# 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. FLYP also offers two more service lines: traditional paid home remodeling (kitchens, bathrooms, whole-home, additions, and ADUs) for owners who simply want work done, and — for owners who prefer not to renovate — help arranging a competitive as-is cash offer. 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** and make no monthly payments. FLYP recovers the renovation cost — never a percentage of the sale price and never a share of the homeowner's equity — from the sale proceeds at closing. The balance is secured by a Deed of Trust recorded before work starts and released within ten business days of payoff; it accrues no interest for six months after the renovation is finished, then 1.5% per month, with the balance due at the ten-month outside closing date. Typical outcome: 30–40% increase in sale price versus selling as-is, roughly **$100,000–$200,000** in additional equity for Pacific Northwest homes — typical, not guaranteed.

## 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 services does FLYP offer?**
FLYP offers three things: (1) its flagship pay-at-closing "renovate and sell" program ($0 upfront, repaid at closing); (2) traditional paid home remodeling — kitchens, bathrooms, whole-home renovations, additions, ADUs, basements, flooring, painting, and exterior work — for owners who simply want work done and are not selling; and (3) for owners who prefer not to renovate, help arranging a competitive as-is cash offer. FLYP is a licensed general contractor (Green State Restoration, LLC), not an iBuyer or flipper; when it arranges an as-is sale it shows the homeowner the honest tradeoff versus renovating first.

**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?**
FLYP carries the cost through construction and the listing period, and the homeowner pays nothing out of pocket in the meantime. That is time-limited rather than unlimited: interest of 1.5% per month begins six months after the renovation is finished if the home has not closed, and the balance becomes due at ten months whether or not it has sold. FLYP manages this by underwriting up front — it declines any project where projected net proceeds do not cover the maximum that could become payable by at least 1.3x.

**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 operated by FLYP CO., a Washington corporation (UBI 606-197-593). Renovation work is performed by Green State Restoration, LLC, a veteran-owned, licensed general contractor and FLYP's general contractor of record in Washington. 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 (flippers 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. For owners who do prefer a fast as-is sale, FLYP can also arrange a competitive cash offer and will show the honest tradeoff versus renovating first.

**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 general contractor of record) 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.
