Your cost will vary based on the size and condition of your home as well as the services you choose. HOMEstretch projects tend to fall in the range of $2,000 to $30,000, with an average cost of $8,000 for a typical job. Remember that there are no upfront costs for homeowners for HOMEstretch services. Fees for the services we provide are deducted from your total sales proceeds at closing.

Yes. When you meet with a HOMEstretch representative, you’ll learn more about our services and have the opportunity to choose which would be most beneficial. Your consultation, which is free of charge, allows you to tap into the deep market knowledge of our representatives who are experienced with guiding homeowners through stressful situations.

Yes. We want to be a trusted vendor and partner to real estate agents, but we have no financial relationships with agents. Realtors appreciate our ability to do quality work quickly. They also trust HOMEstretch to expertly guide homeowners in choosing the best improvements to make.

The timeline depends on the level of services required, but, on average, we need just five to seven working days to have a house ready to list.

We work with Notable to finance the home improvements, up to $75,000. At closing, any funds spent on the project through HOMEstretch are deducted by the title company as a line item on your closing statement.

Generally, we only perform handyman tasks when they are accompanied by our core services (painting, flooring or clear outs). We focus on cosmetic improvements that help increase the appeal of your home, like light fixture swaps, hanging new mirrors or baseboard repair.

No, we specialize in home prep. That’s the essential step before staging. We handle the big improvements like walls and floors, which gives the stager a clean, neutral canvas.

Today’s first-time homebuyers often don't want to take on projects; they want to move in, hang up a TV and feel at home immediately. Neutralized homes sell best because they allow buyers to imagine themselves in the space. By focusing on walls, ceilings and floors — which make up 90 percent of what a buyer sees — we help you maximize your sale price and reduce time on the market.

Absolutely. We take the guesswork out of the process by offering clear, confident recommendations based on what is currently working in the market. We have curated color palettes in our HOMEstretch Color Book based on fresh, neutral designs that appeal to a wide range of buyers. Our flooring tiers also match your home’s specific price point and style.

Yes, we frequently work with live-in clients. We make it a priority to walk you through exactly what to expect each step of the way to minimize stress. For live-in situations, we can work with you on a project plan to get the project done quickly without overwhelming your daily life.
