Who We Are
Our Head Quarters
Refurb 2 Invest was created to help property owners strategically transform their property to increase rental income, equity and instant asset growth.
Corissa Sorbello established the company in 2014 after successfully buying an older house, strategically transforming it and re selling the property resulting in a 4:1 return on investment.
Corissa saw a gap in the market that needed a solution to help others build their wealth through property too. With a passion for property, expertise in renovating and a love for connecting with people, Corissa and her team have now successfully helped over 200 property owners build their wealth through property.
CORISSA SORBELLO
FOUNDER | CEO
Corissa’s first influence of business came as a result of seeing her father’s hard work and long hours to provide for his family.
Motivating Corissa to start something for herself, at the age of 16 she launched her first business.
Her independence, passion, drive and work ethic continues to blossom as her experience in business expands. Her love for property and helping people was the reason she started this company in 2014.
Armed with real hands-on renovating experience and knowledge, Corissa is able to strategically dissect what each property needs, how to do it cost effectively, in the right areas and within the most efficient timeframe. Resulting in the client achieving the highest possible outcome.
Eight years on and with Corissa’s leadership the company has now helped hundreds of clients not only transform their properties but their lives!
"I love what I do because it's the real result at the end of the project that excites me the most... when my client tells me the extra profit they made means they can retire one year early or they now get to plan their first family holiday in years because of our help... and the amazing stories go on"
Now a mother of two, she is more determined than ever to show her amazing sons the importance and value of work ethics and personal growth.
”As my 7 year old says to me all the time, Mummy you have to work hard and be smart”
“My first project that would be the beginning to my real estate journey…” - Corissa Sorbello
