Design, Renovate, and List
We invest our capital with no upfront costs to you. Together, we maximize your home's value.
If your property needs updates to sell but you lack the capital, time, or expertise to manage renovations, our profit-sharing partnership removes every barrier. We fund the transformation, handle every detail from design to sale, and only succeed when you do.
Not Ready to List?
We Offer Other Options!
While our signature profit-sharing model is our specialty, we understand that not every homeowner is ready to sell. We also provide design and renovation services for those who want to improve their current living space.
A Complete Partnership from Start to Finish
Our comprehensive service covers every step from initial property consultation through closing day. We assess your home's potential, invest our capital in strategic renovations, professionally stage the transformed property, implement targeted marketing strategies, and share in the success when it sells.

Maximizing Your Profit with No Upfront Costs to You
Design Expertise
We assess your property and create a customized renovation plan tailored to what buyers in your neighborhood want. With 30+ years of experience, we select materials and make design decisions that maximize your return on investment.
Construction Management
Our licensed, insured contractors handle all construction with expert oversight. You'll receive regular progress updates throughout the 90-day renovation timeline while we ensure quality workmanship at every stage.
Professional Staging
Once renovations are complete, we professionally stage your property with strategic furniture and décor placement. Your home stays beautifully styled throughout the entire listing period to appeal to the widest range of buyers.
Marketing & Sales
From professional photography to digital campaigns and open houses, we implement proven marketing strategies. Our expert pricing analysis and negotiation skills ensure you attract qualified buyers and secure competitive offers.
Partnership Support
We provide transparent communication from initial consultation through closing day. No hidden fees, interest charges, or surprises—just dedicated support and a commitment to your success every step of the way.
How the Partnership Works
Our Commitment
We invest our own capital to fund your property's transformation. This typically ranges from modest updates to comprehensive renovations, depending on what your property needs to attract serious buyers.
Your Commitment
You provide the property, and you trust us with its transformation. You pay nothing up front, including consultations, renovations, staging, or marketing.
Shared Success
When your property sells, we first recoup our renovation investment from the proceeds. Then, we share in the additional value created by the transformation. We only profit when you profit.
The Result
You walk away with significantly more than you would have received selling as-is, without having invested any of your own money or time managing contractors and renovations.
Why Choose Brick & Ivy
True Alignment
Unlike traditional contractors who profit regardless of your sale price, we only succeed when you succeed. Our profit-sharing model means we're motivated to maximize your home's value.
Expertise That Matters
With over 30 years of experience in Travis County real estate and design, we know exactly what buyers in your neighborhood want and what renovations deliver the best return.
No Upfront Costs
You invest nothing upfront. We fund the entire transformation with our own capital, removing the financial burden and stress from your shoulders.
Complete Service
From the first consultation to the final closing, we handle every detail. You don't coordinate contractors, select materials, or manage timelines—we do.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. We fund 100% of the renovation costs with our own capital. You pay nothing until your home sells, and then only after we recoup our investment do we share in the value created.
