Selling your home can be stressful. From repairs to cleaning and staging, there’s a lot to handle. And it can be expensive. That’s where the Windermere Ready Program helps. This service lets you improve your home before selling—with no money upfront.
You get expert advice, local contractors, and professional staging. Everything is paid back after your home sells. So, if you want to sell faster and for more money, this program could be perfect.
What Is the Windermere Ready Program?
The Windermere Ready Home Selling Program helps you prepare your home for the market. It gives you up to $100,000 to fix, clean, and stage your home. You don’t pay anything until after the sale.
