Step 1
The walk
We walk the house with the seller, before any listing agreement is signed. The assessment is always free.
Pre-listing repairs · For agents & teams
We handle the repairs before the house ever lists.
A seller wants to list, but…
- 1.the ceiling fan wobbles
- 2.half the receptacles don’t work
- 3.the handrail is missing
Before it stalls and everyone freaks out, be grand and send them to Grandmark.
The whole ask
“Grandmark helps my sellers get a house ready before it lists. Can I have them call you?”
Ask your seller one question. If they say yes, send us the name and number. We call the same business day.
What is in it for you
Your commission is a % of the sale price.
The price is your paycheck.
A house beaten down a few grand over inspection findings obviously pays you less.
A house with far less to beat down has a better chance of getting the most commission out of the sale.
What your seller gets
Handled before it ever goes under contract.
- Clear pricing.
- Proper repairs, completed on time.
- Detailed documentation.
- One year warranty.
A seller who discloses still discloses. Ours hand over a short list, with the invoices to back it up.
Now, we cannot promise what an inspector will write or what a buyer will offer. Nobody can. What we can promise is that we will take problems off the table before they become leverage for the other side.
Home Inspection Hell
A home inspection report reads like the house is coming down.
Then there is the report itself: “recommend further evaluation by a licensed professional.” Red labeled remarks. Disclaimer laden paragraphs that seem to never end. That language is not written to calm anybody down.
Fix the known items first, and there is far less in that report to scare anybody.
✓Fewer findings✓Fewer disclaimers✓Fewer calls
Every red flag in that report will probably come out of your commission check.
What we do
Four steps. All before the listing.
Step 2
The flags
We find things an inspector or appraiser may flag.
Step 3
The repairs
We repair the deficiencies we find.
Step 4
The record
We document every repair: photos, invoices, and a 1-year workmanship warranty that transfers to the buyer.
What you hear from us
2 things. That is the whole list.
In progressReady
We work for the seller, and the paperwork belongs to the seller.
The seller gets every document we produce, and the paperwork goes with the house.
The honest cost
So what does this cost you?
Think about how many times you have spent with your past clients negotiating down because the inspection report has more red flags than your best friend’s ex. Losing money is your cost. The seller pays us for the repairs. You pay nothing.
Ready for a client that’s ready to list a house the Grandmark way?
