Get your home ready to sell. Pay at closing.
From the repairs holding you back to the improvements that help your home stand out, we bring property-management insight and hands-on construction together. Start with a free property-readiness assessment. Eligible pre-sale projects can move forward with no upfront cost and payment through escrow at closing. Subject to project approval and a written agreement; deferred-payment fees, carrying charges and payment deadlines may apply.
Pre-Sale Home Repairs in Portland & Southwest Washington
You do not have to figure out every repair or coordinate the entire renovation alone. We combine general contracting experience with Corner Image Properties' property-management background to help you understand visible repair needs, choose practical improvements and get the work done. Whether you are preparing to list, responding to a buyer's inspection report or getting a rental ready, we help turn a long to-do list into a clear plan. Improvements can support buyer appeal; sale price, timing and return are not guaranteed.
The Escrow Timeline
Consultation
We visit your property to identify high-impact repairs and discuss the Sell-Ready escrow agreement.
Work Begins
We protect the property and complete the approved repairs and renovations. Eligible projects have no upfront cost, subject to the written payment terms and deadlines. Changes are discussed and approved in writing.
Listing
Your home goes on the market with its new flooring, paint, and repairs, ready to attract the right buyer.
Closing
When the sale closes, construction costs are paid directly through escrow out of the sale proceeds.
Trusted introductions. No referral commissions. If you need a real estate professional, we can introduce people we know and trust. Corner Image Properties does not accept commissions, referral fees or reimbursement for recommending real estate professionals. You choose your agent. Sales representation is handled separately by licensed real estate professionals; our role is to prepare and improve the property. We can also work with the agent you already have.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the pay-at-closing model work?
Eligible projects are completed with zero upfront costs to the homeowner. Payment for all labor and materials is settled directly through escrow at the time of closing when your home sells.
What types of renovations qualify for this program?
We focus on high-impact renovations that increase market value, including new flooring, fresh interior and exterior painting, kitchen and bath refreshes, and essential structural or system repairs.
Do I need to have a listing agent to participate?
You keep your choice of real estate professional. We can work with your existing agent or introduce one if needed. Your written project agreement defines the listing and escrow requirements.
What if my home doesn't sell within a certain timeframe?
Our written agreement clearly outlines all timelines and terms. While our goal is a quick sale, we include provisions for various market scenarios to protect both the homeowner and our team.
Are there hidden fees for the deferred payment?
Deferred-payment fees, carrying charges and a final payment deadline may apply. Your written agreement explains the full terms, including what happens if the sale is delayed, canceled or the property is taken off the market. All terms are agreed before work begins.
Is this a certified home inspection?
This is a contractor/property-readiness assessment, not a certified home inspection or appraisal. We can review an independent inspection report and recommend specialist evaluation where needed.
