Flooring, interior painting, bathrooms refresh, and kitchen refresh.

Realtors Lin Lin Tsou-Otani and Doug Miyaki brought this charming 3-bedroom, 3-bath ranch-style home to Revive to help prepare it for market through strategic pre-sale renovations. While the property was located on a highly desirable street in a great neighborhood, the interior needed updates to better meet the expectations of today’s buyers and maximize its value before listing. Revive developed a targeted scope of work and fronted $39,313 in renovation costs to modernize key areas throughout the home. The updates included termite repairs, fresh paint, tile replacement, and refreshes to both the master and hallway bathrooms, along with additional improvements designed to elevate the home’s presentation and buyer appeal. Together, the renovations transformed the property into a more polished, turnkey home while preserving its original charm.

The strategic improvements significantly increased the property’s market value and buyer interest. After the renovations were completed, the home sold for $1,991,000, representing a $166,000 increase over its original as-is value. The project demonstrated how even focused, modest renovations in the right areas can create substantial financial gains for homeowners preparing to sell.
