For many homeowners, the prospect of receiving high-quality renovations without paying upfront or incurring interest may seem unimaginable—but that’s how the RealVitalize® program truly works.
Angi offers the nation's largest network of pre-screened, homeowner-rated home service professionals. They'll connect you with top-rated local pros to ensure you're getting the best service provider to get the job done right.
The RealVitalize® program is offered throughout the United States, except for Delaware, Louisiana, North Dakota, Rhode Island and South Dakota. Though Angi continue to explore opportunities to expand.
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.
Structural work is not included.
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.
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.
