expense to you.
What Services Are Covered?
- Interior and exterior painting
- Flooring replacement and refinishing
- Professional staging
- Deep cleaning and decluttering
- Landscaping and curb appeal improvements
- Minor kitchen and bathroom updates
- Electrical and plumbing repairs
- Roof repair
- HVAC maintenance
- Window treatments
The Impact on Sale Price
Data consistently shows that well-prepared homes sell faster and for more money. According to the National Association of Realtors, staged homes sell for an average of 1-5% more than non-staged homes and spend significantly fewer days on market. When you combine staging with fresh paint, updated flooring, and enhanced curb appeal, the return on investment is typically substantial.
Terms and Eligibility
Compass Concierge is available to sellers who list with a Compass agent. The program has specific terms and conditions, consult compass.com/concierge for full details. Not all improvements may be eligible, and approval depends on the scope of work and property specifics.
The goal is simple: present the home at its best from day one, without financial burden on the seller.
