Description

In this episode, Dave and Sean discuss:

• Growing up in a hardware store and the transition from a handyman to a construction business. 
• Enjoying the improvement, not just improving to sell. 
• The typical timeline of a bathroom or kitchen remodel. 
• The best ROI return for a planned sale within two years. 

Key Takeaways:

• Construction is, first and foremost, a people business. The project only works if it is great for the homeowner. 
• For many people, their home is their largest asset. Like an asset, you want to make sure to take care of it and do the right thing for the home and area you’re in. 
• You don’t want to over improve. People often over improve on kitchens and bathrooms with speciality fixtures and appliances that may not be desired by the next owner. 
• Times and trends change in property improvement. The type of improvements you may want to do could be dependent on the area you are living in. 

"What we're looking at is what's good for the owner now and then what serves the use for potential buyers and what are they going to want to see in the open house." —  Sean Buino
