Style & Design

The Sarver Group is committed to delivering a luxury experience at any price point. Our approach combines strategic marketing, expert guidance, and professional presentation to position your home for success in today’s competitive market.

Once you have signed your listing agreement with a Sarver Group agent, you will be introduced to Amanda Derrick, our Listing Manager, who oversees the preparation process. Amanda coordinates our internal team along with trusted vendors to ensure your home is properly prepared for market.

With more than 20 years of experience, Amanda Derrick manages the listing preparation process from start to finish. She works closely with your agent and our internal team to ensure every step of the preparation and marketing process is handled with care and precision.

Your Sarver Group agent will share an initial video walkthrough of the home so Amanda and our Style & Design team can begin evaluating the property prior to the consultation

Our Home Preparation Coordinator, Cari Sherrill, will schedule a consultation to walk through the home and identify opportunities to enhance its presentation.

During this consultation, she will provide detailed recommendations focused on preparing the home for market, including decluttering, depersonalizing, and deep cleaning, along with any additional improvements that may strengthen the home’s overall presentation.

Preparing a home for market often involves small improvements that significantly impact buyer perception. When needed, our team can assist in coordinating trusted professionals such as:

• Handyman services
• Landscaping
• Exterior pressure washing
• Interior painting
• Carpet and home cleaning
• Moving or storage services 

Our Preferred Vendor List provides access to experienced professionals who regularly assist our clients.

Once the preparation work is complete, our in-house Style & Design team evaluates the home and provides strategic recommendations to enhance its presentation.

This may include adjustments to furnishings, lighting, accessories, and layout to highlight the home’s strengths and create a welcoming environment that appeals to a broad range of buyers.

For homes that benefit from staging, our team coordinates the installation of curated furnishings and décor prior to photography and showings.

Once the home has been styled and prepared, Amanda coordinates professional photography and marketing media. High-quality imagery is essential, as most buyers experience the home online first.

Our goal is to ensure your home makes a compelling first impression both digitally and in person.

With preparation complete, your home is positioned to enter the market in its strongest possible condition. From pricing strategy to marketing exposure, your Sarver Group agent and our internal team work together to present your home at its best.

Throughout the process, Amanda and your agent remain closely involved to guide the listing from launch to contract.
