The Ghost Mode Listing Prep · King & Snohomish County

Photo-ready in days — locked to your shoot date.

You send one text — address, lockbox code, your seller's number. Fuego scopes directly with the seller, caps the price in writing, and hands back a photo-ready listing in days. No site visits, no vendor calls, no "is it done yet?"

Ghost Mode

You exit at the text. You come back for the photos.

Every listing prep starts the same way: three or four vendors to find, sequence, and babysit inside a one-week window — Vendor Tetris, played against a photographer's calendar. The Ghost Mode Listing Prep deletes the game. One text — the One-Text Handoff — and the coordination role doesn't get lighter. It's gone.

The Ghost Mode Listing Prep

Three flat prices. Caps in writing. No loan required.

Every package is priced like the job it is — small enough for a credit card, with scope caps published before kickoff. No financing program, no escrow paperwork, no percentage fee, no lien near your seller's title. The number you quote your seller is the number.

We take three pre-listing jobs a week to protect every client's shoot date — listing-season slots fill first.

Essential

Every package, every tier

Backed by the Shoot-Day Guarantee: anything in the agreed scope missed on shoot day gets fixed before the shoot ends — and if it can't be fixed in time, you get a $150 credit.

How the guarantee works
Listing Refreshes

When the listing needs to gain — not just defend.

The packages above are insurance — they defend the listing against the −7.3% discount buyers apply to homes that read as neglected. Painting, flooring, and landscaping do the other job: they capture the move-in-ready premium — +3.7%, about $13k on a typical home. Same capped-scope discipline, scoped at the same walkthrough: quoted in writing before kickoff, finished before the listing goes live.

Interior repaint in progress — ladders and drop cloths in a pre-listing home

Pre-Listing Painting

The #1 pre-listing project agents recommend — interior repaint recoups about 107% nationally. Fuego paints to neutralize, not customize: walls, ceilings, and trim in the neutral palette that photographs as move-in-ready.

Quoted by the room or the whole interior.

New composite deck boards installed over framing — close-up of a Fuego flooring swap

Flooring Swaps

Refreshed floors restore the unbroken sightlines the camera rewards — hardwood refinishing recoups about 147% nationally. Tired carpet comes out; neutral LVP or laminate goes in before the shoot.

Swap-and-refresh only — never a structural project.

Curb-Appeal Landscaping

Curb appeal is the filter buyers apply before they ever click the listing — 97% of agents call it critical. A one-time yard refresh — edges, beds, mulch, haul-away — puts the exterior photo to work.

One-time refresh, not a maintenance contract.

Market-rate, single-vendor, on your listing timeline — scoped at the walkthrough and quoted in writing before kickoff.

One focus: houses going to market. No kitchen remodels, no maintenance contracts — every Fuego scope, clean-up or refresh, is built backward from the shoot date and what the buyer will see.

Refreshes book on the same walkthrough as any package.

Process

Five steps. You appear in two of them.

The text and the yes. Everything between them is Fuego's problem.

01

The One-Text Handoff

Address, lockbox code, your seller's number. That's the entire intake.

02

Scope, locked

Fuego walks the property and talks scope directly with your seller. Caps go out in writing before kickoff — the Scope-Cap Promise.

03

Your yes

You see the flat price and the caps. Approve by text. Nothing about the number changes after this moment.

04

The work — in days

Crews sequenced backward from your shoot date. Your seller gets the updates; the "is it done?" calls never route to you.

05

Timestamped photo-ready handoff

Dated completion photos before the shoot, backed by the Shoot-Day Guarantee.

Proof

Verifiable, not just believable.

Fuego is early — verified before/after case studies publish here as listings close. Until then, nothing on this page asks for trust: every claim below is a license number you can look up, a document you'll hold before kickoff, or a guarantee with a dollar figure attached.

The Shoot-Day Guarantee

If anything in the agreed scope is missed on shoot day, we fix it before the shoot ends. If it can't be fixed in time, you get a $150 credit. No debate.

It's tied to the one day a prep vendor can make you look bad in front of your seller — and it turns "photo-ready" from a promise into an enforceable commitment. Worst case, you're holding a $150 credit; every other case, the camera never sees the miss.

Licensed for the referral.

WA general contractor CC FUEGORL751P8 · $12,000 surety bond · $1M general liability — four times the state minimum. Verify the license with WA L&I in about thirty seconds. Referring an unlicensed operator puts your license and reputation in play. Referring Fuego doesn't.

Caps in writing, before kickoff.

The Scope-Cap Promise: fixed tier scope, caps published before work starts, no surprise line items. The change-order ambush that pulls you back into a project can't happen — there's nothing to change.

Timestamped completion photos.

Every job closes with dated photos confirming shoot-readiness — proof of work you can forward to your seller without narrating it.

For listing agents

Vendor Tetris costs you 40–60 hours a year. Stop playing.

Coordinating prep trades in the 7–10 days before photos costs 2–3 active hours per listing. At twenty listings a year, that's 40–60 hours of selling time spent sequencing vendors and absorbing seller anxiety. The Ghost Mode Listing Prep returns those hours to zero — win the listing, hand your seller a photo-ready home by the shoot date, and never touch a vendor.

"I already have a guy."

Most top producers started with a guy. The question is the week he's booked solid and your photographer is confirmed for Thursday — who's the backup? A guy is labor you still have to manage. This is a system: licensed GC, caps in writing, and a guarantee tied to your shoot date.

"What if the scope creeps past the estimate?"

It structurally can't. Caps are published in writing before kickoff. Anything outside the agreed scope is quoted separately before anyone touches it — it never appears as a surprise line item.

"My photo date is five days out. Are you reliable?"

Standard turnaround is 4–7 days, scheduled backward from your shoot date — and shoot day itself is covered by the $150 fix-first guarantee. Partner agents hold 72-hour priority slots for when the calendar is tighter than that.

"Just send me pricing."

It's published — $795, $1,295, $1,995+, caps included. What a PDF can't show you is the workflow. That's what the free Curb-Appeal Audit is for: send an address, watch Ghost Mode run once, then decide.

The Fuego Partner Program

The 72-Hour Photo-Ready Guarantee — earned, not given.

Standard turnaround is 4–7 days. Partner agents get 72 hours — on any package, guaranteed. Partner status is earned: you've run at least one job with Fuego, and you bring listing volume. Slots are capped, because a 72-hour promise is only worth making if the calendar can absolutely honor it.

We take three pre-listing jobs a week. Partners book first.

FAQ

Answers before we arrive

Scope clarity is the product. Here's what agents ask first.

Standard is 4–7 days from scope-lock to photo-ready, scheduled backward from your shoot date — PNW weather gets a vote on exterior work, so buffer is built in. Partner agents carry a 72-hour guarantee on any package (see the Partner Program). Either way: days, not weeks.

Anything inside the agreed, written scope that's missed on shoot day. The sequence is fix-first: we fix it before the shoot ends; if it genuinely can't be fixed in time, you get a $150 credit. It's deliberately narrow and deliberately enforceable — it covers the day that matters.

Every package carries written caps — wash area, window pane-sides, gutter length, handyman hours — published before kickoff. Anything beyond a cap is quoted and approved before work begins. No surprise line items. That's the Scope-Cap Promise.

Quoted before work begins, after a quick photo/notes review. Typical ranges: extra windows $8–$20 each; extra gutter length per 50-ft segment; oversized wash areas ~$0.25/sq ft; difficult access $75–$200. One-off service minimum $295; travel outside the primary zone $49–$99.

No — by design. Pay-at-closing programs exist to finance $30,000 renovations. These are flat $795–$1,995 packages: card-sized, no escrow paperwork, no program fee, no lien near your seller's title. If a listing genuinely needs a financed renovation, we're not the right tool — and we'll say so.

Major electrical, plumbing, and structural work — permanently out of scope, on purpose; the cap is the point. Pre-listing painting, flooring swaps, and landscaping refreshes are a different tool: separately quoted value-add projects that lift the sale price (interior paint recoups ~107% nationally, flooring up to ~147%) rather than just protect it — ask at the walkthrough.

Yes — WA general contractor CC FUEGORL751P8, $12,000 surety bond, $1M general liability (four times the state minimum). You can verify the license with WA L&I in about thirty seconds.

Projects over $1,000 take a 25% deposit, balance at completion.
