REAL ESTATE IS OFTEN ONLY ONE PART OF THE TRANSITION

​

For many families, selling the home isn’t where the process begins.

​

There may be decades of belongings to sort, an estate to settle, a parent downsizing, a property that needs to be cleared or prepared for market, or simply an overwhelming number of decisions that need to happen before a FOR SALE sign ever goes in the yard.

​

That’s where the Chic Flips approach is different.

​

Founder Devon Burkhart was a Tennessee REALTOR® before Chic Flips began. Through real estate, Devon repeatedly met families who needed to sell a property but first had to figure out what to do with everything inside it.

​

Estate liquidation, downsizing, donations, clean-out, property preparation and the eventual real estate sale were being treated as separate problems.

​

For the family, they were all part of the same transition.

​

So we built a better bridge between them.

​

FROM THE CONTENTS TO THE CLOSING

​

When appropriate, our team can help coordinate the transition from the contents of the home through preparing the property for market, while Devon provides professional real estate representation through Realty Executives Associates.

​

That continuity allows us to consider the property as part of the entire financial picture.

​

Before recommending expensive improvements, we consider:

​

• Current property condition

• Local market conditions

• Buyer expectations

• Timeline

• Carrying costs

• Likely return on improvements

• The family’s goals

 

Our goal isn’t to spend money simply to make a property look perfect. It’s to determine which preparations are most likely to help the property sell successfully while protecting the client’s overall return.

​

TOP DOLLAR IS ABOUT MORE THAN THE SALE PRICE

​

The highest number on a contract doesn’t always equal the best financial outcome.

​

Time, repairs, maintenance, utilities, taxes, insurance and other carrying costs all matter.

​

We help clients look at the whole picture so they can make informed decisions about where their time and money are best spent.

​

ALREADY HAVE A REALTOR®?

​

That’s okay.

​

Families do not have to use Devon for their real estate transaction in order to use Chic Flips Home Transitions.

​

If you already have a REALTOR® you know and trust, our team can handle estate liquidation, downsizing and transition services while coordinating with your agent to help prepare the property for market.

​

NEED BOTH?

​

That’s where our full-service model can make an overwhelming process much simpler.

​

One coordinated transition.

​

One team that understands what has already happened inside the home and what needs to happen next.

​

From the closet to the closing table — we handle it all.
