*Seller must pay for work upon earlier of closing, listing no longer being in effect, or 12 months after completion of first job. If settlement proceeds are insufficient to cover the RealVitalize project costs, seller must pay the balance within 15 days after closing. **Based on program data from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 (“Program Data Period”). Commission rates, listing cancellation rates, sales price percentage and percentage of agents that preeport they won the listing with the RealVitalize® Program (collectively, the “Metrics”) were measured during the Program Data Period. To calculate the results, the Metrics of the total Eligible Listings in RealVitalize-available markets were compared with those listings that participated in the RealVitalize program. “Eligible Listings” means residential property listings and excludes some commercial, vacant land, and new construction. This was not a controlled study; correlation does not equal causation. Results not guaranteed and past performance does not guarantee future results. The RealVitalize program cannot be used to prospect for new listings in New Jersey.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHEN DO I PAY BACK REALVITALIZE® EXPENSES?
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.
WHAT IS THE ANGI "HAPPINESS GUARANTEE"?
To get your home show-ready, RealVitalize partners with Angi's List 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.
WHAT IF THE COST OF WORK I WANT DONE ON MY HOME EXCEEDS MY REALVITALIZE® BUDGET?
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, prior to the start of the work.
