DID YOU KNOW
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:
1. Kitchen Upgrades
2. Bathroom Upgrades
3. Updated HVAC, Plumbing or Electrical
4. New Appliances
5. Updated Interior or Exterior Paint
**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 2,037 adults ages 18+, among whom 1,335 are homeowners and 432 sold a home in the past 3 years. This online survey is not based on a probability sample and therefore no estimate of theoretical sampling error can be calculated.

FAQ'S
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.
