The homeowners knew the home had more potential, but needed a clear plan to unlock it.
This Carlsbad property had potential—but years of deferred maintenance left it needing everything: kitchen, bathrooms, windows, stucco, even the garage door. The homeowners had already purchased their next home and were looking to free up cash and refinance within six months, but the time and energy needed to renovate on their own just wasn’t realistic. Agent Nikol Klein knew this was a perfect match for Revive. She partnered with Property Advisor Luke Gutierrez to take the renovation off the sellers’ plate and transform the home into something move-in ready for a new family.
The results speak for themselves.
Over $300K went into a full-scale makeover—remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, new windows and doors, stucco and drywall repairs, landscaping, lighting, and more. The result? A $650K increase in home value, over $340K in seller profit, and a 72% bump in commission for Nikol. Big renovation, big payoff—for everyone involved.
