One team, one timeline, one point of contact, so you can focus on the transaction instead of chasing contractors.
Posted on Google Maureen Minogue23 March 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an excellent experience working with Listing Liftoff to prepare my townhome for sale. Andrew Ingley and the Listing Liftoff team worked closely with my Compass Realtor, Julie Chesne, who is also fantastic, to identify the updates that would most elevate the home’s presentation and appeal to buyers. From start to finish, the project was handled with professionalism and care. The improvements made a meaningful difference, and the home ultimately felt brighter, more polished, and truly market-ready — all without the process feeling overwhelming or overly disruptive. Listing Liftoff managed everything efficiently and kept the work moving seamlessly, which made the experience far easier than I anticipated. Once listed, the property went under contract quickly and sold above asking. I would confidently recommend Listing Liftoff to anyone looking to prepare their home for sale with a polished, well-executed approach.Posted on Google Karen Hohl2 March 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am thrilled with Andrew and Listing Liftoff’s high-quality work, budget-sensitive innovative solutions, and ability to complete the project on time to make my condo market-ready. Andrew was recommended to me by my realtor, Julie Goding at Century 21 Circle, and I chose him over three other contractors because of his expertise, budget-conscious solutions, can-do positive attitude, and quick turnaround time. Working together, revising the estimate to maximize market return, I decided to repair and repaint my unit. The results were well worth the investment! Andrew also recommended replacing my older pull-cord closet lights with a simple, cost effective ingenious multi control overhead for each side. Another stellar solution! Andrew and Shawn were both a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend them.
