The Frenchman Property Co.

Pre-sale renovation · Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex

List your home renovated,
pay when it sells.

I renovate your home before it lists. You PAY NOTHING until closing — from the sale.

Or reach me directly: (469) 975-8788

You'll reach me — not a call center.

Every cash buyer who calls wants to renovate your house and keep the profit. I help you keep it instead.

The offer

No cash up front. No hassle. Full value.

The same cosmetic work a flipper would do — done on your home, before you sell, so you keep the upside.

01Nothing out of your pocket

No deposit, no draws, no invoice during the work. You approve a fixed quote up front and pay one number at closing, out of the sale proceeds.

02One fixed cost, in writing

The number we agree before work starts is the number at closing. It doesn't move unless you change the scope.

03I manage it all. You touch nothing

I find the trades, hire them, schedule them, and stand on the site. You never chase a contractor or price a countertop.

04A renovated home sells faster

Buyers scroll past dated listings and compete over move-in-ready ones. The dated house sits while the price drops. The renovated one gets the offers.

05Two projects at a time

On purpose. I take very few homes so I can run each one like it's my own on the market. You get me — not a rotating project manager.

06Local and accountable

One French-born operator in DFW, insured, whose name is on the company. The person who prices your job is the person who answers for it.

A real Tarrant County home · public MLS record

The same house. Two ways to sell it.

1,638 sq ft. Dated finishes, good bones — a cosmetic job, not a gut. It sat on the MLS 184 days.

to the seller.

The flipper who bought this home as-is is doing the same $30,000 cosmetic renovation I do — and keeping that $44,000! Listed at $350,000, it sold for $251,000 after 184 days. The renovated value is deliberately conservative; nearby comps run higher.

How it works

Three steps. Nothing paid until closing.

1

I walk it and quote it

Free, under an hour. We agree the scope up front — I advise on the finishes that return the most at resale — and you get two numbers in writing: a fixed renovation cost, and a conservative estimate of what the home sells for renovated.

2

I renovate. You pay nothing

I fund and run the work — most cosmetic updates finish in 3–5 weeks. No money leaves your pocket.

3

You sell. I'm paid at closing

The home lists renovated and sells at renovated value. My fixed cost is settled on the closing statement. If you have an agent, they stay your agent.

What I guarantee

Agreed before we start. No surprises.

No cost to you until closing

No deposit, no draws, nothing out of pocket while the work happens. My fee settles from the sale, at closing.

No added cost beyond my quote

You approve the scope and budget before I start. The cost I quote is the cost at closing — nothing added.

The Frenchman

Nicolas — the person running your project.

I'm French-born, based in DFW. I came here to invest in real estate. Looking at how homes actually sold, I saw the same thing over and over: good houses sold at a discount because the owner couldn't or wouldn't renovate first — and cash buyers pocketed the difference.

So I built the other option. I don't buy your house at a discount. I renovate it so you sell it for what it's worth — and I'm paid only when you are.

5 weeks
Instead of months on the market bleeding holding costs — a fast, fully managed cosmetic renovation.
$0
You pay nothing until closing. No deposit, no draws, nothing out of pocket while the work happens.
Zero
Contractors to chase, materials to source, schedules to manage. I handle every part of it. You do nothing.
