Behind the Listing: $1M More Through Preparation and Partnership
Nov 26, 2025
For Tony and Marina Accardo, real estate success begins long before the first showing.
“Our strategy to get the best outcome for a seller is always preparing the home for market,” says Tony. “That includes painting, landscaping, staging; all the things that make a home really shine in digital imagery.”
When the Accardos listed a single-story property with great bones but major deferred maintenance like roofing, flooring, plumbing, electrical, and landscape they knew presentation would make all the difference.

Through Compass Concierge powered by Notable, their sellers accessed upfront funding to complete every improvement without financial stress*. The result? A fully staged, turn-key property that sold within the first week—for $1 million more than initially expected.
“By offering upfront funding for a seller, it removes the stress involved with putting your home on the market,” Tony explains. “This is just another example of how preparation pays off.”
