Your RealVitalize budget is set equivalent to your listing agent's commission rate, with a program maximum set by the brokerage.
What features are the must-haves from the eye of the buyer? A recent survey** conducted by The Harris Poll with homeowners in the United States shows the top desired features for buyers goes as follows:
**Survey Methodology: This survey was conducted online within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of the Coldwell Banker brand between June 22-24, 2021 among 2,0 adults ages 18+, among whom 1,335 are homeowners and 43 sold a home in the past 3 years. This online survey is not bas on a probability sample and therefore no estimate of theoreti sampling error can be calculated.
"Through RealVitalize, my agent brought in an exceptionally capable contractor and other tradespeople who, under her direction, quickly transformed the condo from ragged to beautiful! It was so stunning that we had a full price offer before the listing even displayed on MLS."
— LISA L., HAWAII
You will repay the RealVitalize program the exact amount that was spent on Angi service providers' work - no interest or fees. It will be deducted from the equity of your home at closing. However, if the listing agreement expires or is canceled, if there is not enough equity in the home sale to cover the RealVitalize costs, or 12 months elapse from the date of first RealVitalize project completion, you will be responsible for paying back the RealVitalize program.
To get your home show-ready, RealVitalize partners with Angi -whose powerful network of qualified service professionals work across 500+ service categories in your local market. Only their top-rated vendors are sourced for RealVitalize clients, and they come with a "Happiness Guarantee": If you're not happy with the quality of work done, Angi will make it right at no additional cost to you.
Since the maximum amount of capital fronted to you is equivalent to your listing agent's commission rate, you can increase their commission rate in order to raise your budget (subject to program maximum set by the brokerage). Alternately, you can pay for the overage out of pocket directly to Angi, before the start of the project.

"We are heroes with the neighbors in this condo building.
When the unit was originally listed and did not sell, we didn't lower the price, which would have resulted in a very unfavorable comparable that the neighbors would have been trying to explain away for years to come.
Instead, we sold it for a premium, which helps the resale value for other properties in the building."
