Your listing's condition shouldn't hold up your timeline.
ARX Builders handles vacant-property make-ready work for real estate agents across DC, Maryland & Virginia — paint, patch, repair, and clean, managed under one scope with one point of contact, so the property is showing-ready on your schedule.
Built around the thing that actually slows a listing down: too many vendors.
Fast, flat quotes
Walkthrough and a flat quote in 24–48 hours on most vacant properties, so you can price the timeline into the listing.
One point of contact
You deal with one project manager for paint, patch, flooring, and repairs — not four separate vendors and four separate schedules.
Built for vacant properties
We work vacant-home timelines every day — coordinated access, no tenant scheduling, crews in and out on a set window.
Documented handoff
Photos and a walkthrough when the work is done, so you have what you need for showings and listing photos.
Volume pricing for repeat agents
Agents who send us multiple listings a year get preferred rates — a contractor who already knows their standards, their comps, and how they like a property shown.
Backed by a GC, not a handyman
General contracting facilitator with 30+ years of combined trade experience on the team — not a one-person punch-list crew.
Built to work with how agents actually front costs.
Two things we hear from agents constantly: turnover work ties up cash before closing, and listing agents who send us repeat business shouldn't pay the same rate as a one-off job. So:
Deposit to start, balance at closing
On qualifying listings, we can structure payment as a deposit to begin work with the remaining balance due at closing — instead of the full amount up front. Terms are confirmed at quote, on a per-listing basis.
Volume pricing for repeat agents
Send us multiple listings a year and we'll set you up with preferred, discounted rates — ask your project manager for our current agent pricing.
From lockbox code to listing-ready.
Walkthrough & scope
We walk the property (in person or via your inspection report / photos) and build a scope covering everything the listing needs.
Flat quote
You get a single flat price for the full scope — no line-item surprises once work starts.
Work begins
Crews and trade partners are scheduled around your listing date, with access coordinated directly with you or the seller.
Walkthrough & handoff
We walk it with you (or send documented photos), sign off on the scope, and the property is ready to show.
What's typically in a turnover
Every property is different — the exact scope is set at the walkthrough. Most pre-listing turnovers draw from:
Full or partial interior repaint · drywall patch & touch-up · flooring repair or spot replacement · fixture, hardware & outlet repair · minor cabinet & trim repair · deep clean coordination · exterior touch-up (paint, power washing, minor repair)
