Home Selling Tip: Remodeling Advice. If you are planning a large remodeling project get a real estate agent's advice. Sometimes you want to make improvements for the resale of your home. Sometimes it is just something special for you. Do you know how these projects will effect the value of your home?

You've got a friend in the business. Real estate agents see a lot of different homes. We get to see how people react to different styles and design choices. You learn about home designs and trends. We even research how different elements affect the purchase price and speed of sale.

Experience counts. I am a handyman and remodeler by hobby. I enjoy fixing up homes and making improvements. By doing this work for myself I have learned about construction and design elements. This experience helps me be able to visualize changes and potential issues that may occur.

I know a guy who . . . Real estate agents meet many of the contractors in the field. We see their work and know how they interact with clients. Being able to refer a professional who specializes in a certain type of project can really cut down on your legwork and may reduce your costs.

Home Selling Tip: Remodeling Advice. Bringing in a real estate agent early in the planning stage can save you time and money. If you want to increase the value of your home it is crucial to bring a real estate agent in to provide guidance. We are happy to help and want you to achieve your goals.

I also like to do "home fixit" projects and have seen and done enough to know that some things should beleft to the pro's.  Your blog is great and my hope is that people will follow our advice.

Ted-Having a little sweat-experience does make you a better judge of what a project will involve.  Great addition about the pro's because as you explain the remodeling project steps the owner should be able to gauge whether they will be over their heads.  Here's to your busted knuckles and scars!
