A Common Listing Challenge
When one of our partner agents first listed a 4-bedroom home in Seattle, he knew the property had potential. It was in a desirable neighborhood, had great bones, and the sellers were motivated. But there was one big problem—the home needed work.
🔹 The kitchen was outdated with worn cabinets and aging appliances.
🔹 The bathrooms had old tile and fixtures that made the space feel dated.
🔹 The carpets were stained, and the walls needed fresh paint.
🔹 The curb appeal was lacking, making it hard to attract strong offers.
He did what most agents would do:
✅ He had the home professionally cleaned.
✅ He used his brokerage’s concierge service to paint the interior and partially stage the home.
✅ He priced the home competitively, hoping buyers would see past the flaws.
But despite his efforts, the property sat on the market for 47 days with no strong offers. Buyers loved the location but were hesitant to take on the repairs themselves—especially since they’d have to invest money upfront after purchasing the home.
The sellers were frustrated and losing confidence that they could sell for the price they needed.
That’s when Brian was introduced to JCC Concierge.
Meeting JCC Concierge: A Game-Changing Solution
After hearing about JCC Concierge’s no-budget-cap, no-upfront-cost model, Brian immediately thought of his struggling listing. He introduced his clients to JCC, and within days, we:
✔ Assessed the home and developed a customized renovation plan.
✔ Provided a zero-cost, pay-at-closing solution so the sellers didn’t have to invest a dime upfront.
✔ Scheduled and managed all repairs, updates, and staging so Mark could focus on selling.
Within a week, Brian and his clients made the decision: Take the home off the market for five weeks to allow JCC to handle the necessary improvements.

The Results: A Listing Relaunch & Multiple Offers
Once the home was relisted, the impact was immediate:
✔ Sold in just 5 days after sitting on the market for nearly two months before updates.
✔ Final sale price: $205,000 over the previous highest offer.
✔ Happy sellers who not only met their pricing goal but exceeded it.
✔ A glowing testimonial for Jesse, positioning him as a full-service, results-driven agent.
Why This Worked: The JCC Concierge Advantage
Brian’s story isn’t unique—many agents struggle with listings that need work but have sellers who can’t afford renovations upfront.
Most brokerage concierge programs cap spending, leave agents managing vendors, and don’t guarantee results. JCC Concierge removes those obstacles, allowing agents to:
✅ Offer a full-service, no-risk solution that sellers love.
✅ Sell homes faster and for more money—without budget caps limiting what can be done.
✅ Build their reputation and stand out in a competitive market.
