Novation Sale
Novation: We Renovate & Sell for You — You Get More
We fund the repairs and updates, sell your house at full retail price, and you collect an agreed amount that's usually far more than a cash offer — without spending a dollar.
- Best for:
- Houses that need work, when you want retail price without paying for the renovation
- Timeline:
- 60–120 days
- Proceeds:
- Typically well above any cash offer
A novation sale is the tool most sellers have never heard of — because most 'we buy houses' companies can't do it. You agree on your guaranteed number up front. We then fund and manage the renovation, list the home on the open market, and sell it at full retail price to an end buyer.
Why it wins: cash buyers must build in a renovation budget AND resale margin, so their offers sit well below market. With a novation, the retail sale price funds everything — which means we can guarantee you a number a cash buyer simply can't match.
It takes longer than a cash sale, and it's not right for every property. But if your house needs work, you have some flexibility on timing, and you want to squeeze every dollar out of it — this is often the single most profitable way to sell.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a novation sale cost me?
Nothing out of pocket. Renovation costs come from the final sale proceeds — your agreed number is guaranteed in writing before we spend a dollar.
What if the house sells for less than expected?
That's our risk, not yours. Your number is contractually guaranteed.
Why doesn't everyone offer this?
It requires renovation capital, contractor teams, and retail sales infrastructure. Typical cash-only investors have none of those — we run both sides of the business.
