Compass Concierge
A Smarter Way to Prepare Your Home for Sale
Selling for top dollar isn’t about renovating everything.
It’s about knowing what’s worth doing and what isn’t.
​
Compass Concierge helps you prepare your home for market by covering the upfront cost of strategic improvements, so your home shows at its best without the stress of paying before you sell.
You pay at closing, not upfront.

Compass Concierge Success Stories
Dan & Gail Buquicchi0, Lake Forest Park
"Our home sold for 30% over asking thanks to Jozette’s vision [...] and her knowledge and understanding of what todays buyer is looking for. Jozette was very hands on, and present every step of the way. She made sure our home presented in a way that highlighted, and showcased its best features."
Monique Jackson-King, Renton
"Jozette was a true gem and God send! I don’t live in the state of my property and needed a realtor who could manage the preparation and sale of my property without me being physically present. At each junction, Jozette offered solutions and a vast network of professionals to get my house in selling order. On the first weekend, we received multiple offers and all above asking."
Monika & Tony Roberto, Shoreline
“Jozette worked with us throughout, advising us as we worked to ready our house for sale, arranging for and overseeing a remodeling team for a pair of bathrooms that needed updating [...] The sale of our old house went quickly and smoothly and sold for 125k over our asking price!"

The difference between sitting on the market and selling quickly often comes down to how a home is prepared and presented.

Compass Concierge FAQ
What is Compass Concierge?
Compass Concierge is a program that helps sellers prepare their home for market by covering the upfront cost of approved services like painting, flooring, staging, landscaping, and other improvements. The goal is to make strategic updates before listing so the home shows better and can attract stronger buyer interest.
​
Do sellers have to pay upfront for Compass Concierge?
No. One of the biggest advantages of Compass Concierge is that eligible sellers can make certain pre-listing improvements without paying out of pocket upfront. The cost is typically repaid later through the sale process, subject to program terms and approval.
​
What kinds of home improvements are worth doing before listing?
That depends on the property, the price point, and the likely buyer pool. In many cases, high-impact updates like paint, flooring, lighting, landscaping, decluttering, and strategic cosmetic improvements can make a major difference. Jozette helps sellers focus on the updates most likely to improve presentation and return.
​
Is Compass Concierge worth it?
It can be, especially when a home would benefit from thoughtful preparation before going on the market. The right updates can improve first impressions, help buyers connect emotionally to the home, and strengthen the overall listing strategy. Jozette evaluates each property individually to help sellers decide what makes sense.
​
How does Jozette decide which updates to recommend?
Jozette looks at the home through both a design and investment lens. She considers buyer expectations, layout, condition, market position, and budget to identify which improvements are likely to have the greatest impact before listing.
​
Can Compass Concierge help my home sell for more?
​
Strong preparation often has a direct impact on buyer response. When a home is thoughtfully updated and well presented before listing, it is more likely to attract strong interest, create momentum early, and launch in a more competitive position.
