For The Agency agent Megan DeVivo, speed isn’t just an advantage—it’s a requirement.

Working in Northern California’s fast-moving Bay Area and Santa Cruz markets, Megan knows that delays in preparing a home can directly impact both timing and final sale price.

When a recent client needed to relocate out of state for work, timing became even more critical.

The sellers were juggling a major move, a home still full of belongings, and the pressure to get their property ready for market quickly—without the ability to front the costs or wait through a traditional financing process.

That’s where Notable’s pay-at-close home preparation funding changed the trajectory.

Within 48 hours, the sellers were approved and had access to funds, allowing Megan and her team to immediately begin coordinating the work needed to bring the home to market. Instead of waiting on loan approvals or asking the sellers to liquidate assets, they were able to move forward without interruption.

The home underwent a full refresh, including staging and preparation, while the sellers focused on their move and next home search.

In under two weeks, the property was fully market-ready.

Once listed, the results were immediate.

The home received multiple cash offers and ultimately sold for 30% higher than comparable properties, while also cutting days on market in half.

For Megan, the impact goes beyond a single transaction—it’s about maintaining momentum in a market where timing can define outcomes.

By removing financial friction upfront, Notable enabled her team to execute quickly, deliver a stronger listing, and drive a significantly better result for the seller.
