The no upfront cost model

How does paying at closing actually work?

SODL Boost funds all renovation costs upfront. When your home sells, the total renovation amount is deducted directly from your proceeds at the closing table — before the check is cut to you. There is no interest charged, no monthly payments while you're listed, and no hidden fees.

If your home doesn't sell or you cancel the listing, equal monthly payments begin over a 12-month period. Financing options are also available through a third-party lending partner.

1

Before listing

SODL funds 100% of renovation costs — you pay nothing out of pocket

2

While listed

No monthly payments. No interest accruing. Your home is on the market.

3

At closing

Renovation costs are deducted from your proceeds. That's it.

FAQ

Common questions about SODL Boost

Everything you need to know before getting started. Still have questions? Contact us at Support@SODL.com.

What types of projects do you take on?

We handle it all — so you don't have to. Nearly every home can benefit from some level of improvement before hitting the market. From essential repairs to impactful upgrades, we do it all: painting, deep cleaning, kitchen remodels, basement finishes, new flooring, landscaping, junk removal, roof replacements, siding updates, and more. Our focus is always on the projects that will make the biggest difference in your home's presentation and sale price.

How long do renovations take?

Most projects are completed within 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the scope of work. We prioritize speed and efficiency to get your home on the market as quickly as possible. You'll stay informed every step of the way with timeline updates through our software system. Please note that timelines may shift depending on the materials selected and any unexpected delivery delays.

Who does the renovation work?

SODL Boost works with a trusted network of subcontractors, tradespeople, and project managers to complete every project. We carefully vet and oversee all professionals involved to ensure consistent quality, accountability, and peace of mind.

What happens if I cancel the listing or it doesn't sell?

We get it — life happens. If you cancel or the listing expires, you'll begin making equal monthly payments over a 12-month period for the renovation costs. We also offer financing options if you need more flexibility. SODL reserves the right not to relist the property if the original listing failed due to unrealistic pricing and the homeowner chooses not to adjust the price accordingly.

Can I choose what gets renovated?

Absolutely. We collaborate with you to prioritize the projects that make the most sense based on your goals, timeline, and budget. We provide expert recommendations, but you make the final decisions.

How is SODL Boost different from hiring a contractor?

With SODL Boost, you don't pay anything until closing, and we manage the entire process from start to finish. As a licensed contracting company, we provide professional oversight with no upfront costs, no chasing quotes, and no managing crews — just a smoother path to a more profitable sale.

Do I need to move out during the renovation?

It depends on the scope of the project. For general maintenance, flooring, or bathroom updates, most homeowners can comfortably remain in the home. For kitchen remodels or major overhauls, it's usually best to temporarily move out. Most homes don't require major renovations — just the right updates to make a strong market impression.

How long after the boost is completed do I have to list my home?

We ask that homeowners list within two weeks of the project's completion. This ensures your property hits the market while the improvements are fresh and aligned with current selling conditions.

Do I have to list my house after the renovations are complete?

No — we get it. Sometimes a great renovation is all it takes to fall back in love with your home. If you decide not to list within two weeks of completion, you'll begin making equal monthly payments over a one-year period to repay the renovation costs. You can also apply for financing through our third-party lending partner if you need additional flexibility.

Is the renovation price locked in?

Yes. Once both parties electronically sign the contract, the renovation price is locked in. It only changes if the homeowner adds or removes services, or if an unexpected issue is discovered during renovation — in which case a Change Order must be signed by both parties.

Do I have to use SODL to list my home after the renovations?

No. You're free to list your home with any brokerage of your choice. That said, SODL offers a full-service listing for just $3,000 — a flat fee that helps you keep more of your profits when your home sells.

Is SODL Boost more expensive than other contractors?

Not at all. We remain competitive with other contractors in the market, especially when you factor in the convenience, project management, and zero upfront costs we provide. Our goal is to maximize your home's value and streamline the process — not to overcharge.
