Get the most out of your biggest asset: your home
Get the expert guidance you need
to transform your home
Renovating can be overwhelming for homeowners, but with Realm’s expert advisors, you’ll know what’s fair, who to trust, and how to avoid costly pitfalls.
With Realm | On Your Own or With a Referral |
Know exactly how to get started. We provide clear guidance, expert recommendations, and tailored insights, so you can make confident decisions from day one. | Feel confused, overwhelmed by research, and unsure of where to begin. Agonize over options and details, leading to frustration, delays, and costly mistakes. |
Get a personalized renovation plan with accurate cost estimates, clear timelines, and detailed design renderings, so you know which projects to tackle first, what to expect, and can visualize your transformation. | Be left in the dark without a clear plan. Initial estimates might change with little warning, timelines can shift, and renderings may cost extra. |
Let your Realm Advisor do the heavy lifting. They’ll plan your project, compare bids, negotiate the best deals, and ensure a fair contract. | Handle everything yourself. Research fair pricing, negotiate, and manage the terms on your own. |
Match with three vetted contractors from our invite-only network who are a perfect fit for your project type, budget, and needs. | Work with a contractor who might not fit your needs. A referral that worked for someone else may not suit your project’s scope, budget, or requirements, and you risk working with unlicensed or uninsured contractors. |
Get the best pricing. Because we work frequently with our contractors, we secure better rates for our homeowners. Plus, with a Realm Advisor handling negotiations, you’ll always get the best deal. | Risk overpaying and not knowing what's fair. You could end up with inflated rates and miss out on better offers. |
Experience VIP treatment. As a top source of business for contractors, our homeowners experience higher quality and faster response times. | Lack leverage and priority. Your project could fall to the bottom of the contractor’s to-do list, with no one to advocate for you. |
Enjoy peace of mind with a 2-year warranty, milestone-based payments, change order guarantee, and dedicated support if any issues arise. | Face issues with no one to help. You may deal with unclear payment terms, costly change orders, and a limited warranty. |
Our Advisors have supported 3,500+ projects
Having renovated myself, I believe Realm adds real value for homeowners who may not know what things should cost or who to trust to get the job done right.
I love helping them take their ideas and make them a reality. It's so exciting to see their projects come to life and know that I've been able to take some of the heavy lifting off their shoulders.
Where else can you turn for unbiased recommendations? Realm Advisors have experience with hundreds of project types and tailor their support to each homeowner's needs and goals.
Reassurance by Realm:
We provide three key safeguards to give you confidence throughout your renovation journey.
Fewer Problems
While one-third of home renovations face issues, with Realm, it’s fewer than 10%. If any problems do arise, your Realm Advisor will step in to resolve them quickly and smoothly. With Realm, you’re never on your own.
Price Protection
Protect yourself from overpaying and avoidable change orders. Your Realm Advisor will establish a fair price range before you even meet with contractors. We ensure contracts include a milestone-based payment structure, so you only pay for work as it’s completed. Plus, Realm guarantees that change orders will only occur for unforeseen conditions or additional scope requests.
Quality Warranty
All projects are backed by a 2-year warranty—double the industry standard—giving you extra peace of mind that your renovation will stand the test of time.
