One Call. Every Pre-Sale Need.
Listings That Move.
Hearthwright LLC is the single-vendor pre-listing partner St. Louis realtors rely on — repairs, flooring, curb appeal, and staging under one contract, on your timeline.
Pre-Sale Prep Shouldn't Be a Vendor Circus
The Old Way
- Three separate bids from three separate contractors
- Scheduling each vendor around listing deadlines yourself
- The handyman doesn't talk to the stager — finishes clash
- Landscape crew leaves before the exterior paint dries
- Different quality standards, different invoices, different problems
- Your seller is managing the project instead of preparing to move
The Hearthwright Way
- One call to Sean covers the entire pre-sale scope
- One contract, one timeline, one point of contact
- Repairs, flooring, landscaping, and staging designed to work together
- Interior and exterior completed in coordinated phases
- Single standard of quality, Sean on-site for every step
- Your seller focuses on packing — we handle the rest
From First Call to Listing Photos in Four Steps
Connect & Scope
You or your seller calls Sean or submits a request below. Sean schedules an on-site walk within 48 hours and documents every repair and staging need.
Unified Proposal
You receive a single, itemized estimate covering all work — repairs, flooring, curb appeal, and staging — with a phased timeline aligned to your listing date.
Coordinated Execution
Sean manages all work phases in sequence. Structural repairs first. Flooring and paint second. Exterior staging and landscape last. No overlapping crews, no scheduling gaps.
Photo-Ready Handoff
When we're done, the property is staged, cleaned, and ready for your listing photographer. You get the keys back, not a punch list.
Everything Between "Accepted Offer" and "Active Listing"
Repairs & Carpentry
Drywall patching, trim replacement, door adjustments, cabinet hardware, and finish carpentry work — all the items buyers and inspectors flag that kill deals or cut your seller's net.
Specialty Flooring
Worn hardwood refinishing, LVP installations over damaged subfloors, tile repairs, and seamless transition work. Updated flooring is one of the highest-ROI pre-sale investments in St. Louis.
Curb Appeal & Landscaping
Seasonal entryway plantings, fresh mulch, structural pruning, and container garden styling. First-impression curb appeal that looks intentional in listing photos, not just tidy.
Home Staging
Vacant and occupied staging packages designed to define space, maximize natural light, and appeal to the broadest possible buyer pool — from Clayton condos to Kirkwood Colonials.
Interior Refresh
Paint color consulting, fixture swaps, and interior design decisions that update a property's feel without costly remodels. Sean knows which changes have ROI and which don't.
Full Pre-Sale Package
For listings that need the works: one proposal covering repairs, flooring, curb appeal, and staging as a coordinated package — scoped to your listing budget and timeline.
Properties We've Prepared Have Performed
Central West End Condo — Under Contract
Hearthwright staged a vacant two-bedroom CWE condo with clean, modern furniture and warm-toned decor. The property went under contract within five days of listing.
Webster Groves Craftsman — Over Asking
Restored water-damaged trim and installed custom built-in bookshelves in a 1912 Craftsman. Combined with staging, the home received multiple offers and sold above list price in four days.
Results vary by property, market conditions, and listing strategy. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
What Realtors Ask Before Partnering
How quickly can Hearthwright mobilize on a listing?
Sean schedules on-site assessments within 48 hours of first contact. Project start timelines depend on scope, but light-touch prep (staging + minor repairs) can often be completed in under a week. Full pre-sale packages with flooring or carpentry work are scoped with your listing date in mind.
Does the seller need to be involved, or can I hand this off directly?
Either works. Hearthwright coordinates directly with the seller or with the listing agent — however you prefer to run the transaction. Sean provides updates and photo documentation throughout the project so you always know where things stand.
What service areas do you cover?
Hearthwright serves all of St. Louis City and St. Louis County, including Clayton, Webster Groves, Kirkwood, Maplewood, Ladue, the Central West End, South City, and surrounding neighborhoods. We also accommodate select Metro East listings — contact Sean to discuss project location.
Can you handle just staging, or only the full package?
Hearthwright is happy to handle individual services — staging only, repairs only, curb appeal only — or any combination. The full pre-sale package exists for sellers who want everything handled at once, but there's no requirement to bundle.
Is Hearthwright insured?
Yes. Hearthwright LLC carries general liability insurance. Proof of insurance is available upon request before any project begins.
How do I refer a listing to Hearthwright?
The easiest way is to have your seller call Sean directly at 314-332-0317 or email sean@hearthwrightllc.com. You can also submit a request on behalf of a seller using the form below. Mention you're a referring agent and Sean will coordinate accordingly.
