GoMarketReady
Concierge pre-listing prep — pay at closing
GoMarketReady is our concierge pre-listing program. We handle the cleaning, repairs, staging, painting, landscaping, and photography up front — at no cost to you until closing — so your Utah home hits the market in its best possible condition and sells for top dollar.
What GoMarketReady covers
Every Utah home sells faster and for more when it shows like a model home. The program covers professional deep cleaning, minor repairs, interior and exterior painting, carpet cleaning or replacement, landscape refresh, decluttering and packing assistance, professional staging, drone and HDR photography, and 3D Matterport tours.
Why this matters for your sale price
National data from the Real Estate Staging Association shows staged homes sell for an average of 5-10% more than unstaged comparables. On a $600,000 Utah home, that is $30,000-$60,000 in additional sale price. The investment in presentation pays for itself many times over.
You pay nothing until closing
We front the cost of all approved improvements. You sign a simple agreement and the costs come out at closing from sale proceeds. No out-of-pocket expense, no credit check, no liens against the property during the listing period.
How the process works
We start with an in-home consultation where we walk the property together and identify high-ROI improvements. You approve the scope and budget. Our vetted contractors execute the work on a tight timeline — typically 2-3 weeks from start to listing. We coordinate everything so you do not have to manage multiple vendors.
Who qualifies
The program is available to home sellers listing with the Kris Bowen Real Estate Group at LPT Realty in Utah. Properties anywhere along the Wasatch Front qualify. The home must be free of major structural issues (the program covers cosmetic and minor repair work, not foundation or roof replacement).
What sellers tell us
The most common feedback we hear from GoMarketReady sellers: “I wish we had done this years ago.” Sellers consistently report that the program eliminated the stress and decision fatigue of preparing a home for sale, and the photography and staging produced offers higher than expected.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does GoMarketReady cost?
Costs vary based on the scope of work for your specific home. Typical projects range from $3,000-$15,000 in improvements. All costs are paid at closing from sale proceeds — nothing out of pocket.
What if my home does not sell?
In the rare case a home does not sell during the listing period, you would owe the improvement costs. In 23 years our sale rate has been over 98%, and most GoMarketReady homes sell within 30 days.
Can I pick my own contractors?
Our vetted contractors are part of the program because of their pricing, speed, and quality. If you have a preferred contractor for a specific item, we can discuss that on a case-by-case basis.
How long does prep take?
Most homes are market-ready within 14-21 days. Faster timelines are possible for cosmetic-only work; larger scopes may take 3-4 weeks.
Is this available outside Utah?
GoMarketReady is offered exclusively in Utah through Kris Bowen Real Estate Group at LPT Realty.
