The homeowners knew the home had more potential, but needed a clear plan to unlock it.
At 1778 Redwood Rd in Hercules, CA, Property Advisor Steven Feeko partnered with agent Julie Martinez of Cultivate Real Estate to assist a family navigating the sale of a home held in trust. The homeowner’s mother had recently passed away, and the family was eager to sell and divide the proceeds among the siblings. The property, while structurally sound, was outdated and needed improvements to maximize its market value. Julie, new to working with Revive, appreciated the opportunity to oversee the project without taking on additional responsibilities.
The results speak for themselves.
The $110,010 renovation addressed the home’s most pressing needs. Inside, outdated popcorn ceilings were removed, and new flooring, baseboards, and trim were installed. The bathrooms were remodeled, and the kitchen received a refresh, including new countertops and an appliance package. Lighting enhancements brightened the space, while fresh interior and exterior paint gave the home a cohesive, updated look.
These updates allowed the property to sell for $875,000, yielding a $64,990 net profit for the family and a 59.08% return on investment. Julie also saw a 25% increase in commission from the sale. For the homeowner and her family, the partnership with Revive provided a stress-free way to prepare the home for sale, ensuring it met its full potential on the market.
