FRANCHISE RESALES

Buy a Renovation Sells Franchise

Renovation Sells is a pre-sale home renovation franchise that helps real estate agents and home sellers prepare listings for market through targeted cosmetic updates. Founded in 2018 in Chicago and franchising since 2021, the brand focuses on non-structural improvements: cabinet painting, countertop replacement, lighting upgrades, tile work, and similar aesthetic changes that make homes move-in ready without the cost or timeline of a full remodel.

The business model is built around Realtor relationships. Franchisees work from a home office, coordinating local subcontractors to complete renovation projects. All design is handled at the corporate level: the brand’s in-house design team provides a custom digital design board for each project, selecting materials suited to the local buyer market. This lets franchisees focus on client relationships and project coordination rather than aesthetic decisions.

Renovation Sells operates across US territories with no physical office space required and no full-time employees necessary. The brand positions itself as a dedicated presale renovation service, occupying a niche at the intersection of residential real estate and home improvement.

Why buy a Renovation Sells Franchise?

The case for buying a Renovation Sells franchise centers on a B2B referral model with low capital requirements and limited direct competition in most markets. Franchisees build relationships with real estate agents whose repeat business forms the sales pipeline, with less reliance on traditional consumer marketing. The home-based model keeps fixed costs low, with no full-time employees required.

The corporate design team handles all aesthetic decisions and material selection for each project, lowering the bar for entry into what could otherwise be an expertise-heavy business. Franchisees receive construction management software for proposals, billing, and project tracking, along with ongoing marketing support and weekly access to the founding team.

Renovation Sells – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Renovation Sells provides 22 hours of classroom training and 41 hours of on-the-job training, delivered as one week virtual and a 7-day in-person orientation at the Chicago headquarters. Franchisees access proprietary construction management software for proposals, billing, and project tracking, plus the corporate design team's custom digital design boards for each client project. Ongoing support includes weekly calls with the founding team and marketing tools for Realtor outreach. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and system access Renovation Sells provides to incoming owners.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The ideal Renovation Sells franchisee is relationship-focused and comfortable with sales outreach to real estate agents as the primary business-development activity. A background in real estate, construction, or project management is useful but not required; the corporate design team handles all aesthetic decisions. Strong organizational skills matter: managing multiple subcontractor-led projects is central to the role. Former Realtors and those already connected to local real estate networks are well suited, but any operator who can build agent referral relationships and coordinate a reliable local trade team can fit this model.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Renovation Sells was named one of Entrepreneur magazine's Fastest-Growing Franchises of 2023, reflecting rapid expansion in the years following its franchise launch. The brand positions itself as a first-mover in the dedicated presale renovation space, and its Realtor-focused model has built recognition among real estate professionals across its operating markets. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the local reputation of the specific territory, including agent relationships, online reviews, and visibility within the local real estate community.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US home improvement market supports hundreds of billions in annual consumer and professional spending, with professional remodeling expected to grow through the latter part of this decade, per the Home Improvement Research Institute. Within that sector, pre-sale renovation is a growing niche driven by buyer expectations for move-in ready homes and real estate market demand for listings that photograph well. Sellers and their agents increasingly seek fast, cost-efficient cosmetic updates to reduce days on market. For resale buyers, local housing turnover and Realtor activity are the key demand factors to assess in a specific territory.
