REX, the technology company connecting real estate buyers and sellers online, announced the expansion of Home Prep, a program which works with homeowners looking to list their property and covers interest-free home improvement costs. The program was successfully piloted in Southern California during the COVID-19 pandemic, with new plans to launch in select Texas, Northern California, and Florida markets soon.
How It Works
Sellers now have enhanced ability to present their listing in its best light. Interested sellers will follow a series of steps to prepare their home for listing:
The Importance of Home Prep
What Others Have Said
“The Home Prep pilot program is an exciting step; it makes the home selling process with REX that much easier and more robust. We’re empowering home sellers to repair, stage, and prepare their home as needed — in ways both big and small — to boost their listing on the market, and expedite the transaction” said Lynley Sides, Co-Founder, COO and President of REX.
“From an operations perspective, Home Prep is a smart next step in our home selling process. REX and our trusted partnerships with staging, repair, and home services companies will deliver exactly what our sellers need, and Home Prep’s increased affordability will benefit REX sellers, home buyers, and REX,” said Allison Park, a Sales and Business Operations Manager at REX.
“The REX Home Prep program is really helpful. It is great for small upgrade projects to enhance the house value and also it is advantageous to have the cost deducted from the sale [with] no upfront cost,” said Arete Shen, a Home Prep customer from Pasadena, CA.
“REX upfronting the costs was a big factor, I otherwise wouldn’t have done the work in my front yard. I went from average to really really nice. It brings more security and confidence to know that this home is not going to be on the market for a long time. I’m so happy with it,” said Shane Mussey, a Home Prep customer from Thousand Oaks, CA.
