Realtor bring solutions to get property market ready

[Pam Pitts]

Good Morning-

I'd like to pick the brains of the experts! 

The problem:  Jane Doe wants to sell but doesn't have the money to pay for new carpet/paint/gutter repair...  

Solution: Realtor providing repair solutions(or market ready solutions) for sellers by fronting funds or bringing in a crew to do the work. Realtor is "paid back" at closing...plus typical commission. 

Win/Win : Agent gets listing/Jane sells house ... hopefully agent also helps Jane on the buyer side later on... 

*** obviously there has to be equity in the home or this isn't going to work. 

Has anyone ever done this?
