This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in Rancho Santa Margarita was brought to Revive by Realtor Terry Matheus after years of noticeable wear left the property in need of modernization before hitting the market. Terry recognized that with the right updates, the home could significantly increase in value and better compete with today’s buyer expectations. Partnering with Revive, Terry helped her clients move forward with a renovation strategy rooted in return on investment while avoiding the burden of upfront renovation costs. Revive fronted approximately $167,000 in renovations and developed a targeted design plan focused on the upgrades that would create the greatest impact on buyer appeal. The transformation included new flooring, updated baseboards and trim, a refreshed kitchen with new cabinetry, countertops, backsplash, and additional modern enhancements throughout the home.

Originally valued at $900,000 as-is, the renovated property ultimately sold for $1.165 million. The strategic improvements generated an additional $98,033 in profit for the homeowners while transforming the property into a more modern, move-in-ready home. This successful project marked Terry Matheus’ third transaction using Revive’s Prepare to Sell solution, reinforcing the value of thoughtful pre-sale renovations in maximizing homeowner outcomes.
