Boise Realtor Jill Giese Explains How Strategic Home Preparation Before Listing Can Increase Seller Proceeds
Jill Giese & Associates at Keller Williams Realty Boise helps homeowners improve their net proceeds by coordinating repairs, updates, and improvements before listing.
BOISE, ID / ACCESS Newswire / March 11, 2026 / Boise real estate professional Jill Giese, founder of Jill Giese & Associates at Keller Williams Realty Boise, is highlighting the growing importance of preparing homes properly before listing. As the housing market continues to normalize, buyers in Boise are paying closer attention to condition, maintenance, and overall presentation when evaluating properties.
One of the most common questions sellers ask is what improvements are worth doing before listing a home for sale.
Many homeowners recognize there are improvements they could make before listing a home for sale that might help it sell for more money. However, sellers often lack the time, cash, or resources to coordinate those repairs and updates while preparing to move.
To address this challenge, Giese works with sellers to identify improvements that can increase a home's appeal and potentially improve the seller's net proceeds. In 2020, she launched a sister company that allows certain repairs and improvements to be paid for upfront and repaid at closing, while her real estate team coordinates the work. This approach allows sellers to complete improvements before listing without needing to pay for them in advance.
"Many sellers know there are things they could do to improve their home before listing," said Giese. "But they may not have the time, the cash, or the contractors lined up. We help them identify the improvements that can make the biggest difference and coordinate the work so they can net the most money possible when the home sells."
This approach can be beneficial for many types of homes, particularly properties that are dated or have deferred maintenance. Improvements may include repairs, painting, landscaping, staging, or other updates that help the property compete more effectively in today's market.
Giese works with homeowners throughout Boise, from established neighborhoods such as the North End near Hyde Park and Camel's Back Park to other areas across the city. Her team has helped prepare homes for sale in neighborhoods including the Bench, Southeast Boise, and Northwest Boise, where thoughtful updates can help properties stand out to buyers.
Over time, Giese has developed a reputation among clients for helping identify practical improvements that can increase buyer appeal while keeping a close eye on how those decisions ultimately affect the seller's bottom line.
Giese has worked in Boise real estate since 2005 and has assisted more than 700 clients in buying or selling homes. She has particular expertise with Boise's North End and older homes, where careful preparation and presentation can play an important role in helping sellers achieve strong results.
Jill Giese & Associates works with buyers and sellers throughout Boise and Ada County, helping homeowners prepare their properties effectively before bringing them to market.
