Pre-Sale Renovation Program

Maximize Your Property's Value Before You List

We help homeowners identify and complete the pre-sale renovations and remodeling that increase sale price the most, with funding available for qualifying properties so the right work gets done before you go to market.

How We Think About Renovations

Renovations Built Around Return, Not Guesswork

Not every renovation increases what a property sells for. Some improvements pay for themselves many times over, and others barely make a difference. We help you tell the difference before you spend a dollar.

Our team analyzes the property, the local market, and current buyer expectations to recommend the specific renovations worth doing, and just as importantly, the ones worth skipping. From there, we coordinate contractor bids, build the budget and timeline, and oversee the project until it is done.

 

Where Renovation Dollars Go the Furthest

What We Help You Renovate

Every property is different, but these are the areas we evaluate first for pre-sale return.

Kitchen Updates

Countertops, cabinetry refreshes, and fixture updates that modernize the space without a full teardown.

Bathroom Refreshes

Updated vanities, fixtures, and finishes that make a strong impression during showings.

Curb Appeal & Exterior

Landscaping, entryway, and exterior touch-ups that shape a buyer's first impression before they walk in.

Flooring & Fresh Paint

Some of the highest return, lowest complexity updates available for almost any property.

Structural & Mechanical

Roofing, plumbing, and electrical fixes that remove red flags before a buyer's inspection does.

Staging-Ready Finishing Touches

Final details that help the property show well in photos and in person on listing day.

How We Work

From Property Assessment to Listing Day

Every renovation project we manage follows the same clear process.

01

Property Assessment

We walk through the property and identify which renovations will genuinely increase sale price.

02

Renovation Plan

We build a prioritized plan, budget, and timeline based on what matters most for your market.

03

Contractor Bids

We coordinate and review multiple bids, so you are not overpaying or guessing on quality.

04

Project Oversight

We manage the renovation from start to finish, keeping it on schedule and on budget.

05

List & Sell

The finished property is prepared and ready to show, positioned for a stronger sale price.

Funding, If You Need It

Funding for Qualifying Properties

Up to $200,000

Some homeowners have the recommended renovation plan but not the capital to complete it right away. For qualifying properties, Legacy can provide funding of up to $200,000 to complete the recommended pre-sale renovations, evaluated case by case and secured through legal documentation.

This funding is not required to work with us. It is simply available for homeowners who need it, so the right renovations happen before listing rather than being delayed or skipped.

Funding is subject to property qualification, underwriting, and a signed legal agreement. Terms vary by market and are not guaranteed for every property. This is not financial or legal advice, and homeowners should review terms with their own advisors before proceeding.
