Gateway Home Renewal
Renovate Smart. Sell Strong.
Gateway Home Renewal is a St. Louis–based renovation and property‑preparation company built specifically for homeowners who don’t live in their homes — including:
Inherited properties
Second homes / vacation homes
Rental properties after tenants move out
These types of homes often need updates, repairs, or cleanup before going to market — exactly where wholesalers try to swoop in with low offers
We exist to give you a better option.
(Our Primary Service)
Renovate Before Selling
We assess the home, recommend strategic improvements that increase value, manage the renovation, and prepare the home for market.
You walk away with:
More equity
More control
A stronger final sale pric
Financing options may be available for qualifying properties with equity.
(Fair, No‑Pressure Option)
Sell Your Home As‑Is
If renovating feels overwhelming or the timeline doesn’t work for you, we can make a fair as‑is offer
Unlike wholesalers, we:
Do not trap you in open‑ended contracts
Do not pass your contract around to strangers
Do not attempt extreme discounts
We give clear, transparent numbers.
Yes — we do need to make a reasonable profit for handling the project and risk.
But our model is designed so you keep more of the home’s value — not us, not a wholesaler, not an out‑of‑state investor.
What We Do Not Do
To protect you, our crews, and the quality of our process, we do not work on:
Owner‑occupied homes
Our system requires the home to be vacant (or easily made vacant).
This ensures:
Faster project timelines
Lower costs
Fewer disruptions
Safer working conditions
Cleaner before/after results
Higher return for you
If you're currently living in the home but planning to move out soon, we can still discuss timing.
Why Property Owners Trust Us
To protect you, our crews, and the quality of our process, we do not work on:
Whether you're dealing with a parent’s estate, a rental turnover, or a second home you don’t want to manage anymore, we understand the challenges:
Deferred maintenance
Only the improvements that actually increase your home’s value.
Old systems
Realtors who understand ROI
Contractors who know budget‑to‑value ratios
Investor‑grade pricing without the investor middleman
Cosmetic updates needed
Renovate + Sell for Top Dollar
Sell to Gateway Home Renewal as‑is (fair offer — no middleman markups)
Mess or clutter
High equity? Limited cash?
We offer renovation financing through our lending partners.
Unknown repair costs
Only the improvements that actually increase your home’s value.
Out‑of‑state logistics
Realtors who understand ROI
Contractors who know budget‑to‑value ratios
Investor‑grade pricing without the investor middleman
Feeling overwhelmed

Contractors who know budget‑to‑value ratios
Investor‑grade pricing without the investor middleman
Every Home Is Different — And So Are Your Options
Some properties benefit most from a light renovation.
Others need a full refresh to reach their potential.
And some situations simply make more sense for a fair as‑is sale.
Whatever the route, our goal is simple:
The Gateway Solution
A Smarter Way to Sell Your Home

Avoid wholesalers
Sell a home you’re not currently living in
Maximize the value of an inherited or second home
Improve a rental before selling
Get a clean, professional renovation plan
Understand all your options before committing
Work with a local STL team (not out‑of‑state investors)

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Gateway Home Renewal different from wholesalers?
Wholesalers try to lock your home under market value and sell your contract for a fee. Gateway provides transparent numbers, real renovation insight, and two clear options: renovate before selling or receive a fair as‑is offer. You keep more equity, and you stay in control.
Do I have to renovate before selling?
No. Renovation is optional. If it makes financial sense, we’ll show you the projected value after improvements. If you prefer a faster sale, we can make a fair as‑is offer with no pressure and no hidden fees.
What types of homes do you work with?
We specialize in vacant or easily vacated properties, including inherited homes, second homes, and rental properties after tenants move out. We do not work on owner‑occupied homes because our process requires a clear, open workspace for efficient renovations
How does renovation financing work?
If your property has equity but you don’t have cash on hand, we can connect you with lending partners who offer renovation financing. This allows you to complete value‑boosting updates without paying upfront.
How do I know which option is best for me?
We provide a free, no‑pressure evaluation that includes:
1. Your home’s current estimated value
2. Projected renovated value
3. Recommended renovation scope
4. Your net numbers for both options
You’ll see exactly how much equity you can keep so you can make a confident, informed decision.
