For Windermere Real Estate agents Eric Kinsler and Mike Pavone, delivering the best possible outcome for their sellers starts with a clear, strategic plan.

When preparing a home for market, their approach is simple: identify what needs to be done, execute on it, and position the property to achieve its full value.

But for many sellers, the challenge isn’t knowing what needs to be done—it’s how to pay for it.

That’s where the Notable program becomes a key part of the process.

Eric and Mike recently worked with a seller who was preparing to move out of a home that had remained largely unchanged since it was originally purchased. Before listing, they completed a full inspection to understand the true condition of the property.

What they found was significant.

There was an active leak in the attic, mold present, standing water in the crawlspace, and a mix of outdated finishes throughout the home—from mismatched flooring to walls painted in multiple colors.

It was clear that without addressing these issues, the home wouldn’t meet market expectations—or achieve its full value.

Together, they built a comprehensive plan, outlining every repair and update needed to bring the home to market with confidence.

Through Notable, the seller was able to apply and receive funds quickly, without paying anything upfront. That allowed Eric and Mike to immediately coordinate vendors and begin the work—without delays or financial barriers slowing the process down.

Repairs were completed, updates were made, and the home was transformed into a market-ready property aligned with buyer expectations.

And most importantly, the outcome matched the plan.

With the improvements in place, Eric and Mike were able to bring the home to market with confidence—and deliver on the value they had originally set out to achieve.
