The Power of Compass Concierge: A Smarter Way to Sell
When it comes to selling a home in Sonoma County, the details matter. A fresh coat of paint, updated fixtures, or a little curb appeal can make a world of difference in how buyers see your property—and how much they’re willing to pay for it. At The Schween Group, we’re proud to offer Compass Concierge, a program that helps sellers make those key improvements without paying upfront. It’s a simple idea with big impact: Compass covers the cost of updates now, and you reimburse the amount when your home sells. No interest, no hidden fees, no stress.
What Is Compass Concierge?
Compass Concierge is designed to help your home look its best before it hits the market. The program fronts the cost of services that make a difference—painting, flooring, staging, landscaping, kitchen updates, even deep cleaning and decluttering. By removing the financial barrier to pre-sale improvements, Concierge helps sellers present their homes in top shape, attract more buyers, and maximize their sale price.
Step 1: Walk-Through and Strategy
We start with an in-person consultation to walk through your home and talk about your goals. Together, we identify which updates will give you the best return. Sometimes that’s a full refresh—paint, lighting, and landscaping. Other times, it’s as simple as refinishing the floors or bringing in a stager to highlight the home’s best features.
Step 2: Custom Plan and Approval
Once we have a plan, we’ll create a detailed proposal outlining the scope of work and estimated costs. That plan goes to Compass for quick approval. There are no credit checks, interest charges, or hidden fees—just straightforward funding for your project.
Step 3: Professional Vendors and Project Management
We coordinate trusted local vendors—painters, stagers, flooring installers, landscapers, and more—to complete the work efficiently and to a high standard. Our team keeps the process on track from start to finish so you can focus on your next move.
Step 4: Market Launch
After the improvements are complete, we bring in our professional photographers and marketing team to make sure your home shines. From Compass’s national network to local social media and targeted advertising, your property will reach more qualified buyers, faster.
Step 5: Payment at Closing
When your home sells, the cost of improvements is deducted from your proceeds. If for any reason the home doesn’t sell within 12 months, you’ll simply repay Compass directly. It’s that easy.
What Concierge Can Cover
Compass Concierge covers a wide range of home improvement services, including painting (interior and exterior), flooring repair or replacement, professional staging and design, lighting and fixture updates, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, deep cleaning and decluttering, landscaping, curb appeal projects, and even roof, pest, and HVAC repairs. Whether you’re selling a golf-course home in Fountaingrove, a vineyard property in Kenwood, or a mid-century in Bennett Valley, the right improvements can help your home stand out and sell for top dollar.
Why Sellers Choose Compass Concierge
Move-in-ready homes draw more attention and spend less time on the market. Strategic updates can make a measurable difference in the final sale price, and with Compass Concierge, you don’t have to pay a dime until closing. The Schween Group manages the process from start to finish, ensuring every dollar spent adds value.
Is It Right for You?
Compass Concierge isn’t just for luxury listings—it’s for any seller who wants their home to make the best possible first impression. Even small updates can make a big difference when buyers are comparing properties online. We’ll evaluate your home, review recent neighborhood sales, and help you decide which updates make sense for your budget and timeline.
