For Homeowners
Your equity does the work. You keep the upside.
Most homes sell below their potential because the seller doesn't have $25,000 sitting liquid for a refresh. We remove that barrier — we fund it, we manage it, and we're repaid at closing.
The Deal, Plainly
What actually happens.
We evaluate your home
A walkthrough and market analysis identify which renovations will generate the highest return for your specific property — and which to skip.
You approve a written scope
Cost, timeline, and the work itself are documented in an agreement secured against the home. You sign before anything starts.
Our crews do the work
Vetted local contractors execute the refresh — paint, flooring, kitchen updates, lighting, landscaping — while we manage every trade and milestone.
You sell, we settle at closing
The home lists at its full potential. Our capital is repaid from proceeds at the closing table — the remaining upside is yours.
The money, clearly
No deposits, no draws, no monthly payments while the work happens.
Settlement happens at the closing table, handled through escrow like every other line item.
A written agreement, recorded properly. No handshakes, no surprises.
Our projects have typically increased market value 15–25% over as-is condition.
The Scope
High-return work only.
A pre-sale refresh isn't a remodel. We do the focused, cosmetic work that buyers pay for — and skip the projects that don't pencil.
Paint, inside and out
The highest-return dollar in residential real estate.
Flooring
LVP and carpet replacement that modernizes every room at once.
Kitchen refresh
Cabinets, counters, hardware, and lighting — the room that sells the house.
Bath updates
Fixtures, vanities, and finishes that read as move-in ready.
Lighting & hardware
Small line items that change how every photo looks.
Landscaping & curb appeal
The first impression online and at the curb — where buyers decide.
Questions
Asked and answered.
What does it cost me upfront?
Nothing. Refresh Capital funds the full renovation. There are no deposits, draws, or monthly payments — our capital is repaid from your sale proceeds at closing.
How is the arrangement secured?
The renovation capital is secured by a recorded lien against the property, documented in a written agreement you review before any work begins. Everything is transparent and in writing.
Who decides what gets renovated?
We propose a scope based on what returns more than it costs in your local market — typically paint, flooring, kitchen updates, lighting, and landscaping. You review and approve the scope before work starts.
Who does the work?
Vetted local crews from our contractor network, managed by Refresh Capital. We handle scheduling, quality, and timeline — you don't manage the project.
How long does a pre-sale renovation take?
Most pre-sale refreshes are focused cosmetic scopes measured in weeks, not months. We define the timeline in the scope agreement before work begins.
Do I have to use a specific real estate agent?
No. If you already have an agent, we work alongside them — many of our projects come through agent partners. If you don't have one, we can introduce you to agents we trust in your area.
