From recommending repairs and updates to styling your home, The Markel Group guides you on the most effective strategy to align with your budget and goals.
Listing Prep
Your home is one of your most important assets. When preparing to sell, some homes just need a spring-cleaning or a fresh coat of paint, and others benefit from design updates and repairs. When The Markel Group lists your home, you will receive guidance on the most effective updates to invest in that will align with your budget and goals.
Your home will stand out above the rest!
Pre-Inspection
In our experience, performing a “Pre-Inspection” during the Listing-Prep phase (and then making the necessary repairs) will help to remove any surprises that my present themselves during Inspection while Under Contract.

Why Prepare?
In our experience, when Sellers take the time to make repairs and perform updates prior to Listing, the impression given to Buyers is that the home has been well-maintained and will likely not have as much in the way of deferred maintenance.
