I got tired of watching sellers leave money on the table that was already theirs.
So I built up a team, built the contractor network, and created Sell Ready by Jake Maines.
A program that gets your home sold for what it is actually worth — without you writing a check or managing a single contractor.
Every home that needs work pays a price for it.
The only question is how much.
We Paid For Her Renovations. She Made An Extra $35,000.
Her home needed $15,000 in updates. We covered every dollar and managed every contractor. She paid nothing until closing.
The home sold for $50,000 more than it would have as-is.
She walked away with $35,000 extra.
She just showed up to closing with a bigger check.
No money out of pocket. No contractors to manage. Just a bigger check at closing.

The goal is never to over-improve. It is to close the gap between what buyers will offer and what your home is actually worth.
Light Refresh — 1 to 2 weeks
Pressure wash, fresh mulch, paint touch-ups, hardware swaps, light fixtures, curb appeal.
Strategic Updates — 3 to 6 weeks
Flooring replacement, full interior paint, cabinet refinishing, countertop upgrades, cosmetic bathroom updates.
Full Prep — as needed
Kitchen renovations, full bathroom remodels, roofing, structural repairs when the numbers make sense.
Whatever your home needs, we identify it, fund it, and manage it. You pay at closing.
Hampton Roads homes my team has prepared for sale through Sell Ready.
But Jake...
"My home doesn’t need that much work."
Some of our strongest results come from homes that just needed cosmetic attention.
"I don’t have time for a renovation."
You do not have to do a thing. We manage it start to finish.
"I’m not sure the numbers will work."
That is what the free valuation is for. Jake looks at your specific home and gives you an honest answer.
"I’m already working with an agent."
Sell Ready is a program, not a listing agreement. If your current agent is not offering something like this, that conversation is worth having before your home hits the market.
Your home is probably worth more than buyers will offer.
