The goal isn’t to change everything. It’s to make the right things count.
Preparing to sell should start with a strategy—not a renovation wish list. Through Compass Concierge, eligible sellers can access funding for improvements such as staging, painting, flooring, and landscaping, without paying those approved costs upfront.*
Housecats helps you identify what is worth doing, what to leave alone, and how to bring it all together. We approach preparation as part of your selling strategy, balancing presentation, budget, and timing to help buyers see what makes your home worth their attention.
FROM PLAN TO MARKET.
STEP 1
Decide which services can increase your home’s value the most and set an estimated budget for the work.
STEP 2
When you’re ready to start, your Compass agent will be by your side as you engage contractors and vendors.
STEP 3
Once the transformation is complete, your home will go on the market.
STEP 4
You’ll pay for the services and any applicable fees* when one of the following happens – your home sells, you terminate your listing agreement with Compass, or 12 months pass from your Concierge start date. Subject to program terms that may vary by market.
Start with the work your home needs—not a checklist of everything you could change.

Eligible projects can include staging, cleaning, decluttering, painting, flooring, landscaping, kitchen and bathroom improvements, roofing, HVAC, electrical and plumbing repairs, fencing, closet work, pest control, moving and storage, seller-side inspections, pool and tennis court services, and sewer inspections and remediation. Coverage is subject to program rules and exclusions.
Housecats helps you prioritize what is worth doing for your property, budget, and timing—not simply add more work to the list.
Concierge is designed for sellers preparing a home for sale with Compass. Concierge Capital financing comes from Notable Finance, LLC—not Compass—and requires lender underwriting and credit approval. Approval is not guaranteed.
We’ll help you understand the application process and how the program could fit into your preparation plan.
Repayment is due at the earliest of your home’s sale, termination of your Compass listing agreement by either party, 12 months after your Concierge start date, or a qualifying suspension of the loan by Notable under your loan agreement. Fees or interest may apply depending on your state. Your loan agreement governs the specific terms.
Repayment can be required before your home sells.
Use the form below to tell us about your home, your selling timeline, and the improvements you’re considering. We’ll discuss your priorities, identify where preparation could make a meaningful difference, and help you evaluate whether Concierge fits your plans.
You do not need a finished renovation plan to start the conversation. Start with your home and your goals. We’ll help you work through the next steps.
Subject to credit approval and program terms. Fees or interest may apply. Repayment can be required before your home sells. See the full program disclosure below.
