—  RENOVATE—

Are you looking for a fixer-upper?  A lot of buyers dream of finding a space that they can customize and make their own, but don't know where to start. 

The first step would be to figure out how you plan to finance the purchase and renovation of the property.  Most people erroneously believe that you must finance the renovation with cash, however there are several loan programs that allow you to roll the renovation costs into your mortgage, and we can recommend experienced lenders who can help you with this.  Once you have an idea of what your budget is, we can begin to hunt for a property. 

When looking for a fixer upper, it is of the utmost importance for your Realtor to have a general idea of construction costs so that the property will qualify for the loan and you will not waste valuable time looking at properties that are over-budget.  Our team leader is a Licensed Contractor and Owner of Hestia Construction, LLC, a woman-owned construction company focusing on design-driven home renovations and custom homes in the Philadelphia area.  As such, our agents are trained to look out for the costly issues that can ruin your renovation budget, and we can connect you with the best home inspectors to provide a more in-depth look at the property.  We also can recommend reliable contractors who can get the job done right.
