Summary

Erin O’Brien-Kerr wasn’t just the agent on this sale—she was also the homeowner. With plans to move to Panama, she needed to maximize her home’s value before listing it. Working with Revive and Property Advisor Amanda Steele, Revive invested $54,708 into strategic updates, including a kitchen refresh, exterior painting, drywall repairs, and hardscaping. These improvements helped improve the home’s curb appeal and overall desirability, making it stand out in the competitive Scotts Valley market.

Originally valued at $1,700,000, the home sold for $1,848,000—resulting in a $93,292 profit. With a 171% ROI, Erin successfully boosted her home’s value, secured a strong sale, and was able to move forward with her plans for Panama with some extra money in her pocket.

While there is an abundance of evidence that supports that renovated turnkey homes sell faster and for more, Revive, nor the Contractor, can guarantee a specific as-is or after renovation value or the exact time that it would take to get a renovated home sold. Further, Revive cannot provide a guarantee that the real estate market will not experience fluctuations or a decrease during the renovation or sales period.
