If you’ve been watching the real estate market in Phoenix lately, you’ve probably noticed a shift: homes are taking longer to sell — unless they’re fully updated. Move-in-ready homes are still flying off the market and selling for top dollar. Meanwhile, outdated properties often sit for months, attracting lowball offers and frustrating sellers.
So what’s a homeowner to do when their property needs updates, but they don’t have the budget to take on a remodel?
That’s where my Renovate Now, Pay at Closing program comes in.
The Problem: Outdated Homes = Longer Sales + Lower Prices
Let’s face it: today’s buyers want modern finishes, updated kitchens and baths, and homes that feel fresh and move-in ready. And they’re willing to pay a premium for it. It’s not just any remodel that will garner the highest purchase price, but that which fits the aesthetic that is most highly desired in today’s market.
In contrast, homes that need work are:
- Sitting on the market for 2–3x longer
- Receiving below-market offers
- Often selling to investors who plan to renovate and flip keeping the extra profit for themselves
That might be fine for the investor… but why shouldn’t you get that profit instead?
The Solution: Renovate Now. Pay Later. Sell for More.
With my pre-sale renovation program, you can unlock the full value of your home — without paying anything until closing. That means:
- You don’t pay out of pocket for updates, staging, or repairs
- All costs are covered using the proceeds from your home sale
- Renovations are done quickly and efficiently by vetted professionals
- You sell your home faster and for significantly more money
The Data Doesn’t Lie: Renovated Homes Sell for More and Faster
Recent data from Zillow shows that “remodeled” is now the #1 keyword attracting buyers in online listings, a major shift from the days when “fixer-upper” buyers were leading the pack.
In the Phoenix market (2025), here’s what kind of return sellers are seeing on key updates:
- 100%+ ROI on interior and exterior paint – one of the highest impact, lowest cost improvements
- 81% ROI on a minor kitchen remodel (think new counters, fresh cabinet faces, updated lighting)
- 94% ROI on a new garage door – boosts curb appeal instantly
- 70–100% ROI on xeriscaping and curb appeal improvements
- 70% ROI on new flooring – LVP is durable, affordable, and stylish
- 66% ROI on a midrange bathroom remodel – always high on buyer wish lists
Plus: staged and renovated homes sell dramatically faster. While Phoenix’s current median time on market sits at 64 days, remodeled homes often sell in half that time (or less), thanks to their appeal to buyers who want a home that’s “done.”
Perfect for Inherited or Longtime Family Homes
This program is a game-changer for anyone selling a property that hasn’t been updated in years — like a parent’s home or a longtime family home with deferred maintenance.
Because the home is usually vacant, renovations are quicker and less disruptive — and once complete, we’ll stage it beautifully and take professional photos to maximize buyer interest and online engagement.
You get:
- A faster sale
- A higher purchase price
- Zero out-of-pocket renovation costs
- And the satisfaction of knowing you didn’t leave money on the table
