Find Your Dream Home With A Licensed Real Estate Agent
After years of working with clients who said they wished that they could have met us sooner in their journey to their dream home, we knew there was huge potential to offer even more value to our clients - by expanding our scope of work to include licensed real estate services.
Real estate and renovation go hand in hand. Renovators and real estate estate agents have the same end goal - getting their clients into the home of their dreams!

Working with a renovator who is also a real estate agent can offer several advantages:
Expertise in Both Renovation and Real Estate
Combining renovation expertise with real estate knowledge allows for a comprehensive understanding of the market and property values. This can help in making informed decisions about which renovations will add the most value to a property.
Cost-Effectiveness
A renovator who is also a real estate agent can combine services for a reduced cost to their client.
Market Insight
Real estate agents have a deep understanding of local market trends, property values, and buyer preferences. By leveraging this knowledge, a renovator can tailor their renovation projects to appeal to potential buyers, maximizing the property's resale value.
Streamlined Process
Working with a single professional who can handle both the renovation and real estate aspects can streamline the process and reduce coordination efforts on the part of the homeowner. This can lead to a more efficient and hassle-free experience.
Integrated Marketing
A renovator who is also a real estate agent can seamlessly integrate the marketing of the renovated property into their real estate services. They can leverage their network and marketing channels to attract potential buyers, potentially resulting in a faster sale.
Guidance Throughout the Process
From the initial property assessment to the final sale, a renovator-real estate agent can provide guidance and support at every stage of the process. This includes advice on renovation decisions, pricing strategy, and negotiation with buyers.
Access to Potential Buyers
Real estate agents often have a database of potential buyers actively looking for properties. By listing the renovated property with the agent, the homeowner can tap into this pool of prospective buyers, increasing the chances of a quick and successful sale.
Overall, working with a renovator who is also a real estate agent can offer a holistic approach to property purchases, renovations and sales, combining expertise in both areas to maximize the value and efficiency of the process.
