How We Helped Ben Net $84K More On His Home Sale—Without Spending Out of Pocket

If there’s one thing we’re passionate about, it’s finding the right solution for every seller. Some may call it obsessive—we call it dedicated. Whether a home needs a little love or a full transformation, we believe there’s always a way to unlock maximum value with minimal stress.

Here’s a real story of how we helped a client turn a tough situation into a massive win.

The Challenge: A Reverse Mortgage and a Ticking Clock

Ben inherited his mother’s home—a property tied up in a reverse mortgage, with some overdue maintenance issues and partially finished repairs. The pressure was on. He needed to sell fast, but he didn’t want to sacrifice value by selling it “as-is.”

Enter: our consultative approach. We presented Ben with four customized selling options, and one stood out above the rest.

The Strategy: Renovate to Sell—Without Paying Upfront

The winning solution? Renovate to Sell, made possible by our incredible partners at Revive.RealEstate.

Together, we:

• Created a renovation game plan

• Set a clear budget and profit goals

• Predicted the post-renovation market value

• Covered all renovation costs upfront

Ben didn’t have to lift a finger—or open his wallet.

Execution Mode: Fast, Focused, and Beautiful

We moved fast to bring the vision to life:

• Renovations were completed seamlessly through Revive

• Professional staging elevated the space

• A top-tier photographer captured the stunning transformation

And then... it was go time.

The Results: Over Asking. Multiple Offers. 4 Days.

Once listed, the home drew multiple offers and went under contract in just 4 days—above asking price. The real jaw-dropper?

Ben netted over $84,000 more than he would have selling in its original condition.

And the kicker? He never paid a dime out of pocket.
