We BuyWe RemodelWe Build
We're a Washington contracting company that specializes in remodeling homes to get them ready for sale. If you're selling, we can help you finance and fund the work, so the remodel doesn't have to come out of your pocket before you list. We also buy houses as-is.

Selling your home?
Remodel and list it, or sell to us as-is.
Most homes sell better after the right updates. We walk through the house, show you what's worth doing, and help you fund the work. If you'd rather skip the remodel, we'll make a written cash offer instead.
WalkA free walkthrough. No cleanup needed first.
PlanA written pre-sale remodel scope with funding options, or an as-is cash offer.
BuildWe finish the work on a schedule built around your listing date.
ListYour agent lists the updated home. We're happy to work alongside them.
Two ways we help
| Remodel with us, then list | Sell to us as-is | |
|---|---|---|
| Repairs | We handle them | None. We buy as-is |
| Upfront cost | Funding help available | None |
| Selling | Your agent lists the updated home | One walkthrough, then a written offer |
| Timeline | Remodel, then list | Quick close |
| Best for | Getting the most from an updated home | Speed and certainty |
Financing and funding are subject to approval and written terms. Offers are made in writing after a walkthrough and are not guaranteed. Cornerstone does not act as a real estate agent.
