The homeowners knew the home had more potential, but needed a clear plan to unlock it.
The sale of 539 Gardenia Avenue in Placentia, California showcased a successful collaboration between Revive Property Advisor Carey Merritt and agent Nelida Mora of Major League Properties. Nelida’s client had already moved out of state into assisted living, creating the added challenge of managing the sale and renovation process remotely.
To help maximize the home’s value from afar, Nelida guided her client through a strategic pre-sale renovation plan designed to improve buyer appeal and strengthen the final sale outcome. Revive fronted $48,600 in interest-free renovations, which included updated flooring, fresh interior paint, and a kitchen refresh. Throughout the process, the team helped simplify communication and execution, making it easier for the homeowner to confidently navigate the sale remotely.
The results speak for themselves.
Originally valued at $880,000, the renovated property ultimately sold for $981,000. The successful transformation generated a profit of $52,400 for the homeowner and delivered a 107.82% return on investment. The project also increased Nelida Mora’s commission by 11.48%, creating a strong outcome for both the homeowner and agent through strategic, ROI-focused renovations.
