Your home may be worth far more with the right updates, but repairs cost money and take time. With our renovate-and-list program, we help you renovate, we pay for the renovation costs, we list the home and market it for top dollar, and we are paid at closing with no hidden charges.

How Renovate and List Works
- Property estimate and paperwork. We prepare a property estimate and put everything in writing up front, so there is no confusion about the work, the costs or the timeline. This includes a certified appraisal of the current as-is value and a comparative market analysis.
- Property walkthrough. We walk the home with you and outline the repairs and upgrades most likely to raise the sale price.
- We pay for the renovation. Approved work is completed by trusted contractors, and we pay the renovation costs, so you do not pay out of pocket.
- List and sell for top dollar. We price, stage and market the home across Northern Virginia to get the best result the market will give.
- Paid at closing, no hidden charges. We are paid at settlement from the sale proceeds, exactly as laid out in the agreement you reviewed before work started.
Who Renovate and List Is For
- Homeowners with a dated or worn home who do not want to spend cash before selling.
- Owners who inherited a property that needs work, see estate and probate home sales.
- Sellers who want a higher price than an as-is sale would bring.
- Homeowners behind on payments with enough equity to sell, see avoiding foreclosure.
Renovate and List or Sell As-Is?
We show you each path side by side so you can decide with real numbers:
- As-is market sale. List the home in its current condition.
- As-is cash sale. Sell quickly for cash. Get a guaranteed cash offer.
- Renovate and list. Update first, then list for the highest price.
Renovation Questions Sellers Ask
Do I pay anything before the work starts?
No. We pay the renovation costs for approved work and are paid at closing.
Are there hidden charges?
No. Everything is in the written agreement before work begins, so you know the costs and how we are paid. Terms and conditions apply.
What happens if the home does not sell?
This is covered in the written agreement before any work begins. We walk through it with you so there are no surprises.
Which repairs are worth doing?
Not every project pays off. We recommend only work likely to increase your net proceeds, based on local comparable sales.
Which areas do you serve?
Fairfax, Vienna, McLean, Falls Church, Reston, Arlington, Ashburn, Aldie, Woodbridge, Dumfries, Stafford and the rest of Northern Virginia.
