Need a contractor, or other ideas, for home owner client

I am an experienced Realtor but beginner in flipping ways and have a seller who wants to fix a condo he has owned a while to sell. It is vacant. He doesn't want to sell as-is (I've tried but he doesn't like the numbers). At this point I am looking for a contractor in the Orange, CA area to refer that has a flipper mentality to keep costs down, the contractors that have been there are looking at retail numbers. 

Quick facts: Good condition and ready to sell would get approximately $575,000 - $600,000. 

Needs entire kitchen and baths (full and 3/4) redone. Needs flooring, about 1,170 sqft, interior painting, can lights and some drywall work from water leak a while ago, no moisture issues at all, originally built 1963.

One contractor estimate that I know about is in the mid $70,000s if paying cash and another in higher $80,000s (no discount for cash provided). Owner is not handy so don't see them doing any of the work themselves.

Would love to get some ideas from the community, thanks in advance,
