If you're a homeowner in the East Bay who's put off upgrades or isn’t sure how to afford a pre-sale refresh, you're not alone. Many of our clients come to us with a to-do list a mile long, but no idea where to begin. That’s where our Concierge Strategy comes in.
We help sellers unlock their home’s potential—with zero upfront cost. Let’s walk you through how it works and show you real results from East Bay homes in Oakland, San Leandro, Berkeley, and Richmond.
What is Compass Concierge?
Compass Concierge is an exclusive program that allows sellers to access interest-free funds to prep their home for sale. The costs—whether it’s paint, staging, landscaping, or roof repairs—are paid back at closing.
And it’s not just funding. It’s strategy. We project manage everything: from creating a strategic property prep checklist, to coordinating with vendors, and figuring out the best timing to list. Let’s take a look at how our clients used this program—and what they walked away with.
