What Is Most Important When Renovating Your Home in Jacksonville?

Plan Ahead When Renovating  

Today, I want to share a video from HGTV to discuss how you can plan ahead when it comes to home renovations. Renovating your home can be an exciting process, but it's important that you don't get ahead of yourself. You can't just go willy-nilly into a major project and expect it to go perfectly. Planning properly for these types of projects can assure a smooth project, and one that may even cost less!

HGTV’s Amy Matthews recommends making a very detailed timeline of your project, including potential things that could go awry and making backup plans in order to prevent these things from happening. Putting your plan onto paper is a good way to start this process.


  
Another major step is choosing a good team of contractors that you can communicate with. If they don't know what you want done, they can't do it.

Just remember, there is no such thing as too much planning! If you plan on renovating your Jacksonville home, please contact us. We know great contractors and could also give you advice on what projects will bring you the highest return on your investment.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Why Shopping for a Lender is Important



A lot of real estate agents will have a preferred lender for you to use, and they're often really great lenders that can find you a good program and get you to close on schedule. However, it's also important to know what's out there and search around for loan products that suit you and your needs. 

There's nothing wrong with finding another lender that will cater to your needs. If you don’t fit in the lending box we’ll help you look outside of it.



This is why it's important to ask about your options and speak with a Realtor or a lender about what program would suit you the best.

Pricing Attractively Is Crucial Even in a Seller's Market



Pricing your home may very well be the most important part about selling it. This is true even in a seller's market where you have the upper hand. Pricing too high from the beginning is an excellent way to drive buyers away, even in a seller's market.

Pricing correctly from the beginning will allow you draw in multiple offers and this will eventually raise your sale price. Abandon the mindset that you need to price high from the beginning because that's just how homes sell now. You want to start low and then build the price up through negotiation and multiple offers.

It's important to allow the market to price your home for you, and if buyers are willing to fight over your home then that means you have priced it very attractively. My team is very good at finding prices that are attractive to buyers, so if you need assistance with this, please don't hesitate to contact us.

It's a great time to sell a home in Jacksonville!
