Why We Set Limits
CASHBATE is a risk-sharing solution, not a contractor. We only cover cosmetic updates that deliver maximum value for your sale. If your home qualifies, it means we're confident our contribution will help it sell faster and for more.
How It Works In Practice.
Every home is different. Our pre-qualification visit, we determine which cosmetic updates make the most sense for your property. The CASHBATE solution anchors the most important update first, and then we decide which additional updates may fit within the solution value. If an essential update goes beyond the limit, the seller may cover that portion directly.
