Wednesday, November 18, 2009 Renovating your home? Make some choices before you start.by Ben Officer on Wed, Nov, 18, 2009 04:03 PM
There are different reasons for renovating our homes. To finish the unfinished basement, modernize the kitchen, or to convert that living space into something more useful? Whatever the reason, do your research and homework well before you start. Ask yourself, “Am I renovating for me or am I renovating to sell?” I have had some sellers who go about renovating to sell, only to find out that the money they spent was not completely realized when the home sold. I advise sellers and prospective sellers to check with me for my experience and to also consult a Home Renovation Guide, like the one published by Henderson and Butt Appraisals. The guide takes a good look at home renovation costs and projected pay-backs, when you sell your home. The link to the guide is: http://www.hendersonandbutt.com/renovation.html (Note: I find it best to download the 1.72 MB .pdf document. It’s easier to read) Call me, if you have any questions.
