Is it worth buying and remodeling an old house?

• <div><p>Yes, it could be worth buying and remodeling an old house. You can potentially purchase an older house for a lower price than a newer house. With less of an upfront investment, you can devote more of your budget to the remodeling work. If you’re thinking of remodeling an old house and then reselling it—called house flipping—focus on projects that deliver the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/remodeling-projects-highest-roi.htm">best ROI for home improvements</a>. </p></div>

Q: Does adding a second story increase a home’s value?

• <div><p>Adding a second story can increase the resale value of your home, but your cost-to-value ratio might not give you the return on investment (ROI) you were looking for. Also, there are factors to keep in mind that can impact the value of your home, such as market conditions, your neighborhood, curb appeal, and functionality. If you&rsquo;re hoping this project will give you a significant ROI, talk with a realtor to see what potential increase you can expect and what you can do to maximize your home&rsquo;s value. </p></div>

Q: What factors do professionals consider in appraisals?

• <div><p>Property condition, comparables, market trends, and location influence appraisal.</p></div>

Q: Is hiring a real estate agent worth it?

• <div><p>Yes, hiring a real estate agent is worth it. Many homeowners make the mistake of trying to sell their homes by themselves, thinking that they&rsquo;ll save money on the commission, but what they save on the commission, they very often pay for in frustration and concessions on the sale price. Hiring a real estate agent to handle the sale of your home not only makes the process far easier and takes the burden off of you, but most homeowners get more for their homes when going through an agent because of the marketing and salesmanship they bring to the table.</p></div>

Q: Can I get an appraisal for tax purposes?

• <div><p>Yes, appraisals are often used for property tax appeals, estate planning, and determining market value.</p></div>

Stonebridge handled the job very professionally, dealt with my insurance agent, and kept me updated at every stage of the process. I referred Stonebridge to 2 different neighbors. They were amazed that my roof was replaced in 2 days, while a competitor took over a week to finish the roof across...

Fabulous. Mr. Winslow exceeded all of my expectations of what to expect from a realtor. I was very nervous because I have never had to sell a house that is not in the city/state where I live. Mr. Winslow walked me through the entire process and handled numerous tasks in my absence. He gave...

They were really good. I recommend the shop but not necessarily every beautician there. They change really often. They come in there and once they have established themselves, they move on. The shop itself is really good, but just about time you meet a real good one, they move on. It's not...

They come once a month. We have a contract with them. They go to the house whether we are there or not. They do the bugs and I had bees before and they removed the bees. They keep up with everything and as we stay in the woods there are lots of bugs, so they do the inside and outside. There are...
