Fireplace enhancements, baseboard & trim, chimney repair, and bathroom remodel.

Agent Michael Baldasarra had successfully partnered with Revive on past listings and knew firsthand how strategic pre-sale renovations could help homeowners maximize their returns. So when his clients, Walter and Roberta H., decided to sell their Alameda home, Michael saw another opportunity to elevate the property’s value before bringing it to market. Although the home was already in great condition and had recently received fresh interior paint, Michael recognized there was still untapped potential to create an even more desirable listing in the competitive Bay Area market. Partnering with Revive, the team focused on a handful of strategic upgrades designed to deliver the greatest return without requiring a full-scale remodel. One of the key improvements included a complete bathroom renovation that helped modernize the home and further enhance buyer appeal.

The targeted renovations helped position the property more competitively in the market and increased the home’s overall value. Through a few thoughtful upgrades, Walter and Roberta were able to sell their home for $70,000 more than its original pre-renovation value, demonstrating how even modest pre-sale improvements can create meaningful financial gains for homeowners.
