Renos for Revenue is a pay-at-closing pre-sale renovation program. Hinchey Homes funds and manages the renovation. You pay nothing until your home sells.
Renos for Revenue is a pre-sale renovation program operated by Hinchey Homes Real Estate Team in Durham Region, Ontario. It is a pay-at-closing renovation program. Hinchey Homes funds the entire renovation, manages all contractors and timelines, stages the home, and markets it. The homeowner pays zero upfront and writes no cheques during the build. There is no renovation premium added to the standard real estate commission. The renovation cost is repaid out of sale proceeds at closing.
What does the program include?
The program covers the full scope of pre-sale renovation: kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, paint, lighting, fixtures, landscaping, curb appeal, and anything else the assessment identifies as high-return work. Hinchey Homes also manages professional staging, photography, video, 3D tours, and the entire marketing campaign. Media and advertising are coordinated alongside the renovation.
What kind of returns does it generate?
There is no fixed return. Review the proposed renovation and selling costs against local comparable homes before deciding to proceed.
How do I qualify?
Any homeowner in Durham Region selling a home that would benefit from renovation before listing can apply. The program is particularly suited for estate executors, downsizers, and homeowners with deferred maintenance. There is no income requirement and no credit check. The only requirement is that the property is listed with Hinchey Homes. Call 905-449-4422 for a free assessment.
