Our Prelisting Prep Process

Our team is here to make them count. We go above and beyond to show your property in the best light. From modern and clean staging and eye-catching yard signs to value add renovation and website mobile optimization.

In the first 24 hours after we get a new listing, we create floor plans for the whole house to demonstrate the layout and square footage. This helps potential buyers have a clear understanding of what they get so they can take the next step in the buying process.

Ever clicked on a listing without images? We thought so. Having professional pictures of your property will immediately attract eyeballs. Pictures make the first - and the strongest - impression on a buyer. Our in-house professional photographer is dedicated to getting you the highest quality images and does not hesitate to correct and retouch them as needed. Want more? Our team will also work closely with our videographer to produce top notch videos and virtual tours of your property.

We craft a well-written description that invites prospective buyers to ask questions and entices them to view the home virtually and in person. We include the standard information such as bedrooms and bathrooms while also crafting a narrative that captures the essence and the heart of your home. Our goal is to give your property a listing description that is accurate, informative, and leaves them wanting more.

Did you know 89% of new home shoppers are searching for properties on their mobile? Our website is fully optimized for mobile phones so that potential buyers can access all property details, high quality images, and customizable search bars, all in the palm of their hand. Add to that the convenience of our Mobile Voice Search Capability and you have the formula for a successful listing.

Although the world has gone digital, there’s nothing like flicking through a well designed brochure, seeing an attractive open house sign, picking up an eye catching flyer, or having a friendly conversation with an agent at one of our offices. TCS ensures you get maximum exposure both online and in the real world by preparing high quality printed marketing materials and sharing your property information with all our network.

Staging That Sells

According to The Real Estate Staging Association (RESA), 85% of homes sold for 5-23% over their listing price when staged before showing. Our real life experience with sellers - and buyers - seconds this study. A home that is staged correctly increases in value and thus increases the price significantly. Here’s how we help you achieve this:

Exterior

Keep the garage and grass neat
Remove all clutter
Paint the front door
Clean windows inside and out
Wash or paint the home’s exterior
Tighten and clean all door handles

Interior

Remove excessive wall hangings, furniture and knick knacks, personal photos
Clean or paint walls and ceilings
Floors should be clean, carpets and rugs shampooed and vacuumed
Repair all plumbing leaks, including faucets and drain traps
Clean all light fixtures
Declutter - consider a garage sale

For Showings

Turn on all the lights and open all drapes in the daytime
Open all doors and windows beforehand to circulate fresh air
Ideally, pets should be unseen. Pet areas should be clean and odor-free.
Play quiet background music
Infuse the home with a comforting scent like apple spice or vanilla
Remove all cash, jewelry and small valuables from view
Vacate the property while it is being shown
