We Make Homes Market-Ready
So Sellers and Agents Can Succeed
PREPP was built to solve the most stressful part of selling a home: getting it ready for market. We handle the prep, so you can focus on selling and moving forward with confidence.
Origin Story
PREPP came from a real conversation in a real house, followed by a middle of the night inspiration that could not be ignored.
After nearly 30 years in the homebuilding industry, I recently stepped away from leading a local homebuilder. It was not the exit I had planned, but it forced a reset. At that same time, we had launched a family business for our nephew to run day to day. A move that had ignited my entrepreneurial spirit and had my longtime friend Kent and me thinking about what we could build together.
I was reviewing the home of a friend’s mother, who had experienced medical trauma and may or may not be able to return to living in the home independently. We were looking at necessary window replacements and general updates. At one point, I asked a simple question: What is the plan for the future of this house? Rental or Sale? Once that idea was on the table, we started making a list. Clean this up, fix this, paint that, remove that. The goal was to make the home feel more consistent. Nothing complicated. Just a practical list of what you would do before listing. We wrapped up and I moved on with my day.
A few nights later, I woke up at 2 am and it hit me. That list was the business. We found it! Not renovating. Not over-improving. Just getting homes market ready the right way. Years of seeing deals stall, coordinating contractors, building over 3000 homes, and pushing messy deals over the closing line all came rushing in at once. I was wide awake immediately because I knew I was onto something.
Within two weeks, PREPP was incorporated and we were off. No long runway, just momentum. We started figuring out the business model, building the brand, and even working through early logo ideas in ChatGPT as AI tools were just starting to show up in everyday workflows in early 2026.
A simple, straightforward origin. A simple list and a 2 am moment that turned into something real.

The PREPP Philosophy
Preparation is not about doing more, it’s about doing the right things with clarity and intention.
Selling a home often creates pressure to make fast decisions, coordinate vendors, and navigate unfamiliar improvements. PREPP exists to remove that friction. We believe thoughtful preparation, clear priorities, and steady coordination create better experiences for both sellers and agents.
Our goal is not to over-improve a home, but to help it present confidently, move smoothly to market, and support the outcome everyone is working toward.
At its core, PREPP is built on a simple belief: when preparation is clear and coordinated, the entire selling process becomes easier.
