As a real estate agent, you understand the power of presenting homes in their best light to attract buyers and secure top-dollar sales. Renovations can play a pivotal role in reaching this goal, but they can also come with their fair share of challenges.

By understanding the most common renovation mistakes (and having the right partner by your side), you can get ahead of these hiccups and help them have a hassle-free renovation experience that doesn’t delay their sale.

The Budget Blues

One of the most frequent missteps homeowners encounter during renovations is underestimating costs or deviating from their budget. For homeowners, it can become hard to keep track of the budget when there are so many moving parts and/or unexpected expenses. 

As you guide them through the process, stress the importance of setting a realistic budget from the beginning, factoring in the return they will see by investing a certain amount of money.  Suggest they build in a contingency fund to account for unexpected challenges that may arise, ensuring they stay on financial track throughout the project.

When you work with Renovation Sells, it’s easy to alleviate the budget blues. Our easy financing program allows sellers to focus on the returns they will see after their sale rather than worrying about fronting money out of pocket.

The DIY Temptation

When a homeowner attempts to take on a renovation themselves, delays are more common than not. DIYers often have a hard time anticipating potential setbacks which can cause delays in the process and ultimately in their sale. 

Homeowners also underestimate the complexity of renovations and attempt to take on more than they can handle. As a real estate agent, caution against the DIY temptation, especially for complex projects. Emphasize the importance of hiring experienced professionals for tasks that require specialized skills. 

With a roster of experienced contractors and expert designers at your fingertips, Renovation Sells can help your clients avoid the DIY temptation while delivering quality work and ensuring the project stays on track.

Design Without Direction

The wrong design decisions can actually hinder a sale. Why invest a ton of time, money, and effort into a renovation to then pick the wrong wall or floor color? Great interior design requires expertise. 

With Renovation Sells, we don’t just create beautiful homes. We know what sells, and we only make suggestions that will get sellers real returns on their investment.
