Renovation Sells: Cosmetic Pre-Sale Renovation for Faster, Higher-Priced Home Sales
Renovation Sells is America’s leading pre-sale home renovation franchise, specializing in quick, affordable cosmetic updates that help homes sell faster and for more money. From cabinet painting and countertop upgrades to lighting enhancements and wall painting, we deliver Instagram-ready transformations designed to captivate today’s modern home buyers.
Unlike traditional remodelers, Renovation Sells does not perform structural work. Our unique model partners directly with real estate agents — not homeowners — to plan and execute design-focused renovations that highlight buyer preferences. It’s a high-demand, niche service that bridges real estate and home improvement, creating a scalable and profitable business with repeat referral potential.

Owner's role is multi-faceted. There are no employees needed in the business. The franchisee will hire sub-contractors to do the remodeling work, and their role is to manage the subs to ensure that the work is done correctly, and on time and on budget. They will also be active in their communities calling on real estate agents and other referral sources, so we need candidates that have strong networking and communication skills. They should also have good project management skills and be good generalists and be able to move from one business discipline to another seamlessly.
IDEAL CANDIDATE
Our ideal candidate will be a good networker, well connected in their community, enjoy real estate and design and have strong management & leadership skills as well as the ability to delegate and manage teams and produce results through others, ie: manage sub-contractors that do the remodeling work on the homes.
