Strategic support for Realtors and homeowners to maximize ROI and close the deal, faster.
The 90% Gap | Precision Property Prep
Most properties are 90% of the way to a perfect sale. I’m here for the final 10%. Drawing on 20 years of experience in the technology sector, I bring a level of responsiveness and precision that the traditional trades often lack.
I specialize in high-impact support for Realtors, tackling the critical pre-listing touch-ups and post-inspection repairs that keep closings on schedule. In a high-stakes market where timing is everything, I provide the professional reliability needed to bridge the gap between "for sale" and "sold."
Based in Cedar Park and serving the Greater Austin area. When details matter and deadlines are non-negotiable, I’m here to finish the job.

Our Core Values
1. Tech-Sector Reliability
After 20 years in the technology sector, "ghosting" isn't in my vocabulary. I treat your closing date like a product launch deadline. I provide the professional responsiveness, clear communication, and punctuality that the traditional trades often lack. When I say it will be done, it’s done.
2. Strategic ROI (The Pre-Listing Lens)
We don’t just fix things; we prioritize them. I focus on the final 10% of repairs that generate the biggest impact on a buyer’s first impression. My goal is to help sellers spend smart to sell high, ensuring the property looks as good in person as it does in the professional photos.
3. The "Deal-Saver" Response
Post-inspection periods are high-stress and time-sensitive. I specialize in rapid-response remediation for those "red flag" items that threaten a closing. I move fast to satisfy inspection requirements so you can keep the deal moving toward the finish line without the drama.
4. Precision Over "Good Enough"
I bring a technical eye to every baseboard, fixture, and finish. I look for the small imperfections that buyers use as mental "tally marks" against your price. By closing the 90% Gap with precision, I ensure the property stands up to the highest level of scrutiny.
5. Realtor-First Partnership
I’m not just a handyman; I’m an extension of your team. I understand that my work reflects on your reputation. I provide the reliability and professional polish that makes Realtors look like heroes to their clients.
Who is Behind Property Prep?
David Siejka
David Siejka spent two decades in the world of high-stakes technology project management and mobile app engagement, leading teams to build seamless digital experiences for some of the biggest brands. In that world, "close enough" is a failure. You don't launch a global app with bugs, and you certainly don't ignore the user experience. Eventually, he realized that the same rigor required to ship world-class technology was missing from the world of residential real estate.
Why the Pivot?
For the past 10 years, David has had a foot in both worlds—managing complex digital projects by day and maintaining his own rental properties and renovations by night. He saw a consistent, frustrating gap in the market: The "90% Gap."So many homes are 90% of the way to a perfect listing or a dream move-in, but they get tripped up by that final 10%—the small imperfections, the "honey-do" list that never got done, and the hidden maintenance issues that kill deals during the inspection phase.
