As 2024 comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the impact of our Renovation Sells Owners. As part of a trusted national franchise, each Owner brings passion, expertise, and a deep commitment to the neighborhoods they serve, transforming not just homes, but also lives and communities. Being a local business isn’t just about geography—it’s about connection, trust, and building something meaningful. Our Owners deliver personalized service rooted in an intimate understanding of their neighborhoods, ensuring their clients feel supported every step of the way.

Building Stronger Communities, One Home at a Time

For our Owners, being local means creating lasting value for the communities they call home. By understanding the unique needs of their neighborhoods, they deliver strategic renovations that improve not only individual homes but also the real estate landscape as a whole.

As Chris Winston, Owner of Renovation Sells East Bay, shares, “I feel extremely fulfilled helping homeowners increase the value of their greatest asset, while improving the real estate value of the homes around them. And the icing on the cake is hearing how much the new homeowners love the house that they just purchased!”

This focus on adding value also resonates deeply with Jerry Welch, of Renovation Sells Rockwall, who says, “Pride in increasing the value of our community’s homes” drives everything he does.

Fostering Connection and Care

At Renovation Sells, being local also means being a neighbor. Our Owners are deeply committed to forging personal connections with their communities and serving clients with care and expertise. Shaluka Perera, Owner of Renovation Sells Cary-Apex says, “It gets me out the door every day and gives me an opportunity to build a deeper connection with my neighbors.” 

This commitment to personal relationships is at the core of Renovation Sells’ mission. Our Owners are more than service providers—they are trusted neighbors and partners in their communities’ success.

Helping Families Thrive

The work our Owners do often goes beyond renovations—it’s about enabling families to thrive in today’s economy. After years of military and government service, Tony Schenk, Owner of Renovation Sells Texas Hill Country, finds fulfillment in helping those around him: “After serving in the military and government, it is incredibly rewarding to bring families I live around measurable value. There’s no doubt we enable our neighbors to make more money that is needed in today’s economy.”

Shawn Greenan, coast-guard veteran and Owner of Renovation Sells Emerald Coast, echoes this sentiment, highlighting the long-term benefits for her community: “Being a local business Owner means everything to me because it allows me to support my community by helping homeowners maximize their profits when selling their homes while keeping property values strong for all of us who call the Emerald Coast home.”

Giving Back to the Community

Many Renovation Sells Owners also find ways to give back to the communities they serve, using their success to support local causes. Steve Swanson, of Renovation Sells Northern Colorado, shares, “We love giving back to our community! Our Renovation Sells business allows us to not only provide tremendous value to Realtors and their clients, but also to sponsor some great causes and organizations.”

This spirit of generosity is a hallmark of what it means to be part of the Renovation Sells family—our Owners are not just making homes better; they are uplifting their communities in countless ways.
