Sell Smarter
I Fix You Profit
We Help You Invest in Your Home Before You Sell—So You Can Make More Money at Closing.
Selling your home isn't about simply putting a sign in the yard. It's about maximizing your home's value.
Marcus E. Smith PA offers qualified sellers access to financing for approved repairs and improvements before the home is sold. Instead of settling for lower offers because of outdated finishes or deferred maintenance, you can prepare your home to compete with the best homes on the market—and often sell faster and for more money.
Maximize the Opportunity
Don't Let Your Home's Condition Determine Your Bottom Line.
Too many homeowners leave thousands—even tens of thousands—of dollars on the table because they don't have the cash to complete repairs, updates, or improvements before listing.
That's where I Fix You Profit™ is different.
Instead of allowing outdated finishes or deferred maintenance to define the buyer's perception of your home, qualified sellers may be able to make strategic improvements before the property goes to market.
Why Repairs Matter
Buyers Compare Your Home to Every Other Listing.
If your home needs work, buyers may factor those repairs into both their perception of the property and the amount they're willing to offer.
Over estimate cost to repair
Ask for over estimate repair credits
Low ball offers
Ask to have the repairs done
Poor contract terms longer to inspect and close
Lender denies loan based on condition

Your Improvement Plan May Include:
Depending on your home's needs, we may be able to coordinate and finance approved cosmetic, functional, and market-preparation improvements.
Every property receives a customized plan based on the expected return on investment.
Our Goal Is Simple
Spend Where It Has the Potential to Matter.
We don't recommend repairs because they look nice. We recommend improvements that have the potential to generate a positive return for you.
Not every repair makes financial sense. We'll help you determine where your money may be better spent—and where it shouldn't be spent at all.

Frequently Asked Questions
Understand the Program Before You Begin.
Learn how I Fix You Profit™ works, what types of improvements may qualify, and what to expect from consultation through closing.
1. What is the I Fix You Profit™ program?
The I Fix You Profit™ program helps qualifying homeowners prepare their home for sale by coordinating and financing eligible repairs and improvements before listing. The goal is to increase your home's appeal, attract more buyers, and maximize your profit at closing.
2. Why should I make repairs before selling my home?
Homes in excellent condition typically attract more buyers, receive stronger offers, sell faster, and often command higher prices. Strategic improvements can help your home stand out in a competitive market.
3. What if I don't have the money to make repairs?
That's exactly why this program exists. Qualified sellers may be able to finance approved improvements without paying large upfront costs. Repayment is typically made from the proceeds at closing, subject to program terms and approval.
4. How do you decide which repairs are worth making?
We evaluate your home, current market conditions, comparable sales, and buyer expectations. We recommend improvements that are most likely to increase buyer interest and your potential net proceeds while avoiding unnecessary expenses.
5. Will every repair increase my home's value?
No. Some repairs are essential, while others provide little or no return. We focus on improvements that are most likely to improve marketability and help maximize your overall return.
6. What types of repairs and improvements are eligible?
Depending on the property, eligible work may include painting, flooring, landscaping, roof repairs, HVAC repairs, plumbing, electrical work, kitchen and bathroom updates, pressure washing, cleaning, and curb appeal improvements.
7. How much can I finance?
The amount depends on the property, the scope of work, and program eligibility. We'll discuss available options during your consultation.
8. Is everyone approved for repair financing?
Not necessarily. Financing is subject to eligibility requirements and approval. We'll explain your options and determine whether your property qualifies.
9. Can I sell my home without making repairs?
Absolutely. Many homes sell as-is. However, buyers often factor repair costs into their offers and may request significant discounts or credits. We'll help you compare the potential financial outcomes of selling as-is versus making strategic improvements.
10. How long do repairs usually take?
Every project is different. Small cosmetic improvements may take only a few days, while larger projects can take several weeks. We'll create a timeline that helps get your home on the market as efficiently as possible.
11. Who manages the contractors?
We coordinate the process with trusted professionals, helping schedule and oversee the work to keep your project moving smoothly.
12. Can I use my own contractor?
In many cases, yes. If you already have contractors you trust, we'll discuss whether they can be incorporated into the improvement plan.
13. Will I know the costs before work begins?
Yes. You'll receive estimates and recommendations before any approved work starts so you understand the scope and expected investment.
14. What improvements usually provide the best return?
Every home is different, but fresh paint, updated flooring, improved landscaping, lighting, cleaning, kitchen touch-ups, and enhanced curb appeal are often among the most impactful improvements.
15. How does this help my home sell faster?
Move-in-ready homes typically generate more interest, attract more showings, and reduce buyer concerns. A home that presents well often receives stronger offers in less time.
16. Can this help reduce buyer negotiations?
Addressing known issues before listing can help reduce inspection-related surprises, minimize repair requests, and strengthen buyer confidence.
17. What if my home needs major repairs?
We'll evaluate the property and discuss whether completing the repairs makes financial sense. In some cases, selling as-is may be the better strategy. Our goal is to recommend the option that best serves your financial interests.
18. Is this only for older homes?
No. Even newer homes can benefit from cosmetic updates, maintenance, or small improvements that make a significant difference to buyers.
19. How is I Fix You Profit™ different from a traditional real estate agent?
Most agents simply tell you to fix things before listing. We help develop a strategy, prioritize improvements, coordinate the work, explore financing options for qualified sellers, and focus on increasing your potential profit—not just getting your home listed.
20. How do I get started?
It begins with a complimentary consultation. We'll walk through your home, identify opportunities to increase its marketability, explain your options, discuss whether financing may be available for qualified sellers, and create a personalized plan designed to help you maximize your profit.
