New flooring, interior painting, kitchen total renovation, bathroom upgrades, and lighting enhancements.

This untouched 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome in Brookeville, Maryland, built in 1994, had sat vacant for years and was in need of significant updates before it could compete in today’s market. Realtor Brendan Mullenholz recognized the home’s untapped potential and saw an opportunity to transform the dated property into a more modern, move-in-ready space that would appeal to buyers. Partnering with Revive, Brendan and his dedicated Owner’s Representative developed a renovation strategy focused on the upgrades that would deliver the strongest return on investment. The transformation included a modern kitchen renovation, bathroom enhancements, new flooring, fresh paint, drywall repairs, and a complete HVAC overhaul. Revive managed the entire process from scoping and design through project completion, allowing the seller to move forward without spending any money upfront.

In just six weeks, the townhome underwent a complete transformation that significantly elevated its market value and buyer appeal. The renovations helped increase the home’s sale price by $135,000 above its original value, generated an additional $54,740 in profit for the homeowner, and increased Brendan Mullenholz’s commission by 46.55%. The project demonstrated how strategic pre-sale renovations can breathe new life into long-vacant properties while creating strong financial outcomes for both sellers and agents.
