FAQ'S
WHEN DO I PAY BACK REALVITALIZE® EXPENSES?
You will repay the RealVitalize program the exact amount that was spent on Angi service providers’ work — no interest or fees. It will be deducted from the equity of your home at closing. However, if the listing agreement expires or is canceled, if there is not enough equity in the home sale to cover the RealVitalize costs, or 12 months elapse from the date of first RealVitalize project completion, you will be responsible for paying back the RealVitalize program.
WHAT IS THE ANGI “HAPPINESS GUARANTEE”?
To get your home show-ready, RealVitalize partners with Angi — whose powerful network of qualified service professionals work across 500+ service categories in your local market. Only their top-rated vendors are sourced for RealVitalize clients, and they come with a “Happiness Guarantee”: If you’re not happy with the quality of work done, Angi will make it right at no additional cost to you.
WHAT IF THE COST OF WORK I WANT DONE ON MY HOME EXCEEDS MY REALVITALIZE BUDGET?
Since the maximum amount of capital fronted to you is equivalent to your listing agent’s commission rate, you can increase their commission rate in order to raise your budget (subject to program maximum set by the brokerage). Alternately, you can pay for the overage out of pocket directly to Angi, before the start of the project.
