A Success Story in Anacortes: How Our Pre-Listing Consultation Helped Sell 4010 W 5th Street

At Center Stage Home Design, we believe in the power of preparation. That’s why we launched our Pre-Listing Consultation service—to give homeowners and agents the tools they need to list with confidence. And Amy’s very first consultation is proof that a little planning goes a long way! The sellers received an offer after only two days on market.

This charming West Anacortes home at 4010 W 5th Street listed by Kelli Lang recently hit the market and made a lasting impression. After our in-person walkthrough, Amy provided a room-by-room evaluation, prioritizing updates that would make the biggest impact. Our client received a custom Pre-Listing Workbook, complete with checklists, staging tips, and was offered a personalized Amazon shopping list tailored to the home’s needs.

From simple decor tweaks to lighting updates, the homeowner followed our recommendations step by step—and the results were stunning. The property showed beautifully in photos and in person, leading to quick buyer interest and a strong offer.

What makes this story so special is that it highlights the DIY power of a well-guided plan. With our consultation, the seller took control of their home’s presentation and reaped the rewards—without the cost of full-service staging.

Why It Worked:

Clear, actionable recommendations made it easy to implement changes.

Buyer psychology was top of mind—creating a light, spacious, and move-in ready feel.

Strategic investments like updated lighting and pre-packing excess items helped maximize appeal without major expense.

This service is only $300, a very affordable service that agents can gift to their clients. This service can be used for occupied or vacant listings.
