Say you want to sell your home, which you’ve lived in for the past 30 years. You think it looks great, but after a real estate agent stops by and chimes in, you get a rude awakening.

Apparently, the abundant doilies, giant draped windows, pink garage door, and outdated bathrooms and kitchen aren’t as fashionable as you thought.

You’re told the home you expected to list for $650,000 is better off being listed for $549,000. Ouch.

So do you chance it and defy the real estate agent’s best intentions and list for more, only for the property to stagnate on the market?

Or do you do as they say, lower the price, and then hope it sells, despite the many improvements needed?

Both scenarios probably don’t sound very appealing to the seller, and even if a buyer comes along, there’s a good chance there will be repair requests to get across the finish line.

This situation is all too common, and perhaps one of the reasons why iBuyers like RedfinNow and Zillow Offers have surged in popularity over the past few years.

The sell “as-is” thing worked when the housing market was on the up and up, but now that price gains have moderated, home buyers are looking for a better product.

And it just so happens that many properties going to market are like the aforementioned, in need of some serious TLC after years of neglect.

While an iBuyer will purchase your home as-is, they won’t do so at a premium. On the contrary, they’ll likely give you a lowball offer AND charge fees for repairs and so on.

Ultimately, none of these options are great solutions for the savvy home seller looking to capture maximum value for their property.

That’s where R Douglas Designs comes in.

In a nutshell, we make renovations easier and more accessible for home sellers looking to boost their property’s value before listing it.

R Douglas Designs is comprised of licensed and insured general contractors in each of the markets they do business in, who also have connections to a network of vetted subcontractors.

Additionally, we have a team of experienced real estate agents, house flippers, and designers who know how to get maximum ROI on renovations.

So instead of accepting a lowball offer, only to see your home flipped months later by a savvy investor, we help you flip your own home thus increasing the return on your investment.

How The Program Works

Assuming your home is located in one of our service areas, which currently includes Southern Nevada and San Diego County, CA, you can request an estimate on our website.

After submitting your property details, R Douglas Designs will provide you with a free estimate of proposed renovations to make your property more marketable, and importantly, more valuable.

The extent of the work will vary based on your home’s needs, but can range from kitchen and bathroom remodels to roof repairs, flooring and HVAC replacement, mold remediation, and more.

However, it should be noted that there is a $15,000 minimum project size.

Once the work begins, you’ll have a full-time general contractor who manages the project, along with an on-the-ground project manager to oversee the renovation work.

What If My Home Doesn't Sell After You Make The Improvements?

Seller must agree to leave the home on the market until it sells
Seller also must agree with a 2% price reduction every 30 days if not sold during that time
You can also pay R Douglas Designs directly for their work if you want to end the deal

While R Douglas Designs has the marketing and sales team in place to ensure that properties do sell in a timely manner, R Douglas Designs will wait as long as it takes to get paid with no additional fees or interest charges.
