Helping Realtors Streamline Staging, Photography & Listing Preparation

As a real estate professional, your primary focus is on marketing and selling homes efficiently. However, preparing a property for listing can be time-consuming. Home Transition Specialists Inc™, offer consulting, planning, and facilitation of essential pre-staging, pre-photography, and pre-listing tasks, allowing you to concentrate on your core responsibilities.​

 The Importance of Prepping a Home Before Sale

Properly preparing a home before listing is key to attracting buyers, increasing market value, and ensuring a faster sale. A few essential pre-staging tasks, such as decluttering, depersonalizing, and making minor repairs, can significantly enhance the home’s presentation, making it more appealing to potential buyers.

Research shows that staged homes sell faster and for more money. According to the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA), staged homes spend 73% less time on the market, and 85% of staged homes sell for 5% to 25% over their listing price. Additionally, the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) reports that prepped and staged homes can reduce time on the market by 30% to 50% and sell for up to 20% more than homes that are not properly prepared.

By completing a few essential pre-staging tasks,
homeowners can streamline the selling process, maximize buyer interest,
and position their home for a faster, more profitable sale.

 

Home Transition Specialists Inc™ provide two levels of service to cater to both time-flexible and time-sensitive sellers:​

1.  Home Transition Consulting: For sellers who have the time and capability to complete the recommended preparation tasks themselves, we offer detailed plans and expert guidance to ensure they stay on track and prepare their homes effectively.​

2.  Consultation, Planning & ‘Prep for Sale’ Facilitation: For homeowners with tight timelines or limited ability to handle the preparation work, we not only provide the plan but also facilitate the necessary tasks, ensuring their homes are decluttered, depersonalized, and ready for listing within their desired timeframe.​

Additionally, we coordinate with trusted staging companies, home repair specialists, and painting professionals, ensuring your clients have access to the resources they need without adding to your workload.​

With our support, realtors can streamline the home preparation process, ensuring properties hit the market faster, in top condition, and with maximum appeal, leading to quicker sales and stronger offers.​

 

Comprehensive Home Preparation Services: Consulting & Task Facilitation

Home Transition Specialists Inc™ provide both consulting and facilitation of essential home preparation tasks, ensuring a seamless process for realtors and homeowners preparing for sale. Whether your clients need expert guidance to complete tasks on their own or hands-on support to get everything done efficiently, we tailor our services to fit their needs and timelines.​

 ·  Sort & Donate: We offer professional consulting to help homeowners make informed decisions about what to keep, donate, or discard. For those needing extra assistance, we also provide hands-on facilitation to streamline the pre-packing process.​

·  Depersonalization Strategy: Our experts guide homeowners in removing personal décor, family photos, and valuables to create a neutral, buyer-friendly environment. If time is limited, we can efficiently execute these tasks to keep the listing process moving.​

·  Decluttering Services: We provide customized strategies for reducing excess belongings and optimizing space in key areas like kitchens, basements, and garages. For clients needing extra help, we can facilitate the decluttering process, ensuring a polished and market-ready presentation.​

·  Downsizing Assistance: Through consulting or full-service facilitation, we support those transitioning to a smaller home with sorting, planning, and move coordination, making their relocation more manageable and stress-free.​

By offering both strategic consulting and hands-on facilitation, we ensure homes are prepared for staging, photography, and listing. This approach allows realtors to focus on selling while we handle the preparation work, making the home-selling process smoother and less stressful for everyone involved.
