It happens. One day you wake up and think to yourself, "you have to make a change". That change could be an idea to remodel your home for that special room that you always wanted, to add on that special room, or... to move.
Living with contractors working on your house is no joy, as anyone who has done so can attest to. They come late, the work is disruptive to the rest of the home, they don't come at all some days, and the job never seems to be completed on schedule.
So is it time to remodel or just look for a new home?
Before you decide on any major home improvement project, speak with a REALTOR® (that's me!) who knows your neighborhood. Tell the area real estate agent specifically what the changes are that you have in mind, and get an honest opinion as to whether you will be "over-improving" your home for your neighborhood.
Secondly, you want to have a good idea as to how much this renovation will cost, and how much it will add to the value of your home, or if it will at all. Is the cost ofthe improvement warranted on the investment?
You will only know if you take the proper steps. An improvement may be the smartest decision for you, but then again it may not. If you want to find out what is best for you, your home, and your situation, contact me and I will give you an honest assessment where you can make your plans accordingly with full information. And of course, there is no obligation. I'm happy to help.
