Prep 4 Sells's formula is simple... One Click is your Key to making More Money Faster.

As a Tampa Bay Realtor or Banker, the more time you spend "managing" a listing or REO, the less profit you make.

Calling someone to clean up a house, someone else to paint or touch up, someone else to shampoo the carpets, someone else to change locks, someone else to replace a broken dishwasher.... well, you get the idea.

Then you have to coordinate all these people, follow up on the unreturned calls, collect all the proposals and get them to your client, and after approval you have to babysit everybody, and lastly, make sure they did everything right, or did it at all!

Whew!! That's a lot of work!

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to make one call and get EVERYTHING done, at a fair price, FAST?

About Us

Prep 4 Sell was founded by an active Licensed Real Estate Broker with a background in home remodeling.

Steve Mordue operates exclusively as a Buyer's Agent. Steve became frustrated showing clients homes for sale that simply were not ready to be shown. Time and again, the homes that moved quickly, without haggling over price, were the ones that showed well. It's not rocket science, it's Real Estate 101.

The question in Steve's mind was..WHY? Why are so many available for sale homes not "show ready"? After calling a few colleagues, Steve determined that the real issue was time. Most realtors and bankers simply do not have the time to coordinate all of the items that needed to be done to get a home into shape.

With his remodeling background, a light bulb appeared over Steve's head, and Prep 4 Sell was born.

Prep 4 Sell's purpose is to be the "One-Click" solution for realtors and bankers with properties for sale. Our extensive services include, but are not limited to, all the items listed on our "Services" tab; from one source.

Unlike the handyman you may have in your rolodex, all of our inspections are performed by a Real Estate Broker who understands all too well what is necessary to get a house into show ready shape:

No more than necessary, but everything that is required, at a fair price, FAST.

All of our team members, whether direct employees or network contractors, have been thoroughly screened, drug tested, reference checked and specially trained prior to working with us on any client property.

Our Services

Prep 4 Sell's services start with our Free Inspection. Upon receipt of an inspection request via the "Free Inspection" tab above, we will schedule the inspection of the home. A Licensed Real Estate Broker will perform the inspection itemizing all items that require attention and provide you with a photo-documented report together with a detailed proposal for remediation suitable for presentation to your client. Should your client approve our proposal, we will immediately perform all work outlined and submit a completion report along with our final invoice.

It really couldn't be any easier... one call, and you're done, at a fair price, FAST.

Here is a list of the most common services we provide:

Frequently Asked Questions

Is your "Free Inspection" the same as a "Home Inspection"?
No, while we inspect many of the same items a "Home Inspector" may in a pre-closing inspection, our free inspection is specifically designed to identify items that should be addressed prior to listing a home for sale and to identify areas which are handicapping the ability of the home to be sold both quickly and at the maximum price. The results of our inspection are intended to serve as the basis for our proposal only and are not to be used for any other purpose.

Can I get as many Free Inspections as I want?
Yes and No; as long as the relationship is positive for both you and our firm, there is no inspection limit. However, if we find that we are performing a lot of inspections for you, and none of them are resulting in remediation work for our firm, we will kindly decline further inspection requests from you.

How do you handle costs for items that need to be replaced?
When we encounter an item that cannot be cost effectively repaired, we will seek out the best price for a replacement that is of similar quality. We charge a 10% handling fee over the actual cost of the item, and provide all receipts.

What if my client wants to purchase the replacement items and have them delivered?
The time we will spend dealing with a delivery coordinated by another party and the chance that the item is not appropriate, is simply not worth the client's minimal savings, therefore, we do not allow this. However the client is free to shop for a better base price and we will acquire the item from their supplier of choice and include a 10% handling fee.

How do you handle services that require special licensing, like roofs or air conditioning?
We have a network of specialty licensed contractors who will perform these services at pre-negotiated bulk rates. We charge a 10% fee for managing and coordinating these services. A separate contract for these services will be provided to the client directly from our network contractors. Again, should the client wish to use another firm we are happy to work with them, however we will still charge a 10% management fee.

How do you handle Hazardous chemical removal like paints or other household chemicals?
We utilize a special in-house team to remove hazardous chemicals and dispose of them legally at the proper facilities. Actual costs of facility disposal fees may vary and therefore will be passed onto the client as a reimbursable expense including a 10% handling fee.

What kind of warranty to do offer?
For new appliances or other items, the manufacturer's warranty, which will be provided to the client, shall apply. For services performed by specialty contractors, their warrantees will apply. For items like shampooing carpets or paint touchup, we require you to visually inspect and accept the completed work, no warranty is provided for these types of items after a new owner takes possession. For all other items we offer a 90 day warranty on workmanship, exclusive of abuse.
