We Sell What You Want Sold. Nothing More.
You control what goes to market. Before U Demo recovers material value from your investment properties before demo day - adding a revenue line to projects that usually only have cost lines.

How it works
Before the crew arrives, we run the sale.
You tell us what's on the table
Text or call (844) B4U-DEMO. Share property details, timeline, and what you want sold. You maintain control - nothing goes to market without approval.
We fit your GC schedule
A Before U Demo advisor designs the sale around your project timeline. They promote to the buyer network, handle logistics, and coordinate removal so demo crews aren't delayed.
Buyers remove it. You pocket the margin.
Buyers purchase and remove materials at their cost. You receive proceeds post-sale. Former dumpster items become profit line items with reduced haul-off costs.

FAQ
Before you demo, here's what to know
Can I control exactly what gets sold and what stays?
Yes - completely. Nothing goes to market without explicit sign-off. Before organizing the sale, you designate what's included. If you're keeping appliances for rehab, holding copper for your plumber, or reserving materials for other projects, none of it gets touched. The sale builds around what you want to move. Multi-project investors value this since Before U Demo becomes a resource rather than a variable to manage.
How does this fit into my demo or renovation timeline without slowing things down?
The team builds around your GC schedule from the start. When you reach out, provide your demo or renovation date and we work backward - organizing the sale, promoting to buyers, and scheduling removal before crews arrive. Buyer removal is included, so materials leave at the buyer's cost on a coordinated timeline. Demo scope typically shrinks since buyers remove high-volume items, often resulting in lower demo contract quotes.
Does this work if I have multiple investment properties in the pipeline?
Yes, and efficiency increases with more properties. We've worked with investors and acquisition groups running sequential tear-downs and simultaneous rehab projects across multiple sites. Once your model and timelines are understood, sales can be planned in advance and built into your standard project workflow. Some investors now include projected proceeds in acquisition pro formas as a revenue line before closing.
How does the revenue split work, and when do I get paid?
Before U Demo operates on a proceeds split - earning a percentage of sales, aligning incentives. No upfront cost, listing fee, or charges if materials don't sell. After the sale event, proceeds settle directly with you. The exact split depends on sale format and lead source - your advisor explains specifics during evaluation. Short version: pay nothing until there's something to split.
Will buyers actually show up on time and remove things cleanly?
Buyer reliability is actively managed. Buyers understand removal is their responsibility on a defined schedule. The Demo Pro manages on-site events, coordinates removal logistics, and follows up on uncleared items. Sales have run on active investment sites with GC crews scheduled days later - timing has worked every time.
