Update Now, Pay at Closing Program: Revive Your Home, Sell for Top Dollar – No Upfront Costs
Are you ready to sell your home but worried about outdated features, necessary repairs, or the high costs of getting it market-ready? At Real Deal Construction and Real Deal Realty, we understand that many homeowners have valuable equity tied up in their property but lack the liquid cash for updates. That’s why we created the Update Now, Pay at Closing program – a seamless, stress-free solution that lets you update now and pay later, directly from your sale proceeds.
Here’s how it works: Our Real Deal team assesses your home and performs targeted updates to boost appeal and value (think fresh kitchens, modern bathrooms, curb appeal enhancements). Then, our partnered realty brokerage lists and sells your property at top market price. You don’t pay a dime upfront – our fees come out at closing, after you’ve secured those fast, premium offers. Clients typically net 20-40% more than selling “as-is,” with minimal hassle from day one to closing.
Whether your home needs minor cosmetic tweaks or more substantial updates, we’re here to maximize your profit and minimize your stress. Backed by our dual expertise in construction and real estate, this program is perfect for equity-rich sellers in disrepair dilemmas. Ready to transform and transact?

What Our Clients Are Saying
Our house was valued around $425,000 in its current condition, and honestly, it probably would’ve sat on the market forever if we’d just listed it as-is. Real Deal did about $35,000 worth of updates and fixes, and we listed it for $549,900, we accepted an offer we were happy with on the very first day. It was a huge relief.
My place really needed a new roof and a few other repairs, but I just didn’t have the cash on hand to cover it. The Update Now, Pay at Closing program from Real Deal was exactly what I needed. Todd walked me through a fair quote, I said yes, and they knocked everything out in just a few weeks. The house sold after only a couple of showings—no money out of my pocket upfront, and everything got paid from the sale proceeds right at closing. I’d recommend it to anyone wanting to sell quicker and for a better price.
We tried listing our home as-is at first, but it just sat there with almost no interest. Buyers kept saying it felt too outdated and they didn’t want a project. We couldn’t afford the updates ourselves, so Real Deal stepped in with a plan to refresh the key areas without us paying anything upfront. They handled everything smoothly, and once the work was done, we had a solid offer within days. It made all the difference.
