Story Highlights
•
Out-of-state relocation with a fully lived-in home—requiring moving, staging, and full prep on a tight timeline
•
After completing prep in under 2 weeks, the home received multiple cash offers and sold ~30% above comps in half the average days on market
For The Agency's Megan DeVivo, working quickly is a requirement.
Working in Northern California’s fast-moving and competitive Bay Area and Santa Cruz markets, Megan knows that delays in prepping and listing home can affect the 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 out-of-state move, a home still full of belongings, and the pressure to get their home listed and sold quickly.
That’s where ReFrame's pay-at-close program (powered by Notable) 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 get the home in good shape. Instead of waiting on long financing approvals or asking the sellers to liquidate assets, they were able to fund the work and move fast.
Megan managed a full home refresh while the sellers focused on their planning their next chapter and in under two weeks, the property was in market-ready shape.
The results
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, problem solving quickly is a part of her strategy to maintain momentum in a market where timing can define outcomes. By removing financial friction. ReFrame helps her team execute quickly, list stronger, and drive better results for her sellers.
