Pre-Sale Renovation in Metro Vancouver

Usually yes, selectively. Targeted pre-sale work, led by kitchen updates that recoup 75 to 95 percent of cost and ensuite renovations that can return more than they cost, helps homes sell faster and reduces price negotiation. The key is scoping only what the market pays for, which is exactly what our pre-sale package does.

Kitchens, primary ensuites, paint, lighting, and flooring, in that order. In the Vancouver market, kitchen updates recoup roughly 75 to 95 percent of cost and an ensuite renovation can add $40,000 to $80,000 in value. Big structural additions rarely pay back in a pre-sale timeframe.

Most pre-sale packages complete in 3 to 8 weeks depending on scope. We build the schedule backward from your target listing date and prioritize work with the highest value-per-day, so the home is photo-ready on time. Trade availability is the main constraint, so involve us as early as possible.

Yes, realtor partnerships are core to our pre-sale service. We scope with the listing agent so the renovation targets what buyers in that neighbourhood pay for, coordinate timelines to the listing date, and can structure invoicing to suit the sale. Realtors can book a walkthrough consultation for their clients directly.

No fixed minimum, but pre-sale packages typically start around the cost of a focused kitchen-and-paint scope. In a consultation we identify which two or three improvements return the most for your specific home and budget, and we will tell you honestly if doing nothing is the better financial choice.
