Before & After

Summary

After nearly 20 years in her Buena Park home, the seller was ready for a fresh start in New Mexico. The house, built in 1957, had good bones and updated plumbing—but cosmetically, it hadn’t been touched in decades. Nelida Mora, was working with the seller on their the listing and teamed up with Property Advisor Jon Salas and Revive to help the homeowner prepare for an October sale without overdoing the updates.

A strategic $122,513 renovation focused on cleaning up and modernizing—fresh paint, new flooring, lighting, curb appeal, and updates to the kitchen and primary bathroom. It was just enough to stand out in a modest neighborhood without pushing beyond what the market could bear. The result: a clean, inviting home that sold for $960,000—netting the seller an $87,487 profit and boosting Nelida’s commission by 28%. A simple, efficient project that helped the homeowner start their next chapter on the right foot.
