Gaylen Tolbert, an agent with Compass, partnered with Revive Property Advisor Andrew Howard to help transform a ground-floor unit located at 5330 Diamond Heights Boulevard in San Francisco, California. After owning the property for 40 years, the seller wanted a turnkey solution that would help protect their equity and support a comfortable retirement. To maximize the unit’s market potential, the team developed a renovation strategy focused on improving functionality, modernizing the space, and increasing buyer appeal. Revive facilitated a $70,660 renovation that included adding in-unit laundry, converting the dining room into a second bedroom, and completing a series of modern upgrades throughout the home. Gaylen’s deep knowledge of the building and HOA, combined with Revive’s renovation expertise, helped guide the project smoothly from start to finish.

Originally valued at $550,000, the renovated unit ultimately sold for $648,000. The project generated a profit of $27,340 for the homeowner, delivered a 38.69% return on investment, and increased Gaylen Tolbert’s commission by 17.82%. The successful transformation helped the seller move forward confidently into retirement while positioning the property as a more competitive, turnkey home for buyers.
