Before Revive
The homeowners knew the home had more potential, but needed a clear plan to unlock it.
Agent Meredith Orf of Realty Austin partnered with Revive Property Advisor Luke Gutierrez to help unlock the full potential of a property located at 3010 Sesbania Drive in Austin, Texas. Meredith’s client, Jennifer W., was managing the property remotely from Houston and was considering selling the home as-is due to rising property taxes and the challenges of overseeing renovations from another city.
While the home’s original as-is valuation was estimated at $400,000, Meredith and Luke recognized there was a significant opportunity to create greater value through strategic renovations. Together, they developed a renovation plan focused not just on refreshing the home, but on transforming it into a highly desirable, move-in-ready property that would strongly appeal to modern buyers.
With a renovation budget of $153,734, the property underwent substantial upgrades designed to elevate both functionality and market appeal. The improvements repositioned the home from a dated property into a standout listing capable of commanding a much stronger sales price.
The results speak for themselves.
After the renovations were completed, the property sold for an impressive $710,000. The transformation generated an additional $156,266 in profit for Jennifer and delivered a 101.65% return on investment. Meredith Orf also saw a 77.50% increase in commission, demonstrating how strategic renovations and the right partnership can dramatically improve financial outcomes for both homeowners and agents.
