Before & After

Summary

At 10190 Drumcliff Ave in San Diego, CA, Property Advisor Luke Gutierrez and agent Jon Kennedy of HomeSmart Realty West took on a renovation project with a personal touch. The homeowners were preparing for retirement, planning to downsize and move out of state, but needed to sell their vacant property first. After the agent had seen Revive’s success on a renovation in Poway, he recommended his sister bring them in to revamp her home. The home was valued as is for $800,000, and underwent a $233,417 renovation, fronted in full by Revive, that prioritized the highest return on investment improvements. The updates included new flooring, baseboards, and trim, which gave the home a fresh feel, while interior and exterior painting brightened up the entire space. The kitchen and bathrooms were completely remodeled to modernize the look, and lighting enhancements helped create a welcoming atmosphere. Softscape improvements and new doors rounded out the upgrades, giving the property a polished finish.

The results spoke for themselves. The house sold for $1,160,000—an impressive $360,000 above its initial value—yielding a $126,583 net profit for the seller and a 54% return on investment. Jon also enjoyed a 45% increase in commission, a nice added perk. But this project wasn’t just about increasing the property’s worth—it was about helping a family smoothly transition into the next phase of their lives, all while presenting a home that made a lasting impression on the market.
