A Renovate to Sell case study
Allison Gelbrich of Dreamscape Real Estate was working with siblings who had inherited a family home and were managing the transition of their elderly parent to a smaller living situation. The home had clear potential, but needed meaningful renovations to compete in the market - and the family was not in a position to fund that work out of pocket.
Allison knew the home needed renovations to attract buyers and maximize the sale price. The challenge was finding a way to do the work without placing the financial burden on a family already navigating a difficult life transition.
She reached out to Revive.
The renovation scope focused on modernizing the home inside and out:
-
Flooring throughout
-
Interior and exterior painting
-
Bathroom remodel
-
Kitchen remodel
-
Curb appeal improvements
-
Doors and windows replacements
-
Lighting enhancements
Revive's contractors executed the work with oversight from the Revive team, keeping the project on track and on budget.
As-is estimated value: $900,000
Renovation investment: $296,472 (covered by Revive)
Final sale price: $1,380,000
Home value increase: $480,000
Total profit: $183,528
For the family, Revive's upfront funding meant they never had to pull renovation costs from their own pockets during an already stressful period. The renovation was fully handled, and the financial return came at closing.
For Allison, the project boosted her commission by 53.33% compared to what a standard as-is sale would have generated - a meaningful result for both her and her clients.
The renovation took the property's value from $900,000 to a final sale price of $1,380,000 - a $480,000 increase in home value. After renovation costs and associated fees, the family netted $183,528 in profit.
