4. Renos for Revenue Program

Information about the Renos for Revenue pre-sale renovation program is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial, investment, or legal advice. All program details, including the Renos for Revenue Triple Guarantee (covering performance, timeline, and budget commitments), renovation scope, timelines, and projected outcomes, are subject to the terms of a written engagement agreement between you and Hinchey Homes. The separate Hinchey Homes Guarantee (a 1% commission reduction for any service dissatisfaction, with 48-hour resolution) applies to all listing agreements and is independent of the Renos for Revenue program.

Industry statistics cited on the Renos for Revenue pages (including data from Curbio, Revive Real Estate, the National Association of Realtors, and the Real Estate Staging Association) are third-party research. Hinchey Homes does not guarantee that your specific project will achieve similar returns. Actual results depend on your property, your market, and the scope of work agreed upon.

Per-project financials (renovation costs, sale prices, and profit figures) are discussed in person and in writing before any agreement is signed. No financial details published on this website should be interpreted as a guarantee of your specific outcome.

5. AI Chat Assistant

This website features an AI-powered chat assistant (“Hank”) that can answer general questions about Hinchey Homes, our services, and our process. The chat assistant is powered by the Claude API (Anthropic) and is not a licensed real estate professional.

Responses from the chat assistant are for informational purposes only and do not constitute real estate, financial, legal, or tax advice. The assistant does not have access to live MLS data, current property values, or your personal financial situation. For specific guidance about your home, property, or transaction, please speak directly with a member of our team.
