Pre-sale renovation coordination · Alberta
Get the house ready to sell — without managing the renovation.
For Alberta homeowners preparing a sale — especially estates and downsizers. A certified project manager coordinates the work; your money stays in a law firm’s trust account and is released only as milestones are met. If the honest answer is to sell as-is, we tell you that too.
Realtors refer clients here. There is no cost to look at your options.
How it works
Refer, assess, an honest verdict, managed work, sale.
The process is designed for people who cannot — or would rather not — scope, hire, and supervise trades on a deadline. Often that is an executor settling an estate, or someone downsizing after decades in one home.
- 1
A realtor refers you
Your agent sends a referral with your consent. You decide whether to go further — there is no obligation, and no cost to look.
- 2
We assess the home
A certified project manager visits, scopes the work that tends to matter for a sale, and prices it against local comparables. Nothing is assumed.
- 3
You get an honest verdict
One plain-language proposal with an all-in number, fully itemized. It says whether coordinated work looks worthwhile — or whether selling as-is is the better call. Both are shown with equal weight.
- 4
The renovation is managed
If you proceed, vetted contractors do the work on a fixed-price scope. Your project manager runs it. You approve milestones as they complete; you never manage a trade.
- 5
The home goes to market
Work is completed, documented with dated photos, and the home is ready to list — with a two-year workmanship warranty in place.
- Real project photo — before/after, same angle (added once available)
The protection stack
Built for a decision you have to be able to defend.
The people this serves are often answerable to someone else — beneficiaries, a family, their own careful judgment. The protections below are structural, not promises.
Money held in a law firm’s trust
Funds sit in a Calgary law firm’s trust account and are released only as milestones are met — never paid out ahead of the work. Your money is protected by the firm, not by us.
Statutory clocks, followed
Alberta’s builders’ lien holdback and payment timelines are tracked and honored on every project. The dates are shown to you plainly, framed as protection, not pressure.
Two-year workmanship warranty
Work is done by contractors enrolled in Alberta’s new-home warranty program’s renovation coverage — an insured two-year workmanship warranty backs the job.
The sell-as-is option, always honest
If coordinated work is unlikely to be worth it, the proposal says so and puts selling as-is first. We would rather tell you that than sell you a renovation.
One proposal, a visible fee
One all-in number, fully itemized, with our coordination fee shown separately — never buried in the construction price. You sign two plain-language contracts: your builder’s and your coordinator’s.
Fiduciary-grade documentation
Every decision, cost, and release is recorded and filed — the kind of paper trail an executor can hand to beneficiaries, or a downsizer can keep for their records.
