why agents partner with us
Built to give you a seat at the table before the work starts
Win more listing presentations

your role as the agent
You guide the scope. We execute it.
You know this market. You know what buyers are willing to pay more for and you know what they'll walk away from. The Pre-Listing Renovation Program gives you a seat at the table before the work starts. You guide the scope and we execute it. Your seller lists a home that reflects what the market wants, and you want it to sell for top dollar.
When a home sells for more, everyone wins. We've built this program so that outcome is within reach for every one of your listings, not just the ones with renovation cash on hand.
Who qualifies
Homeowners actively preparing to list in Monmouth County, working with a licensed real estate agent and committed to listing within 15 days of project completion.
your role as the investor
You call the numbers. We execute the work.
You know the deal, the ARV, and the margin you need to protect. The Pre-Listing Renovation Program gives you a firm scope and a firm price before you're locked into a schedule you can't control. You set the budget and the finish level, and we execute it on the timeline that keeps your holding costs down.
A renovation that comes in on budget and on schedule is the difference between a flip that pays and one that doesn't. We've built this program so that outcome doesn't depend on which sub shows up when.
Who qualifies
Investors and flippers renovating a property in Monmouth County for resale, committed to listing within 15 days of project completion.
common questions
What agents ask us
How do I get started?
Call or text (732) 440-7654. Cornerstone conducts a free pre-listing walkthrough and delivers the scope and a written estimate within 48 hours.
What if the buyer's inspector flags something after we list?
Every tier includes Final Inspection Coverage. We cover the cost of repairs the final inspection flags, up to a set amount, so it doesn't turn into a surprise bill or a delayed closing.
Does the seller need cash up front?
A deposit starts the work. The balance is paid from the seller's proceeds at closing, once the home is actively listed and sells within the program's terms.
Which tier should we pick?
Agent and seller identify the right tier together at the walkthrough, based on what the home needs and what the market will pay for. Premium Remodel, Home Refresh, or List-Ready Prep.
Who qualifies for the program?
Homeowners actively preparing to list in Monmouth County and committed to listing within 15 days of project completion.
Is Cornerstone licensed and insured?
