🔑 Introducing the Certified Turn-Key Home Program

If you’re a homeowner in Central Ohio thinking about selling, you’ve probably wondered: How can I get top dollar while avoiding last-minute surprises? The answer may lie in a growing trend that’s transforming real estate: the Certified Turn-Key Home.

At its core, a Certified Turn-Key Home is exactly what it sounds like — a home that’s been professionally inspected, repaired, cleaned, and made 100% ready for the next buyer. And when you list with me, I’ll help you make your home Certified Turn-Key.

💡 Why Sellers Love It

A Certified Turn-Key Home helps you:

✅ Sell faster — Homes that are pre-inspected and move-in ready attract more serious buyers.
✅ Net more — Buyers feel more confident and are less likely to negotiate price reductions or credits.
✅ Avoid delays — Fewer surprises = smoother inspections and closings.

In fact, research shows Certified homes often sell for up to 13% more than their non-certified counterparts.

🧰 What’s Included in the Program?

Here’s what makes a home “Certified Turn-Key” in my program:

🔍 Pre-Listing Home Inspections — Check all major systems: roof, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing
🛠️ Repairs for Health & Safety Issues — Think termite damage, dry rot, or anything a lender might flag.
🧼 Professional Cleaning & Carpet Care — A clean home shows better and photographs beautifully.
🧾 Home Warranty Included — Gives buyers peace of mind and protects you during the sale.
🧰 Local Vendor Team — Need help completing repairs? I’ve got trusted partners ready to step in.

👩‍💼 Why Work with Me?

As a full-time real estate professional in Central Ohio, I’m not just listing homes — I’m building strategies that get results. My Certified Turn-Key Home program is designed to make your sale smoother, faster, and more profitable.

🗓️ Ready to Certify Your Home?

Selling doesn’t have to be stressful. With the right preparation and a proven strategy, you can move forward with confidence — and close with peace of mind.
