*Deferred Payment Terms: Approved pre-sale improvement costs may be deferred until closing, subject to eligibility and a written Home Smith WI LLC agreement. A deposit may be required before work begins to cover materials, special-order items, permits, subcontractors, or other project expenses. Deferred payment is a postponement of payment and is not contingent upon the home selling; the homeowner remains responsible for all approved work and project costs. If the property does not close, is withdrawn from the market, the listing is canceled or expires, or the owner elects not to sell, the outstanding balance becomes due according to the terms of the project agreement. Home Smith WI LLC and Century 21 Affiliated provide separate services, and homeowners are free to choose their own contractor and real estate professional. No guarantee is made that improvements will increase property value, result in a sale, achieve a particular sale price, or provide a specific return on investment.
