The updates that pay you back before you sell. And the ones that quietly waste your money. Plus my done-for-you concierge service that handles the whole renovation, start to finish.
28 pages. Free. No obligation, ever.
The Playbook is on its way to you. Want to talk through your home specifically? I keep just two buyers at a time — reach me directly.
No fluff, no generic checklists. This is the same playbook I walk my own clients through before a single photo is taken.
Ranked by return in our market — paint, lighting, and the three rooms buyers actually price on.
The “improvements” that feel productive but never come back at the closing table.
How I manage every update, repair, and staging detail — so you don’t lift a finger or chase a single contractor.
From walkthrough to listing photos — what happens each week, and who does it.
Actual homes, actual numbers — what we spent and what it returned.
A room-by-room page you can print and carry through your own home this weekend.
A recent Snohomish County home I prepped and staged start to finish — paint, new flooring, a refreshed fireplace, lighting, and styling. Same square footage. A completely different first impression.

CurbYou don’t need a contractor in your phone or a free weekend. I plan the updates that matter, manage my own vetted crew, and stage it with my own hands — one point of contact, start to finish.
A focused walkthrough — exactly what to update for the highest return, and what to leave alone.
Vetted local trades I’ve worked with for years. I manage every step and stage it myself.
Photographed, staged, and priced to sell — ready for buyers from day one.
Prefer to settle up later? For qualifying homes, financing is available so the cost of prep can be paid at closing — just ask.
I don’t just sell homes here. I live here. For 17 years I’ve walked families through the hardest, most hopeful moves of their lives — downsizing, settling an estate, starting the next chapter. The number on the contract matters, and so does how you get there. This guide is everything I’d tell you over coffee, before we ever talk about listing. No pitch. Just what works.
If you’d rather not pay as we go, yes — for qualifying homes, financing is available so the cost of the agreed updates and staging can be settled from your proceeds at closing. It’s an option, not the only way; many sellers simply pay for the prep directly.
Then I’ll tell you that. Sometimes the right move is paint and a deep clean, not a remodel. The Playbook helps you see the difference before you spend a dollar.
No. The biggest returns I see are often on modest homes that simply photograph and show better after a focused, affordable prep.
There isn’t one. I keep two buyers at a time, so I’d rather start a real relationship than chase a quick sale. Read it, use it, call me if it’s helpful.
Twenty-eight pages on prepping your home for the highest possible sale — and a done-for-you concierge service that handles all of it for you.
