Fitz Homes
Sell Your HomePre-Sale Prep

Give me the keys.
I'll take care of the rest.

I don't just tell you what to fix — I manage the entire pre-sale renovation, from coordinating contractors to overseeing staging, so your home sells for what it should. You don't need to be here. You don't need to manage anything. That's what I'm for.

This isn't for everyone.
It's for people who want the outcome without the headache.

I've managed pre-sale renovations for clients who were across the country, for families navigating estate sales, and for people who simply didn't have the bandwidth to take on a project while living their lives. In every case, the same thing was true: they wanted their home sold for what it was actually worth — and they needed someone they could trust to make it happen.

I bring a vetted contractor network built right here in Montgomery County. I know which updates move the needle in Bethesda versus Potomac versus Kensington. And I know how to run a project on time and on budget — because a renovation that drags on costs you money in carrying costs, market timing, and momentum.

This service is ideal for

Sellers who have already relocated or are planning to

Out-of-state owners of inherited or estate properties

Busy executives who want results without managing the process

Homeowners who want to maximize sale price but don't know where to start

Anyone who needs a contractor network they can trust on short notice

Downsizers who don't have the energy for a major prep project

How it works, start to finish

01

Property Assessment

I walk your home with a trained eye — not for what looks nice, but for what moves the needle on price. I know exactly which updates buyers in this market pay a premium for and which ones you should skip entirely. You get a clear, honest prioritized list with estimated costs and expected return.

02

Renovation Planning

I bring a vetted network of contractors, painters, landscapers, and tradespeople who have worked on my listings for years. I get competitive bids, make the decisions with your input, and manage the timeline. You don't need to be here. You don't need to know who the right plumber is. I do.

03

Project Management

From first hammer swing to final walkthrough, I stay on top of it. I coordinate schedules, handle problems when they come up (and they always do), and keep the project on track. You get regular updates without having to chase anyone down.

04

Staging & Photography

Once the work is done, I coordinate professional staging and photography that presents your home at its absolute best. In this market, the first showing is online — these visuals are your listing's first impression and they matter more than most sellers realize.

05

Strategic Pricing & Launch

Using real, current sales data for this specific market, I price your home to attract serious buyers and create competitive tension. We go live when the timing is right — not when it's convenient. Then I market aggressively across every channel that matters.

06

Negotiation & Closing

My job isn't done at contract. I stay actively involved through inspection, appraisal, and all the back-and-forth that happens between offer and closing. I protect the deal you fought for.
