Money for Home Improvements

02-5-2020 | Home Improvement | 3 Min Read

Need to sell your home, but wondering where you’re going to find the time – and money – to freshen up your living room? 

We can help! Coldwell Banker has an exclusive new program called RealVitalize that can help with the home improvements and repairs needed to prepare a home for sale. We can cover your upfront costs for the improvement work – saving you time and money. When your home sells, we’re paid back from the proceeds of the sale. There is no cost for you to use the program. No fees or charges of any kind!  

Simply put, it is a way for you to access free money to make the improvements that will help you quickly sell your home, at its maximum price. 

 

This is exactly the help I need, how do I get started? 

The first step is to get together and determine which improvement projects are needed. We will counsel you on what we believe will lead to a faster, and more profitable, sale. We’ve sold homes for many years and have a lot of experience and knowledge as to what is needed, and what isn’t, when preparing a home for sale. 

Once you’ve decided on what services you need, we will help manage the projects from beginning to end, soliciting estimates for your review and approval, and scheduling the work at a time that is convenient for you. Project updates will be made available to you via text and email, and posted to an online portal so you’re fully aware of the work taking place. 

 

No fee, or interest charged for the use of the money? Really? 

That’s correct! There is no up-front fee, or cost to you for participating in the RealVitalize program. Coldwell Banker is billed for the services by the provider, and you pay back the same amount out of the proceeds at closing.

What can I use the money for? 

You can use the funds to do any non-structural work to the home that would help prepare it for sale. Some options are: 

  • Painting 
  • Staging 
  • Appliances Purchasing and Installation 
  • Kitchen and Bathroom Upgrades 
  • Carpentry 
  • Carpet Cleaning and Installation 
  • Cleaning 
  • Landscape and Curb Appeal Enhancements 
  • Drywall Repair 
  • Electrical Upgrades 
  • Plumbing 
  • Handyman Services 
  • Temporary Storage 

 

How much money is available to me? 

Up to 3% of your home’s estimated sales price, or a maximum of $50,000. So if your home is expected to sell for $500,000, you have $15,000 to work with. 

Smart upgrades to a home can help maximize the selling price and limit the amount of time on the market. This is true whether you’re selling your home in the Salt Lake City real estate market, or Park City market.
