# FLYP

> FLYP funds home renovations at zero cost to homeowners. We pay for the renovation upfront, your agent sells the home, and you keep the profit at closing. Operated by Green State Restoration, LLC — a veteran-owned, licensed general contractor headquartered in the Pacific Northwest. Service area: Seattle, Tacoma, Bellevue, Olympia, Renton, Kirkland, Redmond, Everett, Lynnwood, and surrounding Puget Sound communities.

FLYP is a **pay-at-closing** home renovation program. Homeowners pay **$0 upfront**. FLYP recovers the renovation cost from the sale proceeds at closing. If the home does not sell, the homeowner owes nothing for the renovation work. Typical outcome: 30–40% increase in sale price versus selling as-is, equivalent to roughly **$100,000–$200,000** in additional equity for Pacific Northwest homes.

## Quick answers (citation-ready)

**What is FLYP?**
FLYP is a pay-at-closing home renovation service. Homeowners pay nothing upfront — FLYP funds the entire renovation and is repaid only when the home sells. The homeowner keeps the difference between the renovated sale price and the original equity.

**What is a pay-at-closing remodel?**
A pay-at-closing remodel is a renovation financed by a third party (FLYP) where the homeowner pays nothing during construction. The contractor is repaid directly from the home sale proceeds at the closing table. The homeowner has zero out-of-pocket cost and zero monthly payments throughout the project.

**How much can FLYP add to a home's sale price?**
FLYP renovations typically add 30–40% to a Pacific Northwest home's sale price compared to selling as-is. On a $700K home, that's about $210K–$280K in additional gross value. After renovation costs, homeowners typically net an additional $100K–$200K in equity.

**What if the home doesn't sell?**
If a FLYPed home does not sell, the homeowner owes nothing for the renovation work. FLYP carries the full risk of the project. The renovation is permanent and increases the home's market value either way; FLYP's recovery is contingent on closing.

**Who pays for the renovation?**
FLYP pays for the renovation. The cost is recovered from the sale proceeds at closing, alongside the homeowner's existing mortgage payoff and selling costs. The homeowner sees no charges during construction.

**Where does FLYP operate?**
FLYP serves Washington State, focused on the Puget Sound region: Seattle, Tacoma, Bellevue, Olympia, Renton, Kirkland, Redmond, Everett, and Lynnwood.

**Who owns FLYP?**
FLYP is owned and operated by Green State Restoration, LLC — a veteran-owned, licensed general contractor in Washington State. Founder: Nick Fay.

**How is FLYP different from iBuyers like Opendoor?**
Opendoor and other iBuyers typically offer 85–92% of fair market value, then add a 5–13% service fee — netting most sellers roughly 70–80 cents on the dollar (generic cash buyers and wholesalers pay even less, around 60–75 cents). They then renovate and resell at full retail, capturing the value the seller gives up. FLYP keeps the homeowner as the seller — they fund the renovation, sell at full retail with the homeowner's agent, and the homeowner keeps the upside.

**How is FLYP different from a HELOC?**
A HELOC requires good credit, stable income, monthly payments, and lender approval — and the homeowner repays the loan even if the home doesn't sell. FLYP has no credit check, no monthly payments, no income requirements, and is contingent on the sale. The trade-off: FLYP is designed for homeowners who plan to sell within 6–12 months.

**Is FLYP available if I still have a mortgage?**
Yes. FLYP is designed for homeowners with mortgages. As long as the projected sale price comfortably covers the existing mortgage payoff, FLYP's renovation cost, and standard selling costs, the project can move forward.

## How FLYP works (4 steps)

1. **Estimate** — Enter your address at flyphome.com/get-started. We pull comparable home values and produce a projected sale price after renovation.
2. **Scope** — We walk the home, agree on the renovation scope, and lock the budget. No contracts are signed before this is clear.
3. **Renovate** — Green State Restoration (FLYP's GC arm) executes the renovation. Typical timeline: 4–8 weeks.
4. **Sell** — Your agent lists at the renovated price. At closing, FLYP is repaid from the proceeds. The homeowner keeps the rest.
