Austin realtor Audrey Pudder knew she could get her clients top-dollar for this single-family home with a little TLC. So, before listing, she reached out to the experts for help.
After 2.5 weeks of renovations, the home was listed and got multiple offers in just 12 hours, allowing the sellers to take their pick and ultimately get $30k over asking. In the end, the buyers got their dream home and the sellers were able to claim a $168k profit from the renovations.
Project Scope
Kitchen: Paint walls and cabinetry, update countertops, backsplash, faucets, and hardware, update lighting
Living Room: Paint walls, trim, and staircase
Guest Bath: Paint walls, trim, update countertops and faucet

What the Agent Said
“The Renovation Sells team transformed my clients’ home in 2.5 weeks. It was a big project with a lot of moving parts, and they were calm and professional. We were able to get the home on the market during peak selling season, and it sold for $30k over list price in multiple offers.”

What the Sellers Said
“As a result of the renovations, we were able to list the house at a premium to the local market, and it was under contract at above asking price within 12 hours of the listing. We realized an over 200% return on the renovation investment. It is rare to see a company with the customer focus that this team had. Their responsiveness and attention to detail, communications, questions, concerns, and schedule were among the best we’ve ever experienced. In the end, they delivered exactly what we needed, on time, on budget.”
- Terry O., Austin Homeowner
