Get Started
Selfmade is a buyer-first real estate platform that lets you customize and renovate a home before you buy it. We purchase the property, complete the agreed-upon renovation, and then sell it back to you—so you move into a personalized, move-in-ready home without the stress of managing construction yourself.
You find a home you love, and Selfmade makes it work for you.
1. Send us a home listing you're interested in or browse eligible homes.
2. We create a Feasibility Report showing what’s possible within your budget.
3. You choose what upgrades you want to make to the home with the help of our team.
4. Selfmade buys and renovates the home, handling everything from permits to materials.
5. You close on your beautifully updated home.
Not necessarily. Many homes qualify even if they only need light updates. Selfmade focuses on cosmetic and value-add renovations—like kitchens, baths, flooring, paint, and windows—so you can get a “new-home feel” without paying new-construction prices.
Most Selfmade renovations are completed in 3–8 weeks depending on scope and materials. Because all work happens before you move in, you avoid months of living through construction or delays after closing.
Not at all. Selfmade manages the entire renovation process through our vetted network of contractors, trades, and suppliers. You get the benefit of professional execution, quality materials, and predictable pricing—without the hassle of managing bids or timelines.
We’re currently operating in Southern California. Specifically in Los Angeles County, Orange County, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County.
