The Problem

Why Good Deals Fall Apart

A home inspection or appraisal comes back with needed repairs — roof, HVAC, electrical, windows, siding, or other work.

Suddenly the deal is at risk.

Traditional renovation loans, like a full 203(k), often require a contractor, formal bids, and longer timelines. That extra friction can kill momentum, scare the buyer, or push the closing date past what's realistic.

You need a faster, cleaner way to document the work and the cost — so the loan can still close.

How It Works

Simple Process. Fast Results.

Move from a repair finding to lender-ready documentation in four connected steps.

  1. 01Choose your coverage

    Order

    Choose Interior ($499) or Whole House ($599), enter the property address, and upload any inspection or appraisal documents.

  2. 02Capture the property

    Walk the Property

    Use the simplified Makeover Estimator room by room. Take 4 photos and scan each space. Whole House orders use HOVER for applicable exterior measurements when needed.

  3. 03Send it securely

    Submit

    Click Finish. The property information, photos, measurements, and supporting documents are sent directly to the Makeover team.

  4. 04Keep the deal moving

    Get Your Scope

    Within 24 business hours, receive a room-by-room, line-by-line scope with pricing, recommended reserves, and lender-oriented formatting.

Who It's For

Built for Anyone Trying to Save the Deal

01

Realtors

Why Refresher

Faster Than Traditional Renovation Loans

A full 203(k) often requires selecting a contractor, collecting formal bids, and navigating a longer validation process before closing. That extra time can put the entire deal at risk.

You get the documentation you need to keep the deal alive — without the traditional renovation loan timeline.

Lenders, realtors, buyers, or homeowners. Anyone trying to keep the deal moving can place the order.
