Step 1
Pay at Closing covers approved upgrades—from paint, flooring, and landscaping to HVAC, a new roof, and new light fixtures—with no upfront payment from you. The actual approved costs are repaid from your proceeds at closing. No interest. No markup. No program fees.
✓ No upfront payment ✓ No interest or markup ✓ Written terms before anything begins ✓ Licensed Indiana Broker
Buyers decide in the first thirty seconds whether a home is worth their offer. Tired paint, worn floors, and an overgrown yard cost sellers real money at the negotiating table, and most agents' only answer is "price it lower." Mine is different.
✖ Put it on the MLS as-is
✖ Place a sign in the yard
✖ Wait, then drop the price
✖ Leave the upgrades to the buyer, and pay for them in the offer
✓ Walk the home together and build the list of upgrades that change how it shows and sells
✓ I fund the approved upgrades. You pay nothing upfront.
✓ Licensed crews handle it; you inspect and sign off
✓ Actual approved costs are repaid from your proceeds at closing
This program is for homes where the right upgrades change how the home shows and sells, and where the numbers support doing them. Not every home qualifies, and that's the point.
Dated or worn finishes. Paint that’s seen a decade. Floors that photograph badly. A roof or HVAC system a buyer will flag. A yard that needs attention. Homes where the right upgrades make the biggest difference.
Every home is different. If an upgrade improves how your home shows and sells, and the numbers support it, it can be reviewed for approval. If something doesn’t make sense for your home, I’ll tell you plainly.
For qualifying homes, my Pay at Closing program covers approved upgrades with no upfront payment. Actual approved costs are repaid from your proceeds at closing.
Not every home qualifies. Eligibility and written terms apply.
Every step is in writing before anything begins. You approve the scope, the budget, and every invoice.
Step 1
We walk the home, look at comparable sales, and run the numbers: what each upgrade costs and what it does to your net.
Step 2
You approve exactly which upgrades happen and the dollar cap. Nothing is added without your signature.
Step 3
I pay the licensed crews directly and manage the schedule so the home is ready for photos on time.
Step 4
Invoices are paid only after the upgrades are completed and you're satisfied.
Step 5
The actual approved costs come out of your proceeds on the settlement statement. No interest, markup, or fees.
You'll see three things before you sign anything: the approved upgrade list with each cost, the total cap, and a seller net sheet showing the repayment at closing. If the math doesn't make sense for your home, I'll say so.
No. The program is for homes listed with me where the right approved upgrades make a real difference in how it shows and sells. I'll tell you on the first visit whether yours fits.
The actual approved cost of the upgrades, repaid from your proceeds at closing. There is no interest, no markup on contractor invoices, and no program fee.
Approved costs remain repayable under the written agreement. We talk through that timing before anything begins, not after.
I bring licensed, insured crews I've used before. You approve the scope, you inspect the finished upgrades, and nothing gets paid until you sign off.
Yes. The review is about finding the upgrades that matter for your home, not a fixed package. Sometimes it's only paint and a yard cleanup; sometimes it's a roof.
I won't promise that. Presentation protects your price and widens your buyer pool, but the market decides the number. What you get is a home that shows at its best without an upfront bill.
