In a recent pre-sale renovation project, Coldwell Banker Realty agent Robin Stelle partnered with Revive Property Advisor Amanda Steele to transform a dated 1980s home located at 3465 Rio Road in Carmel, California. Homeowners Sally and Dave were preparing to move closer to family in Ohio and wanted to maximize the value of their home before bringing it to market. Although the property was initially valued at $1,500,000, the home needed strategic updates to better compete with today’s buyer expectations. Revive fronted $255,141 in renovations focused on high-impact improvements that would elevate both presentation and market appeal. The transformation included fresh interior and exterior paint, deck remodeling, a master bathroom overhaul, and additional updates designed to modernize the home while preserving its charm.

The renovations dramatically increased the home’s value and buyer appeal, helping the property sell for $2,045,000. The successful transformation generated a profit of $289,859 for the homeowners and delivered a 113.61% return on investment. The project also increased Robin Stelle’s commission by 36.33%, highlighting the impact strategic pre-sale renovations can have on maximizing profitability for both homeowners and agents.
