Pre-Sale Home Preparation

Sell Faster. Sell Smarter. Sell for More.

Getting ready to sell your home? First impressions matter — and at House Make Up, we specialize in preparing your property for a faster, smoother, and more profitable sale. Our Pre-Sale Home Preparation service is designed to uncover hidden issues, enhance curb appeal, and highlight your home’s best features — all while keeping your budget in mind.

With our proven system and hands-on experience, we help homeowners across Fairfax County, VA boost their home’s value and avoid the common pitfalls that delay closings or reduce offers.

Why Pre-Sale Home Preparation Matters

In today’s competitive real estate market, buyers expect homes that are move-in ready. Small problems can raise red flags, lower your asking price, or cause deals to fall through at the last minute.

Our goal is simple: help you sell faster and for top dollar.

Benefits of Pre-Sale Preparation:

  • Fewer deal-breaking surprises
  • Faster time on market
  • Higher selling price
  • Better buyer perception
  • Stronger negotiation position

What’s Included in Our Pre-Sale Service

We take a comprehensive approach to preparing your home for sale — no guesswork, no unnecessary work, just smart, value-adding improvements where they matter most.

Free 40-Point Pre-Sale House Check-Up

We start with a detailed inspection of your home, identifying issues and opportunities that could impact the sale. This includes everything from cosmetic flaws to minor repairs and hidden structural concerns.

Targeted Repairs & Touch-Ups

We handle the small things that make a big difference — scuff marks, drywall damage, caulking, leaky faucets, loose fixtures, and more. These simple fixes help buyers feel confident in your home’s condition.

Interior & Exterior Painting

A fresh coat of paint is one of the most effective (and affordable) ways to make your home look clean, updated, and inviting. We focus on high-impact areas like kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, and trim.

Bathroom & Kitchen Refreshes

Without a full remodel, we can modernize key areas with updated fixtures, regrouting, painting, or small design enhancements that make your space feel fresh and functional.

Home Systems & Fixtures Check

We inspect and replace outdated or malfunctioning electrical and plumbing fixtures, ensuring everything works properly and looks appealing to prospective buyers.

Additional Services Available:

  • Drywall repairs and refinishing
  • Flooring repairs or replacement
  • Carpentry and trim updates
  • Exterior improvements (e.g., curb appeal, siding touch-ups)
  • Staging consultation to enhance buyer appeal
