This 3bd/2ba home in Placentia, CA, had spent the past 12 years as a single-family rental, but with the tenant moving out, the owners were now looking to sell. Agent Gina Strane Ellis knew her clients could sell for more if the home underwent some work before listing, so she introduced them to Revive. Revive came in and fronted the money, provided the contractor and the design team needed to get the home updated and looking its best. Then, after some major fixes, like removing asbestos-laden popcorn ceilings and updating the master bath, kitchen, and carpets, the house was ready to sell. Pre-sale renovations took this home’s as-is value from $775,000 to selling for an astonishing $1,120,000, helping the sellers profit $199,273.72 after the cost of renovations and increasing Gina’s commission by 44.52% — a big win for Gina’s clients and herself. It just goes to show the proof is in the pudding. Pre-sale renovations help agents sell for more.
