Eliminate the negative remarks before they happen. One-trip punch-list service for sellers and listing agents prepping a home for photos, open houses, and inspections — so the property shows cleanly and doesn't lose value during negotiation.
Most homes have $400–$1,500 of small issues that drag down listing photos, become inspection-report items, or get called out at open houses. We knock them all out in one visit — usually a single day — so the house photographs cleaner, shows better, and doesn't bleed value during negotiation. Realtors: ask us about adding Sentinel to your preferred-vendor list.
