While your home is in good condition, I know what it will take to sell it faster and for a higher price. It’s got to be in “show-ready” condition. What does that mean? We need to make it as easy as possible, for potential buyers to picture themselves immediately living in your home. That means a fresh coat of neutral paint. Trimming overgrown hedges to let the natural light in. Bringing in modern, staged furniture. This is a universal truth: the more simple, clean and neutrally-presented a home is, the better it shows. The better it shows, the quicker it sells, for that higher price. When buyers roll up to the curb, that first impression is everything.

With RealVitalize, we can get your home show-ready — with no cash up front. You’ll just pay it back when the home sells! We can get you various services – all sourced through Angi’s top-rated network of contractors. They will even give us a dedicated project manager to schedule the estimates and the work! They’ll get this all done at a fair market price, on time and on budget.

As for budget – typically the maximum total budget for any projects you want to do will equal the same amount of what my commission rate is for you. Now, Coldwell Banker Realty actually fronts the money for the work done, and they will get paid back at closing, out of the equity of your sale. As long as we use Burnett Title, which will handle the whole collection process so you don’t have to lift a finger.

Who can this apply to? We have seen several applications where this method of selling your home will be a great fit:

• Have you just inherited a property that looks outdated with loads of wallpaper, a bright red carpet and purple bath? We know these properties exist, because we see them regularly at showings. We understand that it’s a huge task to remove the belongings and then also get the property on the market. The sad part is that most people will sell it to the first cash investor that comes along, because of the sheer amount of work involved to maintaining the property. We know you want this done, but do you really want to settle for a low profit on your inheritance? Why not have us come out for a free, no-obligation assessment to see if your home would qualify and see if your home sale can yield you a higher profit? Freshly painted walls, clean carpets or new flooring and a walk-in shower might just be the answer for you.

• Are you an out-of-state landlord that wants to sell your property and be done with property maintenance? We have seen that some tenants don’t exactly take care of your property and especially lacked the time to maintain the landscape. Why not have us come out for a free, no-obligation assessment to see if your home would qualify and see if your home sale can yield you a higher profit? Junk removal, freshly painted walls and a clean smelling home with a renewed landscape exterior might be just the answer for you. We can do virtual assessments as well.

• Do you suddenly need to relocate for work? You most probably had lots of plans to finalize some projects, update your appliances, fix up some plumbing and re-doing your hardwood floors. But life happens and now you have to relocate and sell your home that looks a bit unfinished. Why not have us come out for a free, no-obligation assessment to see if your home would qualify and see if your home sale can yield you a fast sale? Maybe sealing the floors, getting the new appliances and painting the home might be just the answer for you.

These examples above are just 3 situations where we can save you time, alleviate stress, take the work off your plate, make sure we stay on budget and get you a higher sale on your property.
