Renovate now, pay at closing
Buyers today want move-in ready, and they discount anything that isn’t. If you can’t afford the updates that would get you a better price, we fund and manage them. You repay from the sale proceeds at closing, and the upside stays with you.
$0 upfront, no monthly payments
We hire, pay and manage the trades
Terms in writing, reviewed by your lawyer
Why houses that need work sit
With more homes for sale across Ontario, buyers can choose, and they choose the ones they can move straight into. A dated kitchen or worn floors don’t just cost what the repair costs; buyers knock off far more, because they’d have to pay for the work in cash after stretching for the down payment. That gap is the money you leave on the table. Closing it with paint, flooring and a few fixes is usually cheaper than the discount buyers ask for. See why houses aren’t selling in Ontario for the full picture.
Kitchener, Ontario
01
A firm as-is cash offer, and our estimate of what the house could sell for after targeted updates. If the updates won’t clearly put more money in your pocket, we’ll tell you, and you can take the cash offer or keep things as they are.
02
A short list of updates that buyers actually pay for, a budget, a timeline, and how the cost is repaid. Your lawyer reviews it before anything starts. Terms are set per home.
03
We hire the trades, pay them, and keep the job on schedule. You pay nothing upfront and nothing monthly. Most cosmetic scopes take a few weeks, not months.
04
List privately through PrivateDeals and our buyers list, or with your own agent. When the sale closes, your lawyer pays back the update costs and our fee from the proceeds. Everything above that is yours.
The updates buyers notice in the first five minutes, and the ones an inspector would write up.
Interior paint in neutral colours
New flooring where it’s worn or dated
Lighting, fixtures and hardware
Kitchen and bathroom refresh (fronts, counters, taps)
Curb appeal: front door, landscaping, gutters
Items a home inspector would flag
For these, an as-is cash sale is usually the better call, and we can make that offer too.
Full gut renovations and additions
Homes with major structural or environmental problems
Sellers who need the money in under a month
An illustrative example, not a quote. The point is the shape: a modest spend on the right updates can be worth more than it costs, and with us you don’t need the cash to get there.
