Compass agents Patrick Lowell and Andrew partnered with Revive Property Advisor Jameson Hanson to help prepare and sell a fully paid-off rental property located at 1709 Cottage Grove Avenue in San Mateo, California. The homeowners were looking to simplify their responsibilities and take advantage of the market by selling the property, but they knew the home would benefit from strategic updates before listing. Planning for an October market launch, the sellers leaned heavily on Patrick, Andrew, and the Revive team for renovation guidance and execution. Revive fronted $141,960 in interest-free renovations focused on modernizing the property and increasing buyer appeal. The updates included new flooring, kitchen and bathroom refreshes, fireplace and lighting enhancements, and garage improvements designed to transform the longtime rental into a more polished, move-in-ready home.

The renovations significantly elevated the property’s market value, increasing it from an original as-is estimate of $1,000,000 to a final sale price of $1,325,000. The successful transformation generated a profit of $183,040 for the homeowners and delivered a 128.94% return on investment. Patrick Lowell and Andrew also saw a 32.50% increase in commission, demonstrating how strategic pre-sale renovations can create exceptional outcomes for both sellers and agents alike.
