The Challenge: An Overwhelmed Family Unsure Where to Begin
When it came time to sell a family home held in a trust in Porter Ranch, California, the family felt overwhelmed. The house needed substantial updating, and they didn’t know where to begin.
They faced decisions about clearing out belongings, replacing flooring, painting, remodeling the bathrooms, landscaping, and preparing the property to appeal to today’s buyers.
Our team developed a complete plan to handle the property preparation, renovations, professional staging, and sale.
Our Solution: A Full-Service Renovation Through Concierge Plus
Step 1: Coordinate the Property Cleanout
We asked the family to remove the personal belongings and sentimental items they wanted to keep. Our team then coordinated the removal of everything else, eliminating the burden of emptying the property themselves.
Step 2: Develop and Manage the Renovation
Through our Concierge Plus Program, the family was able to complete approved home improvements without upfront renovation costs.
We managed the entire process, including selecting flooring, coordinating interior painting, choosing bathroom vanities and finishes, supervising contractors, and arranging the backyard cleanup.
The sellers didn’t have to visit flooring showrooms, compare paint colors, shop for bathroom fixtures, or manage multiple vendors.
Step 3: Provide Complimentary Professional Home Staging
Once the renovations were completed, we arranged free professional home staging to showcase the updated property.
Staging helped buyers visualize the home’s living spaces, furniture arrangements, and everyday functionality while highlighting the new flooring, freshly painted interiors, and remodeled bathrooms.
The family didn’t have to arrange staging services, move furniture into the home, or pay an additional staging fee.
Step 4: Market the Renovated and Staged Home
With the property emptied, renovated, cleaned up, and professionally staged, we brought the home to market using a pricing and marketing strategy designed to attract buyers searching for updated, move-in-ready homes in Porter Ranch.
Instead of asking buyers to imagine what the home could become, we presented the improvements already completed.
The Outcome: Sold in Just 14 Days
The Porter Ranch trust property sold in just 14 days.
From removing unwanted belongings to managing renovations and providing complimentary professional staging, our team coordinated the entire process.
The family didn’t have to pick out flooring, choose paint colors, select bathroom vanities, manage contractors, or hire a staging company.
What began as an overwhelming responsibility became a clear, professionally managed plan to prepare and sell the home.
What This Means for Families Selling an Inherited Home
If you’re selling a house held in a living trust or preparing an inherited home for sale in Porter Ranch, you don’t necessarily have to manage a renovation yourself.
Some properties are better sold as-is, while others can benefit from strategic improvements, professional staging, and a coordinated marketing plan.
Through the Scott Himelstein Group’s Concierge Plus Program, qualified sellers can complete approved improvements without upfront renovation costs, while our team manages the preparation process.
You don’t have to become a contractor, designer, or project manager just because you’re responsible for selling a family home.
