He has a totally different approach to the whole process, starting with excellent glamour-style photography that gracefully emphasized my home?s best features. His wide-angle photos were so good, I almost want to re-buy the home myself! The rest of his program followed at the same high level. The main problem I was facing was the length of time it had been taking to sell homes in my complex. The typical time for recent sales was 150 days or more from the time of putting the home on the market until close of escrow and sale completion. One home had been on the market for 160+ days without even selling. This was not going to work for me, because I had to leave in about 45 days for my new home in Maine. Terry?s combination of programs was perfect for my situation. First, he prepared my home for sale according to his Certified Pre-Owned Home program, which he obviously adapted from the car business. Same idea, complete with extra inspections and extended warranties to set the buyer?s mind at ease? When we went on the market, my home had a clear termite report and a final Home Inspection report, done after we had completed the repairs we decided to do from the first Home Inspection. We also had a title report and all the HOA docs? we were ready to close escrow from the very first day we went on the market. Next, the first few days on the market were devoted to preparing for an auction. I was a little concerned about this, but Terry explained that we would have an unpublished minimum bid, and I would not have to sell if the bidding didn?t reach this minimum price. He said the auction was to identify the very best buyer, create buyer competition, and to establish a deadline to get the buyers to commit. Although we had traditional offers, and ultimately sold traditionally, rather than at the auction, the auction promotion certainly caused a lot of stir because of the low starting bid and the auction deadline, and it certainly brought attention to my sale. Incredibly, in addition to 3 weekends of newspaper advertising and the two online virtual tours and other online promotion, Terry spent the money to send out 2400 of the beautiful, professionally-done 4 page brochures of my home to the most likely buyers! Outside of one evening showing, all the prospective buyers viewed my home (and viewed competing buyers, too, just as Terry planned for it to happen) during the weekend open houses. This was convenient for me, but the real reason behind it, Terry told me, was to compress the showings so buyers would see their competition. Each showing and each entry into my home for inspections and repairs was managed and attended by Lauren, the company?s Client Experience Manager. She was delightful, managing the inspections, the repair, the pre-marketing staging by the interior designer paid for by Hunter-Broker, and then getting the movers necessary to implement the staging ideas, again paid for by Hunter-Broker. Talk about turn-key? this was beyond that? it was total ?remote control?! All of Terry?s efforts paid off! With 3 offers, we were in escrow in only 21 days, closing escrow only 24 days later, for a total of 45 days. This compares with over 150 days for the other sales, AND our price was $24,000 more than the last sale in our complex! What a combination? less than 1/3 the time, and a higher price, too! But that?s not all! Not only did Terry get my home into escrow quickly, he also made sure up-front that the escrow would actually close, providing me peace-of-mind during the whole process. Instead of relying on the typical real estate agreement, where I would be obligated to sell to the buyer, but the buyer could walk away any time, Terry got all of the contingencies removed that could kill my sale. First, he got buyer agreement on his 95% appraisal agreement, which says an appraisal value of 95% of the contract price satisfies the appraisal requirement. Since we knew that that appraisal wouldn?t come in less than 95%, I didn?t have to worry about a low appraisal killing my sale. Next, Terry explained that the other thing that kills sales is the totally open-ended, 17day home inspection period in the standard sales agreement. He said buyers just sometimes ?fall out of love? with a home, and then use the inspection provisions as an excuse to cancel out after a couple of weeks (even if nothing is actually wrong with the home), totally destroying marketing momentum and dramatically extending the time on the market. Since we already provided the buyer with a Home Inspection and clear termite report up-front, Terry negotiated with the buyer to limit the reasons the buyer could cancel to serious home defects. So, again, I didn?t have to worry about my sale failing at the last minute, because we already knew that there were no serious home defects. I am so delighted! I had horrible visions of leaving my empty home behind, and then hassling with it for months, trying to sell an empty, unfurnished home, and paying the mortgage on it for months and months. Instead, it closed 12 days after I left, just as planned. I read the write-ups on other agents, and they really didn?t say much except that the agent was nice and the agent answered the sellers? emails. In my view, what that gets you is the 150+ day hassle that the other sellers in my complex obviously went through to sell. I have never seen anything like Terry?s totally proprietary end-to-end approach. His expertise got me the results I wanted in less than 1/3 the time and also gave me peace-of-mind and no showing hassles during the entire process. Terry went all out to get me a higher price than I expected, rather than taking the easier way of just meeting my expectations. He watched over my transaction like it was his own money on the table. Without a doubt, this is by far the best real estate experience I have ever had. I commend, with my very highest recommendation, Terry, Lauren and Hunter-Broker to anyone contemplating a move. On to Maine with a calm and peaceful mind!

"I signed a contract on the first week of June to have PIC Home ?Pros? remodel 3 bathrooms. They stayed for a week in the middle of September, and stopped coming, leaving a vanity in one bathroom, and a shower door in another bathroom completely uninstalled. On the last day here, I was told shower door still has not been manufactured yet, but would take a couple of weeks. They told me that it would cost $150 to have them come back to finish installation, even though contract was for them to complete the work. They ignored my emails to them, so after waiting for 3 weeks and receiving response to my email, I called them, and was told that the shower door is not ready, and even though it?s been 4 months since it was supposed to be ordered, there is still no ETA. I asked that they come back to install the vanity, since we still have no sink in one bathroom. I was told that would cost another $650 to come back and install it. They will work until they are paid in full, then abandon you. "

FAQs for residential design projects in Newburgh, ME
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The cost of home remodeling is $50,000 for the average homeowner. However, this cost can range anywhere from $3,000 for a small projectto $170,000 for a whole home remodel. Factors like project size, location, and room type all affect your overall cost. For example, bedroom remodeling costs are one of the least expensive projects, costing about $1,500 to $5,500 per bedroom. However, a kitchen remodel has a significant cost range, totaling anywhere from $14,500 to over $70,000.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
Yes, most states require home remodeling contractors to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed home remodeling contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The best time of year to remodel your home is late winter and early spring when fewer homeowners are thinking about projects and pros are more available. Also consider the type of remodel you want and plan ahead as much as possible. For example, the summer is a great time of year to update your fireplace, but winter is a better option for fixing foundations and building room additions.
