Getting a home ready to sell can feel overwhelming. Whether it’s a beloved family property or a well-located townhome that needs a finishing touch, many sellers find themselves asking:


What should I fix? How do I pay for it? And will it be worth it?

Two of my recent clients had the same concerns—and found clarity (and success) through Compass Concierge.

Case Study 1: A Berkeley Classic, Reimagined

1518 Josephine St, Berkeley

Sold for $2,100,000 — $705,000 over asking


This Craftsman home had been in the same family for over 50 years. While full of original charm, it needed strategic updates to compete in today’s market. Using $40,000 from Compass Concierge, we:


  • Replaced the roof

  • Updated the kitchen and flooring

  • Deep cleaned, decluttered, and staged the home


The result was a fresh, market-ready listing that honored the home’s legacy. We launched at $1,395,000 and received an all-cash, no-contingency offer within 7 days—closing at $2.1M.







Before and after: We used Compass Concierge to transform this beloved Craftsman home—updating key spaces while preserving its original charm. Strategic improvements helped it sell $705,000 over asking, all cash, in just 7 days.



Case Study 2: A Quick Win in Walnut Creek

64 Iron Horse Ln, Walnut Creek

Sold for $660/sf in just 9 days


This modern loft-style townhome was in excellent condition but vacant. The seller needed to prep and list quickly—without financial stress. Through Compass Concierge, we covered:


  • Pre-listing inspections

  • Professional staging

  • Strategic marketing prep


The home attracted immediate interest and sold for a record-breaking $660/sf—closing smoothly in 20 days despite unexpected HOA delays.





With Compass Concierge, we staged and prepped this vacant Walnut Creek townhome to highlight its modern features—resulting in a record-breaking $660/sf sale in just 9 days.




What Makes Compass Concierge Different?


Most sellers know their home could sell for more with a few updates—but paying out of pocket, coordinating vendors, and taking that risk alone can be a deal-breaker.


Compass Concierge removes the stress by fronting the cost of home prep with a 0% interest loan and no payment due until closing. No credit checks. No hidden fees. Just one simple program designed to get your home market-ready—fast.


What sets it apart:


  • $750 flat fee (paid at closing)

  • $5,000 minimum loan amount

  • Concierge debit card for easy use

  • No repayment until the home sells or 12 months pass

  • You choose the vendors and services—we create the plan together


From painting and flooring to staging, landscaping, and inspection repairs, you can use it for just about anything that helps your home shine.


And you don’t do it alone—I manage the entire process, from strategy to execution, so you stay focused on what matters most: your next move.
