Here is how the research above plays out on a real home. Start with a dated Durham Region home worth $600,000 as-is. Invest $100,000 in a strategic pre-sale renovation, funded by us.
Across our own program, clients average 80% profit on the renovation cost we put in. The math below shows how that plays out on a $600,000 Durham home with a $100,000 renovation - landing the seller well ahead of an as-is list.
This is an illustrative example aligned to the Revive average. Actual results vary by home, location, scope, and market conditions. Full per-home math is shared at your free in-home assessment.

This Oshawa home was livable but dated. We gave the seller two options: list as-is at $600,000, or use Renos for Revenue, where the Hinchey Homes Real Estate Team funds and manages the pre-listing renovation with nothing paid upfront and the cost recovered at closing. She chose Renos for Revenue. 10 days later her home sold for $682,500. Watch her reaction.

Curious what your home could do?
See what your home could doRenos for Revenue was built for the moments when selling a home is the hardest part of what you are going through. Estate executors. Downsizers. Separating couples. Long-time owners who quietly know their home is dated and are not sure where to start. If one of these sounds like you, keep going, this was built for you.
For executors and adult children
An empty house. Original kitchen. Siblings watching. A lawyer asking what you want to do. Selling as-is to an investor leaves money on the table, but you can't fund or manage a renovation while grieving and settling an estate. We can. The proceeds cover everything at closing, so the estate ends up where it should: maximized.
For downsizers and seniors transitioning
You've raised a family in this house. You know it needs work to sell well, but you're not about to live through a renovation, hire trades on a fixed income, or watch contractors come and go. We move in after you move out, transform the home, and hand the keys to the next family, funded entirely from the sale.
For separating couples
This is one of the hardest seasons life hands anyone. The house is full of years of memories, and it still has to be sold so two futures can begin. We treat that weight with the care it deserves. Renos for Revenue means neither of you puts another dollar in, neither of you manages a contractor, and the property becomes our responsibility so the two of you can focus on your families, your lawyers, and yourselves. When the keys change hands, both sides walk away with the most the home could possibly offer toward whatever comes next.
For long-term owners
You've owned the home for fifteen, twenty, thirty years. You've done some updates over time but you suspect you'd be leaving real money on the table if you listed it as-is. Let us walk through it for free and tell you the truth, and if it's worth doing, we'll handle the entire renovation at zero upfront cost.
Executors, downsizers, and long-time owners who handed us the keys to a dated property and walked away from a sold sign weeks later. Collectively, our Renos for Revenue clients have netted millions of dollars more than they would have by listing as-is.

We Only Renovate to Win
We don’t take on a Renos for Revenue project unless we’re confident it will turn a real profit for you. Every home gets a deep dive into local comps, recent sold prices, buyer demand, and the specific upgrades your neighbourhood actually rewards. If the math doesn’t work, we tell you straight and recommend a different path. When we say yes, it’s because the research says you’re going to profit from every dollar we spend.
Note: Hinchey Homes does not publish individual project financials on its website. The math behind your specific home is shared in person, in writing, before you sign anything.
The entire Renos for Revenue process from first conversation to closing. Each step is owned end-to-end by our team. You approve the key decisions and sign at the end. We handle the rest.
01
Shawn walks through your home, studies the local comps, and tells you the truth about what your home is worth today versus what it could be worth with the right improvements. No cost, no obligation.
02
We build a detailed scope of work based on what your neighbourhood actually rewards. Every upgrade is chosen to maximize your net, not just to look good. You approve the plan before anything starts.
03
We hire, schedule, and oversee every trade. You don't manage a single contractor, attend a single meeting, or lift a single finger. Quality control at every stage, weekly updates, and a guaranteed timeline.
04
Zero dollars out of your pocket. We cover all renovation costs upfront and collect payment only at closing, from the proceeds of your sale. Interest-free.
05
Once the renovation is complete, we bring in our full marketing team: professional staging, cleaning, photography, videography, 3D Matterport tours, drone, and targeted Google and Meta ad campaigns. Shawn personally negotiates every offer.

“They transformed my outdated spaces into modern, inviting areas that truly showcased the potential of the property. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality were exceptional. Ultimately selling my home for well over the asking price.”
Greg B.· Renos for Revenue Client
“The Hinchey team took on every aspect of this reno from working with us on design ideas and then handling the entire project management. Once the house was ready, we turned it over to the Hinchey Marketing Machine which listed and sold the house in less than a week. We were certainly put into a more profitable position.”
Daniel R.· Renos for Revenue Client
“The manner in which Hinchey Homes prepared and presented our home made us remember why we fell in love with our house... leading to multiple offers and a great sales price.”
Parisa O.· Renos for Revenue Client
