Hinchey Homes operates Renos for Revenue, a pay-at-closing pre-sale renovation program. They fund and manage everything. You pay from the proceeds at closing.

Pay-at-closing renovation funding lets a homeowner consider preparation work without paying the renovation cost before listing.

How does Renos for Revenue work?

Step one: Shawn Hinchey walks the property and identifies which renovations will generate the highest return. Step two: the team creates a renovation plan with transparent, itemized costs. Step three: Hinchey Homes funds the renovation and manages all contractors. Step four: the home is professionally staged, photographed, and marketed. Step five: the home sells, and the renovation cost is paid from the proceeds at closing.

The homeowner never writes a cheque during the build. Renos for Revenue is its own seller package, and its rate is given in writing at the free strategy meeting, before you sign anything. The renovation cost itself is repaid out of sale proceeds at closing.

Who is Renos for Revenue designed for?

The program is ideal for estate executors selling inherited homes that need updating, downsizers with properties they have owned for 20 to 30 years, separating couples whose matrimonial home needs work before sale, and any homeowner who knows their home would sell for more if renovated but cannot fund or manage the work themselves.

Where is Renos for Revenue available?

Renos for Revenue is available across all of Durham Region including Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax, Pickering, Clarington, Bowmanville, Brooklin, Port Perry, and Uxbridge. Contact Shawn Hinchey at 905-449-4422 or visit hincheyhomes.com/renos-for-revenue to book a free in-home assessment.
