Before you sell

Ask one question.

Am I leaving money on the table?

Every homeowner deserves to understand all of their options before making one of life's biggest financial decisions.

Why people sell

Sometimes selling today is exactly the right decision.

01

You need the equity.

Your next purchase, a move, or a change in life may require access to your home's value now.

02

You don't want construction.

A major renovation takes capital, time, decisions, oversight, and tolerance for disruption.

03

You're ready for the next chapter.

Sometimes simplicity and certainty matter more than trying to capture every possible dollar.

But what if selling today

isn't your only option?

02

A different path

Keep ownership. Let us create the value.

Some homeowners have the flexibility to keep their equity in place a little longer but do not want to fund or manage a renovation themselves.

In the right situation, RunForTheHills can provide the renovation capital, oversee design and construction, prepare the home for market, and share the additional value created according to a written agreement.

We do not believe every homeowner should renovate. We believe every homeowner should understand the option.

Your decision

Two paths. One informed choice.

01

Meet for Coffee

We start with your goals, timing, financial needs, and what matters most to your family.

02

Understand Your Options

We review the home, today's value, renovation potential, likely costs, and realistic outcomes.

Path A

Sell Today

Choose a straightforward sale, receive your equity, and move forward on a timeline that fits your life.

  • Simple transaction
  • Practical closing timeline
  • No renovation responsibility

Path B

Create More Value Together

Maintain ownership while we provide the capital and project management needed to transform and market the home.

  • You retain ownership during renovation
  • We fund and manage the work
  • Remaining profit is shared as agreed
03

Move Forward With Confidence

Whichever path you choose, the decision is based on information—not pressure.

If partnership is the right path

How sale proceeds are generally handled.

1

Your agreed pre-renovation value

You receive the value established for the home before construction.

2

Invested capital is returned

Documented renovation capital and agreed project costs are reimbursed.

3

Transaction costs are paid

Agreed closing and sale-related expenses are deducted.

4

The remaining amount is shared

The balance is distributed according to the written partnership agreement.

Every property and homeowner situation is unique. Partnership opportunities depend on the property, market conditions, renovation scope, financing, and a mutually agreed written contract. No increase in value, sale price, or profit is guaranteed.

Let's start with your circumstances—not an offer.
