What Is a Home Marketing Assessment (and Why It Works in Sarasota)

Selling soon? A Home Marketing Assessment is your pre-listing roadmap—a strategic, room-by-room plan to make your home stand out online and in person. We evaluate every space through a marketing lens: how it photographs, how it flows during showings, and how it will perform on MLS, Zillow, social media, and open houses.

Sarasota buyers notice light, finishes, and first impressions. We tailor recommendations to our local market so you know exactly what to change, what to keep, and what to highlight—without wasting time or budget.

Goals We Target

  • Increase perceived value and final sale price
  • Reduce time on market and price drops
  • Improve photo/video performance and click-through
  • Create a cohesive story from curb to closing

Who It’s For

  • Homeowners planning to list in the next 2–12 weeks
  • Realtors who want higher-converting listings
  • Investors/builders needing a consistent, market-ready look

Why This Works

You’ll get actionable clarity—what to do, in what order, and why it matters—so your listing looks polished in photos and even better in person.

Going Beyond Aesthetics

We have that all-important discussion with homeowners about pet smells and such and talk about solutions to address them. We pinpoint potential trouble spots that could arise during home inspections, such as water stains on the ceiling or cracking in the foundation, both exterior and interior, and provide solutions. We also examine carpets for any stains and recommend trusted professionals for carpet cleaning, ensuring they look fresh and inviting. When it comes to bathrooms, we assess grout condition and recommend appropriate contractors for cleaning or repairs as needed. Additionally, we ensure closets and cabinets are neat and organized, presenting the home as spacious and inviting. We also provide recommendations for any necessary appliance upgrades to help prevent any red flags during showings.

We then work with you to review and refine these steps, aligning them with your budget and timeline. Optional implementation support is available to assist with sourcing, scheduling, and styling, ensuring your home is perfectly polished for media day.‍
