The homeowners knew the home had more potential, but needed a clear plan to unlock it.
With a property to sell in Santa Cruz and a busy life in Florida, the homeowner wanted a hassle-free way to maximize their return. Agent Nick Bailey of Bailey Properties, working alongside Property Advisor Jon Salas, and introduced the idea of pre-sale renovations to help boost the home’s value. The seller agreed, and with a $167,332 investment for renovations fronted by Revive, the home began its transformation which included fresh flooring, interior and exterior paint, a modernized kitchen and bathroom, enhanced lighting, fireplace upgrades, and improved curb appeal with softscape enhancements.
The results speak for themselves.
