How a $50K transformation led to $330K more at closing
Windermere agents Cassie & Jeremey Johnson know that the best listing outcomes start with a clear plan on getting market-ready.
When long-time homeowners decided to sell their home after 50 years, Cassie and Jeremey walked them through a complete strategic assessment, identifying seven key updates that would deliver the best return on their home prep investment.
Watch the story
Using pay-at-close funds from Notable, the sellers were able to get $50K quickly to make the updates Cassie and Jeremey recommended, all without upfront costs––they simply paid for that work out of the home sale.*
Results
The refreshed home hit the market strong, and the sellers got a 5X+ return on their home prep investment:
As-is projected price: $850,000
On the market for: 5 days
Offers received: 5
Final sale price: $1,180,000
Never sell your home "as is"
