1215 Nancy Lane — San Ramon, CA
A Sell 360 case study
Natarajan and Padma had been trying to sell their San Ramon home for more than 60 days with no success. The clock was working against them - they were carrying an out-of-state investment property with an interest rate on the verge of ballooning, and they needed to pay off a $250,000 loan quickly.
The longer the home sat on the market, the more financial pressure built. A traditional sale at as-is value was not going to solve their problem fast enough. A standard cash offer would get them out quickly but would leave significant equity on the table.
They needed a better option. That is where Sell 360 came in.
Revive completed a targeted 40-day renovation focused on the updates most likely to move the sale price:
-
Interior painting
-
Cabinetry refresh
-
Bathroom refresh
-
Kitchen refresh with new appliances
-
Lighting enhancements
-
Staging
The scope was deliberate - not a full gut renovation, but the right improvements to bring the home from a dated, stale listing to a fresh, move-in-ready property that buyers would respond to.
The financial pressure that had been building over 60-plus days on the market was resolved immediately when the first check cleared. The second check added meaningful profit on top.
As-is estimated value: $629,816
Renovation investment: $71,450 (covered by Revive)
Post-renovation estimated value: $900,000
Final sale price: $825,000
Home value increase: $195,184
First check (at purchase): $350,000
Second check (after sale): $344,487
Total profit: $123,734
Agent commission increase: 31%
The home sold for $825,000 after the 40-day renovation - $195,184 above its as-is estimated value. Natarajan and Padma received two checks: $350,000 upfront (which covered their $250,000 loan with room to spare) and $344,487 after the final sale.
For their agent, the transaction increased commission by 31% compared to what an as-is sale would have generated.
