The Fix and Sell Strategy: Maximizing Your Estate’s Equity

The “Fix and Sell” strategy is a proactive approach to selling a probate property where we invest in strategic repairs and renovations before listing the home on the open market. The goal is not just to sell the house, but to maximize the final sale price and net proceeds for the heirs or the estate.

This is the opposite of selling “as-is” to an investor for a discounted price. Instead, we act as the investor on your behalf, but with one crucial difference: you have $0 upfront cost.

How The Fix and Sell Strategy Works:
Free Property Assessment: We evaluate the property to identify key repairs and upgrades that will offer the highest return on investment (ROI). We focus on critical items (roof, HVAC, electrical) and high-impact cosmetic updates (paint, flooring, kitchen refreshes).

Transparent Proposal: We provide you with a detailed plan outlining the recommended work, the projected cost, and—most importantly—the estimated after-repair value (ARV). This shows you the potential financial benefit before you make any decisions.

We Fund the Work: Once approved, my trusted network of contractors begins work. The estate pays nothing upfront. My expertise ensures the work is done correctly, on time, and on budget.

Professional Marketing & Sale: Once the property is renovated, we professionally stage, market, and list it to attract the broadest pool of potential buyers, typically fetching a price much closer to—or even above—market value.

Costs are Repaid at Closing: All renovation, holding, and project management costs are simply repaid from the sale proceeds at the closing table. You only pay if the sale is successful. The remaining profit is yours to keep.

Why Choose the Fix and Sell Strategy?
Higher Sale Price: A move-in ready home appeals to traditional buyers and families, who pay a premium compared to investors buying “as-is.”

Faster Sale: Well-maintained, modern homes sell faster, reducing carrying costs (property taxes, insurance, utilities).

Less Stress: We manage the entire renovation project from start to finish. You get the benefits of a flip without any of the work or risk.

Competitive Bidding: A beautifully renovated home can often generate multiple offers, further driving up the final price.

Ideal for properties that are:
Outdated but structurally sound.

In need of cosmetic repairs (old carpets, outdated kitchens/baths, paint).

Located in a strong market where renovated homes are in high demand.

The Fix and Sell Strategy is a powerful tool to honor the full value of the asset your loved one left behind. It turns a property that might be a burden into a maximized financial legacy.
