How Does Curate Work?

1

You and your BHS agent discuss what upgrades will best position your home for sale and decide on an estimated budget.

Curate by BHS

We assign you a dedicated project manager and together you curate vendors from our network of fully insured and vetted service providers.

3

The vendors get to work. Your project manager oversees everything and your BHS agent is there every step of the way.

4

Once the projects are complete, you and your agent place your home on the market.

5

Your home sells more quickly at a higher price as a result of the upgrades. The cost of services is deducted from your selling price.
