Deferred Maintenance & Thinking of Selling?

Don’t leave 20–25% of your property’s value on the table.

If your property has deferred maintenance — aging systems, outdated finishes, or visible wear — selling “as is” may seem faster, but it can cost you significantly. In today’s market, buyers factor repair risk into their offers, often discounting by 20–25% or more. Deferred maintenance also limits financing options and reduces buyer competition, resulting in lower offers and slower closings.

Bring Our Team In Early — Get the Most for Your Asset

Before listing, strategic preparation can make all the difference. Our team helps you protect your equity, attract stronger offers, and position your property to appeal to both retail buyers and professional, liquid investors ready to close quickly.

Here’s how we do it:

• Pre-Sale Property Audit: Identify the highest-ROI improvements — roof, paint, flooring, fixtures — that increase buyer confidence and overall property appeal.

• Strategic Repairs: Focus on what buyers notice first — curb appeal, entry, and major systems — to remove early objections and inspection risks.

• Flexible “As-Is” Pricing: If you prefer not to renovate, we’ll strategically market your property to professional and liquid buyers seeking value-add opportunities.

• Vendor Coordination: From contractors to inspections and disclosures, our team manages every step to ensure compliance, clarity, and a smooth closing.

Case Study: Cupertino Single-Family Home

A long-term rental property in Cupertino required substantial updates before listing. With a focused 45-day pre-sale improvement plan — including interior paint, new flooring, lighting, and exterior enhancements — the property generated multiple offers and sold for $620,000 above its original “as-is” market estimate.

We also guided another seller through a San Jose property transformation that began as a long-term rental in need of attention. Originally priced just above $300,000, the home underwent a focused 28-day improvement plan addressing key cosmetic and functional updates. The result: multiple competitive offers and a swift closing, yielding a net profit of $260,000. A strong example of how disciplined preparation and strategic timing can turn deferred maintenance into measurable equity gains.

Real Results, Not Guesswork

Our listings that completed targeted pre-sale improvements averaged 18–25% higher net proceeds than similar properties sold “as is.” Strategic preparation pays — and having an experienced team ensures your property reaches the right buyers at the right price.

Timing Matters
