Chris earns the commission.
You gain the profit.
A short, collaborative effort to optimize your home's position in the market — in days, not months.
You've heard the "we buy houses for cash" pitch — where a flipper or wholesaler takes a big piece of the pie. This is the best of both worlds: Chris manages the work, your home is repositioned from as-is to the top of its market, and no investor takes a cut. Why share the profits with a third party when you can keep them yourself? Below are real projects with real budgets, real timelines, and real closing prices.
The Howerton Transformation
From “as-is” to $110,000 over expectations
The Situation
Alma and her husband were ready to play it safe: list their Fairfax home as-is for $850,000 and hope it sold. But something didn't sit right. They couldn't sleep. They called the next morning: “Chris, we've rethought everything. We want to go with your plan.” So they handed over the keys.
The Strategy
Remove a wall to create an open-concept kitchen and dining area. Paint the entire home — including textured ceilings and paneling. New LVP and carpet. New LED recessed and fixture lighting. Roof soft wash, door hardware, faucets, and curb-appeal upgrades.
The Execution
A full project-managed prep, executed by Chris's trusted contractors in just 12 days — and the home passed its pre-listing inspection with zero issues. Total project cost: $17,435, tallied to the dollar.
The Result
5 offers. 2 all-cash, non-contingent. 6 days on market. Closed in 2 weeks at $960,000 — $110,000 higher than the other agent said was possible.
“Chris, you made me fall in love with my home all over again.”

What could strategic prep add to your sale price?
Modeled on Chris's documented projects: $17.4K returned $110K at Howerton. $11.5K returned $107K over the neighborhood average on Werthers Court. $44.7K returned $115K over the as-is appraisal at Lone Oak.

You will always know what we are doing, why we are doing it, and what it is expected to achieve. This is not about spending money on your home — it is about investing strategically to attract stronger buyers, create competition, and maximize your final sale price. There are always many factors in any sale; what these projects show is experience reading the market, and optimizing it to your advantage.
What could this look like for your home?
Every home is different. Chris will walk your property and outline what to update, what to leave alone, estimated cost ranges, and the potential impact on your final sale price.
