Four engagements, one method: understand the property, price the work, run the numbers, then decide. You are hiring judgment. The transaction is what happens once the judgment holds up.
01 / Buy
Know what the house will cost you after closing.
I walk properties with renovation eyes, not listing-photo eyes. Before you write an offer, you get a realistic read on structure, systems, scope, and what the fixes actually run in this market.
Most sellers spend in the wrong places. I separate the work that returns more than it costs from the work that only makes you feel better about the listing photos.
Renovation experience is the difference between a plan and a hope. I pressure-test scope, sequence, and budget so the project ends where it was supposed to.
