Description
Learn how to focus on improvements that will increase your home's value. Topics will include common home improvement myths, the impact of over-improving and pricing yourself out of your neighborhood, and how to tell your renovation story when it comes time to sell.
A
I'm
a
program
specialist
with
Bloomington
HRE
we
sponsor
do
so
I
get
to
introduce
our
speakers
tonight
and
I.
Think
you'll
find
they're
very
interesting.
They've
got
a
background
in
the
field.
I
have
to
say,
though,
the
longest
title
that
I've
ever
run
into
that
opportunity:
remodel
investment
back
when
you
sell
so.
A
Just
a
couple
of
notes
here
this
is,
there
are
a
few
treats
in
the
back
and
water
it
on
yourself.
There
are
two
programs
that
I
want
to
talk
about
briefly
real
quickly.
If
you
have
any
interest
in
trying
to
finance
any
home
improvements,
if
you
look
out
the
Bloomington
website,
we
have
a
rehab
loan
program
that
you
can
look
up
and
the
website.
A
And
there
are
keywords
for
that
and
then
also
the
summer
seminars
that
we
have
that's
also
on
our
website
too
for
future
ones.
We
have
one
in
June
one
of
July
one
in
August,
and
the
information
is
in
that
website.
Satyrs
put
the
keywords
in
and
I
can
find
out
more
about
those.
So
at
the
conclusion
we
will
draw
two
names
for
the
door
prize,
drawing
$25
gift
card
at
Home
Depot.
You
know
what
else
yeah
I
think
that
was
yeah.
C
A
A
B
Why
Mary?
This
is
Dan,
we
are
with
Edina
reality
and
we
are
a
husband
and
wife
team.
Dan
and
I
have
been
investors
for
13
years.
That's
how
we
started
out
investors
ourselves
working
with
investors
and
we
actually
have
renovated
homes.
We
did
our
own
home,
which
was
a
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollar
renovation.
B
We
started
it
and
the
recession
happened,
which
wasn't
good.
So
we
can
tell
you
some
of
our
stories,
which
we
we
probably
will
as
we
go
through
this
dan
and
I,
are
both
licensed
realtor
--zz
with
Edina
Realty.
We
work
out
of
the
Minnetonka
office,
but
we
service
all
of
the
twin
cities
and
we
are
sres
to
designate
it,
which
means
we
are
seniors.
B
Real
estate,
specialists,
dan
and
I
have
a
certain
portion
of
our
business
where
we
work
with
individuals,
55
plus
many
of
them
ask
us,
you
know
we're
gonna
downsize,
we're
gonna
be
snowbirds
whatever.
How
do
we
get
the
most
money
out
of
our
house?
Do
we
renovate
it?
Do
we
sell
it?
As
is
where
do
we
get
the
most
money?
So
we
do
this
very
frequently.
We
do
about
20
seminars.
A
years
every
year
on
different
topics,
this
being
one
of
them
and
we
really
enjoy
doing
this
one.
B
We
have
a
lot
of
information
to
give
you
so
we're
going
to
leave
probably
the
last
what
15
20
minutes
for
questions
for
you
guys.
So
if
you
have
a
question
jot
it
down,
so
we
can
kind
of
give
you
all
of
our
information
here,
and
we
certainly
will
get
well
have
plenty
of
time
to
answer
your
questions
as
well.
So
why
renovate
you're
gonna
find
I
use
a
remodeling
magazine
quite
a
bit.
They
do
quite
a
few
fun
surveys.
B
In
there
they
said
they
have
found
that
a
lot
of
people
renovate
maybe
like
you
to
sell
you-
want
to
generate
a
greater
demand
and
a
higher
price
for
your
home.
There's
a
trick
to
it,
though
you
get
some
good
return
on
some
things
and
some
things
it's
really
not
going
to
make
a
difference.
We're
going
to
talk
about
those
things
there's
another.
Maybe
some
people
here
that
want
to
enjoy
their
home.
Okay,
they're
not
really
looking
to
sell
it.
B
Maybe
they
want
to
add
some
more
square
footage
because
their
family
is
growing
one
great
way
to
do
that
is
to
buy
a
bigger
home
in
your
neighborhood.
Some
people
can't
afford
to
do
that,
but
to
add
on
square
footage
is
a
little
bit
more
reasonable
economically
and
they
can
stay
in
the
neighborhood
they
love,
so
they
want
to
know.
Is
it
worth
my
while
to
do
that?
And
so
we're
going
to
talk
about
that
too?
B
You
have
to
remember
that
I
know
the
luxury
stuff
is
the
fun
stuff,
but
if
you
don't
do
the
maintenance
stuff?
First,
it's
gonna
discredit
or
even
take
the
value
of
your
home
down.
When
you
do
renovate.
We
see
this
all
the
time
and
Dan
has
some
fun
really
good
pictures
to
show
you
on
that.
One
of
the
reasons
you
have
to
do
your
maintenance
first,
it
tends
to
be
costly,
is
like
I
said
it's
not
the
fun
stuff
to
do.
B
But
if
you're
gonna
sell
your
house
and
you
have
buyers
coming
and
there
is
a
lot
of
maintenance,
you
have
just
kind
of
lost
your
credibility
and
your
trust
in
your
home
they're,
going
if
I
have
to
replace
gutters
if
I
have
to
clean
up
all
the
shrubs.
If
there's
dry
water
stains
in
the
basement,
what
else
is
there
it's
very
crossly
and
nobody
knows
what
the
price
tag
is.
B
Okay,
it
discounts,
like
I,
said
the
quality
of
your
renovation,
we're
going
to
talk
about
best
renovations
and
how
to
get
the
biggest
bang
for
your
buck.
But
if
your
maintenance
isn't
done
you're
going
to
discount
that
quality
of
it,
we
talked
about
it
being
an
invisible
price
tag.
But
what
else
is
invisible
is
how
long
is
it
going
to
take?
Nobody
knows
it's
such
I
think
we
tend
to
think
this
is
maybe
a
bigger
project
than
it
is,
and
when
you
get
into
it,
you
find
out.
B
D
So
some
of
the
general
maintenance
that
you
need
to
do
is,
as
you
can
see,
the
picture
on
the
left.
This
is
not
a
place
for
a
garden.
Trust
me
that
is
the
gutters
that
you'll
notice,
the
ceiling
or
the
roof
is
mold
and
mildew.
Ii
you'll
notice
that
there's
shrubs
growing
in
the
gutters
and
also
you'll
notice
that
there's
mud
that's
over
the
top
of
the
gutters
trust
me.
We
do
see
this
more
often
than
you
would
think
when
that
happens.
Obviously
that's
general
maintenance
and
it
hasn't
been
done.
D
The
second
part
of
this
is
when
the
water
comes
down
alongside
of
the
house.
Where
does
it
going
to
go?
It's
going
to
go
right
in
the
basement
and,
as
you
can
see,
the
the
ceiling
and
the
basement
is
now
stained
again
if
someone
were
to
come
through
the
home
at
this
point
in
time,
the
these
are
the
hidden
costs,
there's
more
to
it
than
just
that
there
could
be
mold
and
mildew
up
above
the
ceiling
tiles
that
are
there.
The
problem
that
you
have
is
again
the
invisible
price
tag
that
Mary
mentioned.
D
D
They
would
just
take
a
look
at
this
home
and
go
let's
just
keep
going
I,
don't
even
want
to
go
in
so
again
and
we'll
talk
about
curb
appeal
in
later
on
in
this
program
as
well.
So
there's
there's
a
some
other
items
there
that
return
on
general
maintenance.
Now
I'm
going
to
take
a
couple
of
them.
The
windows
there's
several
things
that
when
people
go
through
a
home,
they
ask
questions.
One
of
them
is
Windows
you're
gonna
get
for
the
money
you
spend
about
60
to
70
percent
back
on
your
windows.
D
The
other
thing
is:
is
that
a
roof?
So
if
you
look
at
a
home
and
they
want
to
buy
your
home
and
it
has
a
bad
roof
like
we
saw
in
the
previous
picture-
they're
gonna
come
up
with
a
dollar
amount,
let's
say
ten
or
fifteen
thousand
dollars.
Well,
if
you
spent
ten
thousand
and
you
get
forty
nine
percent
back
on
that
roof,
it's
only
a
five
thousand
dollar
discount.
As
far
as
that
goes
so,
you've
got
to
kind
of
understand
that
a
nice
roof
a
good
roof.
D
That's
do
that
that
it
needs
and
you're
waiting
for
insurance
to
maybe
condemn
it
so
that
you
don't
have
to
pay
for
it
and
now
you're
selling
your
home
and
you
the
roof,
still
is
looking
the
way
it
does.
You'll,
probably
it's
easier
and
cheaper
for
you
to
put
a
new
roof
on
it,
and
then
you
get
49%
back
on
your
return
so
and
there's
other
areas
in
there
that
you
can
get.
But
the
windows
and
the
roof
are
the
two
biggest
things
that
you
could
take.
A
look
at
one.
B
Thing
about
the
roof,
I,
don't
know.
If
anybody
has
seen
this,
we
kind
of
ran
across
this
the
last
couple
of
years.
People
have
a
good
roof,
but
have
you
seen
them
when
they
get
streak
it
or
they
they
look,
not
that
great
anymore
or
they
get
kind
of
musty?
Is
it
an
acid-wash?
What
is
it
cause?
It's.
B
Shampoo
on
it
makes
them
look
brand-new
yeah
fact:
we
have
inspectors
going
up
on
roofs
that
are
maybe
eight
nine
ten
years
old
and
they'll
say.
Is
this
a
brand
new
roof?
So
if
it's
in
good
shape,
it
does
cost
a
couple
grand
right
yep,
it's
not
cheap
to
do,
but
it's
a
good
return
if
you're,
just
thinking
I
should
replace
it
because
it's
streak
adore
it's
a
little
musty.
It's
a
lot
cheaper
to
do
this
shampooing.
B
D
This
is
all
general
maintenance.
If
you
do
the
general
maintenance,
someone
coming
through
your
home
will
look
at
it
and
go
I.
Don't
have
to
worry
about
this
I.
Don't
have
to
worry
about
that
now.
I
can
start
thinking
about
where
my
furniture
is
going
to
go.
What
colors
I'm
going
to
paint
the
walls,
how
the
carpet
looks
and
not
have
to
worry
about
fixing
something
before
I
even
decide
to
do
the
improvements
that
I
want
to
do.
Okay,
so.
B
As
we
go
through
this
we're
going
to
give
you
some
returns
on
your
investment,
what
you
can
expect
to
get
we're
getting
this
information,
and
it's
in
here
it's
on
cost
versus
value,
and
this
is
the
2018.
It
is
a
free
website
and
you
can
actually
Zone
in
go
to
Minnesota.
Once
you
get
into
Minnesota,
you
can
go
to
Twin,
Cities
or
Minneapolis,
and
you
can
zero
down.
They
do
these
surveys
on
cost
versus
value
in
your
neighborhood.
What
kind
of
investment
are
you
getting
in
Bloomington
or
Prior,
Lake
or
wherever
it
is?
B
It's
a
very
good
resource?
We
use
it
quite
a
bit,
so
the
website
is
up
there
for
you.
If
you
want
to
check
it
out
before
you
do
it,
but
the
numbers
were
giving
you
we're
getting
it
from
the
cost
versus
value
and
some
of
the
surveys
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
here,
we're
getting
from
the
remodeling
magazine,
which
is
also
a
very
great
resource
for
you,.
D
D
Now,
if
you
have
a
larger
kitchen
and
you
do
a
larger
renovation-
and
you
add
a
lot
of
the
amenities
like
granite,
countertops
and
and
new
cabinets
completely
top
and
bottom
and
stainless
steel
and
wood
floors
and
all
that
you're
going
to
spend
forty
to
seventy
thousand
dollars,
but
you're
only
going
to
get
fifty
five
percent
out
of
that.
What's
so
special
about
kitchens
kitchens
are
the
are
the
most
popular
room
in
the
house.
It's
the
room
that
everybody
uses.
D
D
So
my
kitchen,
my
rules,
you
have
to
be
realistic.
If
you
want
to
stay
within
the
under
the
$15,000,
you
got
to
make
sure
you
start
a
budget
be
realistic.
Now,
as
far
as
the
counters
are
concerned,
shop
around
there's
a
lot
of
deals
out
there
and
there
you
don't
always
have
to
use
granite.
You
can
use
soapstone.
D
You
can
use
concrete
that
looks
like
granite.
You
can
use
the
you
can
paint
them
if
you'd,
like
the
counters
itself,
there's
a
special
paint
cabinetry.
You
can
compare
what
types
of
woods
you
want
to
use.
Maybe
you
don't
want
to
go
ahead
and
and
completely
redo
your
whole
kitchen,
so
you
might
want
to
do
just
door
fronts.
Maybe
change,
maybe
hinges
and
or
door
stops
or
door
pulls
in
drawer
pulls
as
well
most
desirable
flooring.
Right
now
is
tongue
and
groove
wood.
D
B
Of
the
things
with
kitchens
now,
when
we
especially
are
Millennials
when
we
take
them
out,
they
want
the
open-concept
okay,
they
want,
they
want
to
get
rid
of
all
the
walls.
When
Dan
and
I
renovated
our
house.
That's
what
we
did.
We
have
really
a
very
basic
house
split
entry.
You
either
go
up
or
down.
When
you
walk
in
the
house
very
common
house,
everybody
seen
we
had
a
living
room,
a
dining
room
in
the
kitchen,
and
we
took
the
wall
out
and
opened
it
all
out.
B
B
So
you
got
a
came
to
think
you
know
a
kitchen
renovation
isn't
necessarily
cabinets
and
countertops.
There
is
some
construction
you're
moving
electrical
you're,
moving
cold
air
vents,
we
put
a
center
island
in
the
middle
and
you
know
so
there
is
some
construction
goes
on.
If
you
go
that
big
of
a
project
but
remember
the
higher
and
you'll
find
this
as
we
both
talk,
the
higher
the
most
you
go
in
you're
remodeling,
your
return
on
investments
going
to
start
dropping
okay.
B
So
if
you
can
do
a
really
nice
renovation
for
a
lower
amount,
you're
gonna
get
a
greater
return.
So
if
you
can
paint
cupboards-
or
you
can
put
some
nice
molding
around
them,
crown
molding
concrete
I,
don't
know.
Is
anybody
here,
seeing
concrete
countertops
they're
about
half
the
price
of
granite
and
they
look
just
like
granite
they're,
very,
very
nice.
A
B
My
daughter
actually
did
it
actually
I
did
it
for
her
cuz
I
said:
hey
I'm
gonna
see
how
this
works.
She
goes
knock
yourself
out,
of
course,
since
I
was
paying
for
it
right
and
she's
had
at
how
many
years,
four
yeah
four
years
and
I
bet
I,
do
more
maintenance
on
my
granite
than
she
does
on
her
concrete
mm-hmm,
then
they're
lovely
they
really
are
very,
very
nice.
So
there
are
some
great
things,
but
just
remember
the
more
you
spend
your
return
on.
Investment
will
drop
okay,
so
the
other
ones
are
bathrooms.
B
In
our
house
we
had
two
bad
bathrooms
up
and
two
bathrooms
down,
and
one
may
I'm
sorry,
two
bedrooms
up
two
bedrooms
down
in
one
main
bathroom:
okay,
what
we
did
and
I
wouldn't
recommend
this.
Unless
you
are
going
to
stay
long-term
in
your
house,
there
is
a
value
for
remodeling,
your
house,
so
you
can
enjoy
it
and
we
kind
of
talked
about
this.
Okay,
we
took
the
two
bedrooms
upstairs
and
made
a
mess.
You're
sweet,
so
we
added
a
master
bedroom.
B
Dan
Lynch
is
swept
to
the
mix
inside
here.
You
know
you
look
at
Maine.
Look
versus
a
master
bedroom
dan
and
I
sold
the
house
last
summer
for
six
hundred
thousand
in
tyrol
Hills.
It
was
a
little
house,
but
it
was
a
million-dollar
neighborhood.
It
had
no
master
bedroom.
Would
anybody
here
buy
a
six
hundred
thousand
dollar
house
with
no
master
bathroom,
no
master
suite
just
a
mess?
Just
it
had
a
big
master
bedroom,
but
no
bathroom
in
there.
That
was
a
really
hard
hard
sale.
B
It
was
on
the
market
over
a
year
and
our
biggest
complaint
is
if
I'm
spending
$600
I
want
a
master
bath.
Okay,
that
house
they
would
have
got
a
hundred
percent
if
they
would
have
put
a
master
bathroom
in
their
suite
dan
and
I
eliminated
a
bedroom
on
the
main
level
and
made
a
huge
master
suite.
Okay.
Can
anybody
see
where
that
would
be
a
problem.
B
You
got
it,
nobody
wants
to
put
their
babies
or
toddlers
downstairs.
I
mean
we
eliminated
a
whole
audience
with.
We
were
thinking
of
sailing
Sally,
but
we're
empty
nesters,
and
actually,
when
our
kids
come
home,
we
want
them
downstairs,
shut
the
door
and
you
know
so,
for
our
lifestyle.
It
was
great.
We
also
entertained
quite
a
bit
and
have
guests
over
and
we
even
occasionally
get
clients
that
are
stuck
in
between
a
sale
and
purchase,
and
we
let
them
stand
in
our
home.
B
We
have
a
very
nice
finished
basement
so
that
it
for
our
lifestyle
is
very,
very
nice
and
we
did
it
because
we
were
planning
on
staying.
If
we
were
gonna
sell
our
house,
that
would
not
have
been
a
good
idea
to
do
because
you
eliminate
a
big
population.
So
do
you
do
a
main
go
back
then?
Do
you
do
a
main,
or
do
you
do
a
master
if
you
have
a
small
space
to
add
a
master
bathroom?
B
This
is
what
remodeling
Magazine
said
from
a
survey
put
in
a
shower,
because
there
are
more
shower
people
than
there
are
bathtub
people.
Let's
see,
if
that's
true,
how
many
shower
people
do
we
have
here,
how
many
bathtub
people
do
we
have
here?
You
me
I,
won't
give
up
my
bathtub
reader
till
we
do
two,
but
the
most
of
the
population,
as
you
can
see
here,
would
prefer
a
shower.
B
So
if
you're
limited
on
space
put
a
shower
a
stool
and
a
sink
okay,
if
you
have
to
add
in
you're
limited
on
space,
that's
a
great
thing
to
do.
The
other
thing
is:
if
you
only
have
one
bathroom
instead
of
updating
that
bathroom
you're
further
ahead
of
adding
a
second
bathroom
somewhere
in
your
basement,
maybe
that
smaller
master,
something
you'll
get
a
bigger
return
on
your
money.
B
If
you
can
add
one
instead
of
updating
the
only
one
that
you
have
okay,
so
the
bathrooms
are
very
good
I
think
we
talked
about
in
the
slide
before.
Was
it
8
to
15
on
a
bathroom
you'll
get
86
percent
return
on
your
investment.
Now,
if
you
go
up
and
start
doing
those
big
master
bathrooms
with
the
jacuzzis
and
the
showers
and
the
double
sinks
and
the
heated
floors,
your
your
returns
going
to
drop
a
little
bit
because
you're
spending
more
money.
Okay,.
D
They
allow
a
lot
of
light
and
the
outdoors
in
it
can
be
a
little
expensive,
because
windows
are
not
cheap
and,
and
the
other
thing
is,
is
that
you're
taking
up
part
of
the
backyard
or
side
yard
or
part
of
the
play
area
in
the
backyard
of
your
family?
And
if
you
decide
you
want
to
sell
the
home
after
a
lengthy
time
and
you
and
it's
big
enough
to
have
a
family
in
there
with
younger
kids,
younger
kids
will
want
to
be
able
to
play
in
the
backyard.
D
D
It
serves
as
a
an
office,
it's
served
as
a
bedroom,
but
it's
also
served
as
an
area
where
we
could
put
a
jacuzzi
tub
in
there
and
it's
all
ready
to
go
as
far
as
when
we
did
our
renovations
that
that
room
can
be
used
as
any
one
of
those
three
and
has
been
used
as
any
one
of
those
three
items.
So
a
thousand,
if
you
add
a
thousand
square
feet,
you're
gonna,
add
about
thirty
percent
value
to
your
home
and
also,
if
you
have
second
garage
stall.
So
a
lot
of
times.
D
D
Let's
say
you
decide
to
put
a
patio
outside,
you
got
to
remember
that
it's
going
to
take
up
some
of
the
back
yard
and
their
patios
are
great
and
the
people
like
the
barbecue
sit
outside
and
have
the
family
I'll
eat
outside
or
any
function
that
you
want
out
there,
which
is
great.
But
the
problem
also
is
is
that
we
are
in
Minnesota
and
it
and
the
season
can
be
short
and
it
can
be
cold,
and
that
is
is
a
seasonal
use
on
that
regard.
But
again
it's
going
to
take
up
part
of
your
backyard.
D
So
if
you
have
a
large
backyard,
maybe
though
some
of
these
amenities
to
add
on
more
space
to
your
home
would
be
advantageous
invitation,
but
if
they
have
a
small
yard-
and
you
want,
you
might
want
to
tone
down
the
size
of
those
and
still
be
able
to
allow
a
family
to
move
in
when
you
decide
to
sell
and
still
have
part
of
the
backyard
for
them
to
play.
Okay,
actually,.
B
Son
rooms
for
seasoned
porches
are
hot.
No
people
really
want
those
right
off.
Like
your
kitchen
or
off
a
family
room,
I
would
say
they're,
saying
70%
on
here
from
what
Dan
and
I
are
seeing.
I
would
say:
that's
even
higher
return
on
your
investment
because
P
it's
it's
at
its
face,
but
you're
not
sending
the
kids
downstairs
or
you
have
to
do
stairs
to
go
to
a
family
room.
B
You
got
that
four
season
porch
you
got
that
TV
room
whatever
you
want
to
use
it
on
the
main
level
and
it's
just
becoming
more
and
more
desirable
in
homes.
So
I
would
almost
just
from
what
we're
seeing
I
would
say.
The
seventy
percent
return
is
probably
a
lower
I
would
say.
Maybe
up
to
eighty
percent.
Okay,
get
on
that.
D
B
Appeal
now,
Dan
talked
about
curb
appeal,
being
maintenance,
general
maintenance.
At
the
front
we
talked
about
the
eight
second
rule
when
people
drive
by
they
kind
of
decide
in
eight
seconds.
Do
I
want
to
go
in
or
not
curb
appeal
does
fall
under
general
maintenance
and
it
can
be
costly
rule
of
thumb.
Is
you
never
spend
more
than
10%
of
the
value
of
your
home?
So
if
you
have
a
$300,000
home,
your
max
would
be
30,000
and
some
people
go
well.
That's
a
lot.
Landscaping
is
costly.
B
There's
some
things
you
can
do
that
are
not
so
costly,
just
really
putting
the
flowers
and
the
color
and
trimming
your
shrubs
front.
Doors
are
huge.
You
see
these
colorful
front
doors,
we
have
one
in
our
neighborhood,
that's
a
bright
yellow,
it
is
just
gorgeous
and
it
goes
great
with
the
brick
they
have
on
their
house.
It
is
just
stunning
every
time
I
go
by
it.
I
just
oh
I,
just
I
have
never
seen
those
colors
match,
and
it
is
it's
stunning,
but
there
are
simple
things
you
can
do
with
flowers
with
the
shrubs.
B
If
you
have
a
fence
around
your
backyard,
like
the
wooden
kind,
make
sure
it's
sturdy,
it
is
straight,
it
is
either
painted,
or
you
know,
power-washed
or
something.
Those
are
really
really
huge.
When
you
get
into
the
money
it's
putting
in
the
patios,
it's
putting
in
those
brick
retaining
walls,
have
you
seen
those
really
or
some
people
will
stamp
their
driveways
or
stamp
their
sidewalks?
To
tell
you
the
truth,
if
you're,
not
in
a
neighborhood,
where
that's
customary
and
you
see
it
first
of
all,
those
things
are
costly
and
they
are.
B
They
are
very
appealing,
but
it's
kind
of
like
if
you're
in
a
maybe
a
low,
200,
neighborhood,
you're,
probably
not
gonna,
see
granite,
countertops
and
you're,
probably
not
gonna,
see
stamped
driveways,
you
know,
so
you
want
to
be
realistic,
but
that's
where
those
those
dollar
amounts
come
up,
curb
appeal:
we
have
50%
there.
I
would
say
you
can
get
almost
up
to
a
hundred
percent
of
your
investment
on
landscaping.
If
you
do
it
tastefully
to
your
neighborhood,
it
is,
it
is
huge.
So
curb
appeal
is
a
great
thing
to
to
make
an
investment
in
so.
D
I'm
going
to
talk
about
bacter
myth
question:
is
there
any
remodel?
Is
a
good
one,
not
always
be
careful
that
you
don't
get
too
creative,
remember
I,
said
stay
with
a
budget.
If
you
don't
stay
with
a
budget,
it
can
get
away
from
you
very
very
quickly
because
one
thing
only
to
another
to
another,
and
then
you
go
boy.
This
is
gonna,
be
great
and
in
your
head,
you're
thinking
I
just
have
to
do
two
more
things,
and
this
is.
This
will
be
great.
D
D
We
had
a
person
that
renovated
their
home
and
and
when
we
went
to
show
it
to
a
buyer,
they
said
the
guy.
The
owner
was
there
and
said,
make
sure
you
check
out
the
trophy
room,
so
I'm
thinking
this
guy
must
be
some
type
of
an
athlete
and
he's
got
some
some
major
trophies
that
he's
done,
whether
it's
bowling
or
golfing
or
what-have-you.
No,
no,
no,
no
big
game
trophies
and
and
the
room
was
made
so
that
you
could
view
them
from
the
main
level
over
the
into
the
balcony
down
below
and
then.
D
Oh,
it
was
unbelievable
and
I,
and
that
turned
our
buyer
off.
If
that,
what
would
out
what
else
would
you
do
with
that
room?
That
was
the
problem.
So
again
he
decided
that
was
his
thing.
He
spent
a
lot
of
money
for
his
trophies
and
now
he's
selling
it
and
those
trophies
are
going
to
be
gone
and
I
knew
owners.
Gonna
have
to
figure
out
what
am
I
gonna
do
with
this
room.
So
again
that
was
a
lot
of
it
was
very
costly.
D
So
you
got
to
be
careful
that
you
don't
do
any
odd
upgrades
just
make
sure
that
it's
neutral
it's
appealing
and
it's
not
just
singled
out
what
you're
going
to
do,
but
it
can
be
like
a
bonus
room.
We
have
a
bonus
room
that
has
three
different
ways
in
which
you
can
use
it.
Think
about
that
as
well,
so
that
you
can
actually
use
those
rooms
when
you
sell
the
home
and
make
it
usable
for
somebody
else
and.
B
Unless
you're
going
to
stay
in
your
home
long
term
up
to
ten
years,
you
certainly
can
do
this,
but
when
you
do
it
think
about
how
can
I
reverse
it
when
I
sell
it?
Okay,
what
other
purpose
can
it
serve?
We
do
what
are
called
home
highlights
when
we
sell
a
house.
We
have
home,
highlight
cards,
saying
this
room
would
be
great
for
for
people
who
can't
imagine
so,
just
if
it's
okay
to
get
creative,
it's
for
you
and
you're
going
to
enjoy
it
yourself,
but
just
remember
someday
you're
going
to
sell
it.
D
Can
I
do
the
renovation
myself
I
am
guilty
as
charged.
We
as
Mary
mentioned,
we
did
our
own
home
renovation,
I
general
contracted
it
myself
and
I
will
be
honest
with
you
unless
you're
a
general
contractor
or
a
trades
professional.
You
probably
can't,
for
example,
I
took
on
a
project
in
our
home
that
I
thought
you
know.
I
had
not
done
it
before,
but
I
felt.
D
Maybe
I
can
do
this
and
I
got
into
pretty
deep
into
the
project
and
realized
that
this
was
way
bigger
than
I
could
handle
and
way
bigger
than
then
the
finished
product
and
how
far
I
had
to
go
to
get
there,
and
so
I
I
wanted
to
save
money
and
I
thought.
Well.
I
can
do
this
myself
when
in
essence,
it
would
have
been
cheaper
for
me
and
I'll
admit
it
to
get
a
general
contractor
with
a
subcontractor
and
do
the
job
and
I
wouldn't
have
to
deal
with
it.
B
I
love
telling
the
stories
I'll
tell
the
story
not
to
embarrass
him.
It's
really
a
quick
story
when
we
put
it
in
our
master
bedroom.
Our
bathroom
I
wanted
heated
floors
and
Dan
said
how
hard
could
that
be?
You
put
while
you're
down
you
throw
some
floor
leveling
down
and
then,
when
that
dries,
you
put
the
tile
on
top
of
it.
It's
not
that
tough
Mary
I
can
do
it.
He's
never
done
it
before,
but
he
could
do
it,
and
actually
he
really
did
do
a
good
job.
B
But
when
he
put
the
wiring
down,
he
read
up
on
how
to
do
it
and
we
put
floor
leveler
and
the
wires
popped
up
over
the
floor
leveler,
and
that
can't
happen
so
I'm
in
the
jacuzzi
bathtub
with
sticks,
trying
to
hold
it
down
until
they
dry
right
and
I
did
a
pretty
good
job.
But
then,
when
Dan
laid
the
tile
when
a
couple
of
spots
we
walked
on
it
and
we
bought
very
expensive
custom
tiles.
They
cracked,
because
those
wires
were
not
underneath
the
leveler
to
replace
those
was
very
costly.
Okay
and
it
was.
E
D
D
This
will
this
will
give
you
an
idea.
The
pools
add
value,
no,
they
don't,
and
but
there
are
some
advantages
when
I
get
to
the
bottom
of
this
one.
This
slide,
you'll
you'll,
see
where
they
are
Minnesota
season
is
very
short
for
a
pool
a
lot
of
times.
If
you
have
a
pool
party,
that
pool
party
ends
up
to
be
spilling
over
into
the
later
hours
and
there's
a
lot
of
splashing
and
jumping
and
hollering
and
playing
games,
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
D
It
tends
to
get
a
little
noisy
and,
of
course,
you
got
to
respect
the
neighbors,
so
there's
also
liabilities
what
higher
insurance
rate,
etc.
It
also
the
cost
involved.
You
have
a
heater
and
a
pump
and
that's
got
to
go
constantly
and
you
got
a
fence
around
the
yard
for
security
and
insurance
is
higher
and
also
you
know,
you've
just
in
general,
the
water
to
fill
it
etc.
So
they're
very
high
maintenance.
D
B
A
pool
out
is
about
twenty
thousand
dollars.
If
somebody
buys
your
house,
they
love
your
house,
but
we're
gonna.
Take
it
out
twenty
thousand
dollars
and
they're
probably
gonna,
lower
your
asking
price
I'm.
Sorry
pond
people
who
just
don't
like
water
for
kids
or
whatever
will
stay
away
from
them.
I
will
say
ponds,
kind
of
have
the
taste
of
a
lake
without
the
taxes
but
you're
not
going
to
fish
or
ski
or
whatever
pond
seemed
to
be
a
little
more
desire.
One
thing
is
you
can
landscape
them
very
nicely?
B
You
can
put
those
fountains
in
it
to
put
oxygen
back
into
the
water
to
eliminate
the
green
and
the
weeds
and
stuff.
You
can
have
a
you
know
the
goldfish
and
turtles
and
whatnot
in
there.
So
there
I
would
say
they
are
more
appealing.
I
would
say
and
correct
me
if
you're
wrong
if
I'm
wrong
Dan.
If
we
are
pricing
out
a
house
with
eight
a
nice
pond
as
a
view,
I
would
up
it
probably
about
eight
ten
thousand
yeah.
D
B
Pool
a
pool
is
going
to
cost
you
between
thirty
and
fifty
thousand.
To
put
in
in
your
return
is
zero
is
zero,
but
if
you're
going
to
stay
there
for
ten
or
twelve
years,
you
have
teenagers,
you
want
them
home.
You
want
to
know
where
their
kit,
you,
your
kids,
are
their
friends.
Are.
There
is
value
in
you
enjoying
your
home.
There
really
is.
D
B
D
About
how
about
avocado
green
appliances,
harvest
gold
about
the
olive
I
have
a
house
for
sale
that
has
olive
green
carpeting
from
back
in
1966
it's
wool
and
we
had
a
gentleman
come
in
and
take
a
look
at
the
house
and
he
goes.
They
don't
make
carpet
like
this
anymore
and
it's
still
in
there,
and
it's
still,
if
you
know,
but
again,
it's
the
sculptured
green,
all
green
carpeting.
What
happens
when
it
becomes
outdated?
D
A
price
tag:
it's
a
burden,
they
gotta
remove
it.
What's
underneath
that
flooring
is
that
hardwood
floors
and
what
condition
is
that
are
the
hardwood
floors,
so
you've
got
to
remember
and
any
renovation
that
you
do
decide
to
do.
How
long
is
that
renovation
gonna
be
gonna
last
before
you
have
to
do
it
again,
so
go
neutral
neutral.
Yes,
absolutely.
B
Okay,
so
quickly,
I'm
just
going
to
talk
about,
we
talked
about
renovating
your
house,
but
as
these
renovations,
true
in
every
single
house,
you
know,
isn't
your
renovation
or
is
it
your
neighborhood
which
which
really
plays
out
here,
something
before
you
ever
ever
start
a
renovation
know
your
current
value
of
your
home?
That
is
your
starting
point
and
the
second
place
is
know
the
value
of
the
homes
in
your
neighborhood.
That
is
your
cap.
Okay,
the
third
thing
you
want
to
know
am
I
going
to
stay
there
and
enjoy
it
for
a
good
10
years.
B
Am
I
renovating
now
to
sell
soon
or
within
the
next
five
years?
It's
a
really
important
thing
to
know
and
the
quality
of
your
renovation
remember
if
they
general
maintenance
is
done,
and
people
see
this,
the
the
gutters
and
the
stain
that
we
showed
you
they're
not
looking
at
your
granite
they're,
not
looking
at
your
really
pretty
hardwood
floors,
they're
looking
at
what
is
all
this
going
to
cost
me?
Okay,
so
the
quality
of
your
renovation
is
huge.
So,
let's
talk
about
go
the
next
bite,
knowing
the
current
value
of
your
home.
B
B
What
they
will
do
is
they'll
kind
of
compare
apples
to
apples
in
your
neighborhood,
but
they'll
also
tell
you
some
other
things.
They
will
tell
you
what
the
value
of
the
homes
in
your
neighborhood
are.
Some
people
say
and
I
don't
know
if
you've
done
this,
have
you
gone
on
Zillow
and
say:
oh
I
can
just
click
on
the
houses
and
it
will
tell
me
the
value
of
the
neighbors.
Those
aren't
real
values.
B
B
Sometimes
they
will
take
homes
that
sold
four
or
five
years
ago
and
take
the
value
okay.
They
don't
have
the
appreciation
in
them.
So
you
really
truly
want
to
know
what
your
neighborhood
is,
and
this
is
why
there
are
two
principles
you
everybody
should
remember.
If
you're
going
to
remodel,
it's
called
regression
and
progression
regression
says
the
lower
price
homes
will
pull
down
the
value
of
higher
price
homes.
So
let's
say
there
is
in
a
couple
blocks:
you
have
what
maybe
3040
houses
right
and
let's
pretend
you're
the
top
dog
you're
at
500,000.
B
Okay,
that's
the
value
of
your
house,
but
everybody
else
around.
You
is
maybe
three
and
a
quarter:
349
395,
425
479,
but
you're.
The
only
one
up
here
at
five
hundred
okay,
do
not
renovate
you're
capped,
you're,
not
going
all
the
numbers.
We
told
you,
you
would
get
an
investment,
a
return
on.
You
won't
get
it.
You
are
the
top
dog.
All
these
other
houses
below
you
are
pulling
your
values
down.
B
B
Okay,
there's
a
couple
below
you
and
there's
some
four
and
a
quarters:
449
s,
479
s
a
500
you're
in
a
good
spot,
because
when
you
renovate
you're
gonna
get
those
values,
we
told
you,
because
these
other
houses
are
pulling
your
value
up.
We
call
it
you're
holding
your
value.
This
is
the
principal's
flippers
look
at
when
they
renovate
a
house.
B
Okay,
that's
how
they
determine
how
much
they're
gonna
spend
on
a
house,
so
the
current
value
and
that's
how
they
know
how
much
money
they
can
put
into
a
house
and
still
get
a
return
on
their
investment.
Does
that
make
sense?
Okay,
when
somebody
does
a
CMA,
the
comparison
is
always
in
your
neighborhood.
We
usually
start
out
at
a
quarter
of
a
mile.
B
We
can
go
out
to
a
whole
mile
if
we
can't,
if
you
have
a
really
unique
house,
if
you
live
in
an
association,
a
townhouse,
there's
300
townhouses,
that's
your
apples,
we're
comparing
to
those
townhouses
in
your
Association.
If
you're
in
a
condo,
we
did
one
this
last
summer
and
the
lady
said
to
us,
you
could
stand
on
her
patio
look
across
the
street
in
the
condo
cos.
The
street
was
about
50,000
more
than
hers,
and
she
says
why
is
mine
50,000
less?
Well,
they
have
fireplaces,
they
have
an
indoor
pool.
B
You
have
an
outdoor
pool
there
about
10
years,
newer,
we're
not
comparing
apples
to
apples.
It's
your
building,
if
you're
in
a
condo,
where
you
get
your
comps
from
timeframe.
This
is
a
seller's
market.
So
we're
like
3
months
out.
You
don't
want
to
go
any
further
out
because
prices
are
going
up
up
up
up
up
and
you
want
to
capture
the
highest
price
when
you're
doing
a
comprehensive,
a
market
on
your
house
when
you're
renovating.
This
is
a
really
good
rule.
B
Let's
take
that
neighborhood
we
talked
about
and
let's
say,
all
those
prices
you're
somewhere
between
250
and
the
350
group.
Okay,
if
you
took
the
average
right
at
300,
we
would
say:
go
10%
above
that
so
330
as
prices
are.
If
you
have
a
really
nice
house
affordable
in
a
good
area,
you're
gonna
go
into
multiples,
you
have
little
room
for
Europe
being
pushed
up.
Let
let
the
market
push
your
price
up
and
you
can
still
get
it
appraised.
Okay.
So
that
is
a
really
good
rule
of
thumb.
D
So
the
housing
market
right
now
a
buyers
versus
seller's
market.
Does
anybody
know
what
type
of
a
market
we're
in
right
now
seller's
market?
That's
correct!
So,
on
the
lower
part
here,
seller's
market,
the
inventories
are
low
and
multiple
offers
and
bidding
wars.
When
a
house
goes
up
for
sale
right
now,
an
average
time
if
it's
priced
right
and
in
good
shape,
lasts
about
an
hour
a
day.
I've
had
them
as
fast
as
four
hours.
D
Some
are
on
the
market
still
for
like
three
or
four
days
and
there's
a
lot
of
traffic
and
the
price
goes
up.
Okay,
so
that's
that's
a
seller's
market.
A
buyers
market
is
more
in
the
winter
months.
Let's
say:
November
December
January
when
it's
really
cold.
Nobody
wants
to
move
in
those
times
and
there's
a
lot.
There's
inventory
out
there.
So
if
you're
interested
and
want
to
get
a
good
deal,
they
move
a
little
slower.
D
Inventories
are
high,
the
buyers
can
be
picky,
they
can
look
at
a
house
and
maybe
four
or
five
days
later.
Let's
go
take
another
look
at
that
house
and
see
where
they're
at
with
it
there's
a
lot
of
time
and
a
lot
of
room
that
they
have
remodeled
homes
that
are
priced
right
and
in
high
demand
in
your
neighborhood
or
a
neighborhood.
D
B
If
you're,
renovating
and
you're
looking
to
sell,
I
would
say
late
March
to
about
early
October
is
where
you're
going
to
get
the
sellers
market
and
the
higher
prices
and
they'll
sell
faster.
You
probably
want
to
renovate
over
the
winter
months.
Okay,
just
if
you
want
to
do
your
planning
for
renovations.
D
About
the
quality
of
the
renovation
I,
like
I,
said,
I
took
on
a
job
that
in
my
home
that
I,
perhaps
probably
shouldn't
have
done
poor
renovations.
The
buyer
comes
through
the
house,
they
take
a
look
at
it
and
they-
and
somebody
says
oh
we've
got
new
this
or
new.
That,
and
this
has
been
done
and
that's
been
done
and
all
I
have
to
do
is
look
at
it
and
if
they're
high
quality
standards
are
up
here
and
the
renovation
is
down
here,
first
thing
they'll
say
is
well.
They
did
this
wrong.
D
That
wrong
I
would
have
to
tear
this
all
out
and
redo
it,
and-
and
you
don't
want
that
and
then,
of
course,
it
makes
the
home
feel
like
it's
overpriced.
If
I
have
to
do
that,
what
are
the,
as
we
said
before
the
other
hidden
costs
that
are
involved
and
it
scares
buyers.
It's
like
you
know,
I'm
gonna,
you
know
they
lose
interest
and
they
want
to
move
on
the
quality
of
renovation.
If
it's
good,
it's
going
to
set
your
place
apart
from
the
rest
of
the
market.
D
The
second
thing
is
it's
going
to
justify
what
the
price
is,
that
you
have
it
set
at
and
number
three
it's
going
to
give
them
peace
of
mind,
Wow,
they
walk
in
the
door.
This
looks
good.
That
looks
good.
We
had
a
house
that
I
showed
buyers
through
there
were
others
right
behind.
This
is
the
second
time
they've
even
looked
at
it
that
were
the
buyers
behind
us
and
we
walked
through
it
and
there
wasn't
anything
that
you
had
to
do.
The
paint
was
good.
D
The
carpets
were
clean,
the
countertops
were
were
very
decluttered,
the
rooms
you
opened
him
up.
Everything
was
just
really
nice
in
there
and
these
people
came
behind
us.
They
had
already
been
through
at
once.
It's
only
been
on
the
market
one
day,
so
they
came
earlier
that
day
now
they're
coming
later
on
in
that
after
and
to
take
a
look
at
it
because
it
was,
it
had
all
the
things
that
one
would
want.
B
So
here's
a
couple
things
you
can
do
before
you
renovate
we
have
people
say
this
is
really
great
Mary,
but
how
am
I
going
to
know
my
current
value?
My
neighborhood,
you
know
my
average
days
in
the
markets.
Many
realtors
will
do
that,
even
if
you
say,
I
am
not
selling
today
I'm
not
selling
for
three
years,
but
I'm,
renovating
and
I
need
to
do
this.
Some
people
think
oh
real
interests.
Don't
want
to
be
bothered.
B
Ask
them,
because
that
is
where
you're
really
going
to
get
your
best
information
and
many
many
Realtors
that
you
help
dan
and
I
know
this.
Even
if
we
do
this
for
you
and
you're
not
willing
to
sell
and
you
will
get
satisfactory
service
for
us
for
free,
you
probably
will
refer
us
to
a
friend,
okay,
so
really
don't
feel
like
you're
inconveniencing
any
realtor.
By
asking
this
information,
you
really
need
to
know
this
information
to
get
it
done.
B
One
other
thing
you
can
ask
realtor
is
to
do
so.
Let's
say
your
house
is
250
and
when
you're
done
it's
going
to
be
three
and
a
quarter.
Okay,
ask
your
Realtor!
Take
you
look
at
houses
in
your
neighbor
at
3,
in
your
neighborhood
that
are
being
sold
right
around
three
and
a
quarter
three
thirty
somewhere
around
there.
Do
they
have
granite
countertops
in
them?
Do
they
have
the
stainless
steel?
Do
they
have
hardwood
floors?
Do
they
have
carpeting?
What
does
your
competition
look
like?
B
So
when
you're
renovating
you're,
not
going
gosh
I
hope
my
house
will
be
the
nicest
one.
Look
at
your
competition
in
your
neighborhood
I
told
you
somehow
neighborhoods,
you
don't
want
to
put
granite
in.
If
you
go
and
see
that
three
or
four
houses
in
your
neighborhood
that
don't
have
granite,
you
know
what
you
don't
need
it
to
sell
your
house,
you
can
put
in
concrete
that
looks
like
granite
and
it's
half
the
price
you
know
so
get
out
there
and
we'll
be
realistic
and
look
at
things
in
your
house.
B
The
other
things
you
can
do.
This
is
great
spec
homes.
Does
anybody
go
to
Parade
of
Homes?
Builders
know
how
to
build
houses
to
make
money?
Okay,
go
look
at
builders
back
homes
at
325
or
four
and
a
quarter
whatever
you're
gonna
sell
your
house
at
a
builder
knows
what
needs
to
go
in
that
house
to
sell
it
because
they
do
not
want
it
sitting
on
the
market.
Okay.
B
D
B
We
talked
about
the
wish
list.
Remember
your
needs
are
first,
the
luxury
comes
next.
You
have
a
budget
hit
your
needs.
First,
okay,
I'm,
going
to
tell
you
do
an
estimate,
here's
a
quick
story
for
us
at
the
end
when
we
remodeled
our
home
because
we
took
that
wall
out.
We
told
you
we
had
this
great
idea.
We
took
all
the
sheetrock
off
of
our
walls
and
we
put
insulation
even
on
the
inside
walls
to
soundproof.
B
Then
we
put
you
know
the
plastic
up
and
we
called
the
city
inspector
to
come
and
inspect
our
house,
and
this
the
inspector
said
to
us.
You
did
a
great
job
on
insulating,
however,
because
you
took
more
than
a
certain
list:
I
don't
know
what
the
percentage
is,
but,
let's
just
say,
70%
of
your
sheetrock
off.
You
have
to
rewire
your
whole
entire
house.
B
That
was
over
twenty
thousand
dollars
that
we
did
not
put
in
a
budget.
Do
a
ballpark
estimate
and
cushion
it.
Okay
put
a
cushion
in
there.
That
was
a
surprise
to
us.
We
had
to
redo
our
whole
house.
We
had
to
rewire
the
whole
entire
house,
so
things
like
that.
If
you
don't
know
it
can
be
costly,
get
referrals
we
Dan
and
I
do
for
55-plus.
We
do
a
fraud
thing
and
actually
renovations
is
a
very
big
fraud
for
people
number
one.
B
They
sang
contracts,
they
don't
read
and
number
two,
they
don't
sign
contracts
and
they
give
a
down
payment
and
they
don't
see
the
person
come
back.
Get
referrals
talk
to
people.
How
did
they
do?
Did
they
come
back?
What
was
the
quality
of
their
work?
Things
like
that?
Does
anybody
have
the
next
door
app
I
love
the
next
door
app?
Does
anybody
here
use
it?
Your
neighbors
will
give
you
good
referrals
on
the
next
door.
App
pardon
me
I.
B
C
F
B
So
that's
kind
of
tricky
when
we
renovated
our
house
and
we
I
told
you
we
did
arts
during
the
recession
and
our
electrician.
We
had
to
pay
all
this
money
for
lecture
and
went
bankrupt
on
us
because
he
couldn't
it
was
a
recession.
He
didn't
have
business.
So
we
went
to
the
city
and
we
said
we're
really
in
a
pickle
here.
Can
you
refer
somebody
to
us
and
they
said
we
won't
do
it
etana?
B
That
is,
they
said
we
won't
be
responsible
for
any
referrals,
because
if
they
mess
up
you're
gonna
come
back
and
blame
us,
so
Hennepin
County
that
I
know
which
book
you're
talking
about
I,
think
that
one
is
referred
by
residents
of
Hennepin
County
and
they
go
in
that
book.
It's
not
from
the
city
itself,
but
the
city
will
publish
it.
Another
place
you
can
go
is
like
Menards.
They
have
a
board
now
anybody
can
put
their
card
on
that
board.
B
But
if
you
talk
to
the
people
that
work
here
and
say,
do
you
know
any
of
these
people?
Do
they
come?
You
know?
Do
you
know
people
that
have
done
projects
and
stuff?
They
will
tell
you,
you
know
we
really
recommend
so-and-so
or
whatever,
even
though
you're
not
going
through
them
and
paying
for
them.
That's
one
way
to
do
it.
D
B
C
B
A
B
B
So
that's
pretty
much
Oh
last
thing,
I'm
going
to
tell
you
to
hear
real
quick.
You
know
how
we
told
you
we
had
to
redo
our
wiring
and
our
insulation
and
stuff
in
a
house
where
we're
planning
and
doing
it,
but
we
ended
up
doing
it.
When
people
walk
through
our
house,
they
had
no
idea.
If
we
sold
our
house,
they
had
no
idea
that
there
are
new
installations
and
the
whole
walls.
They
had
no
idea
that
the
wiring
was
done.
So
we
have
a
brochure
here
on
how
to
tell
your
renovation
story.
B
When
you
sell
your
house,
we
do
what's
called
a
story
book.
It
has
pictures
of
your
homes,
it
has
a
renovation
list.
It
has
the
years
you
major
renovation,
2017
16,
whatever
the
dollar
amount,
it
justifies
the
price
you're
asking
for
your
house.
It
gives
that
assurance
that
peace
of
mind
so
yeah.
This
is
a
cute
brochure
on
how
to
tell
your
story
when
you're
selling
your
house,
don't
assume
people
knew
what
know
what
you
did.
Okay
and.
D
It
takes
away
from
the
as
Mary
mentioned,
that
the
hidden,
the
hidden,
the
invisible
items,
the
hidden
costs
when
people
come
through
a
home,
they
want
to
know
several
things
old
as
a
roof.
How
old
is
a
furnace?
How
old
is
the
AC
unit?
How
old
are
the
windows,
okay
and
and
and
the
and
and
the
furnace
as
well
in
the
water
heater?
D
You
don't
see
up
in
the
attic
that
you
that
you
re
insulated,
the
Attic
to
our
fifty
those
are
things
and
when
they
come
to
an
open,
Alice
you're,
not
seeing
I'm
up
in
the
attic
and
you're
not
seeing
and
trying
to
find
out
if
there's
any
moisture
in
the
walls.
So
those
are
things
that
you
can
really
help,
sell
your
home
right
away
and
it
takes
the
guessing
game
completely
out
of
it.
B
Then,
on
your
way
out
grab
this
book
here,
there's
a
lot
of
fun
checklists
in
here,
but
does
anybody
know
it
at
issue
report
truth
and
housing
report
Bloomington
house
one?
If
you
ever
sell
your
house,
you
have
to
have
an
inspection
when
you
do
a
renovation
and
you
pull
permits,
the
city
is
going
to
ask
you
to
do
a
final
inspection,
but
they're
also
going
to
ask
you
to
do
a
Tish
report.
Okay,
you
cannot
sell
your
house.
The
city
won't
allow
you
to
do
one
in
Bloomington,
Richfield,
Minneapolis,
st.
B
There's
lists
of
them
and
it
talks
about
it
here,
so
this
is
really
a
good
once
you're
all
done,
I
would
do
my
final
and
my
tissue
at
the
same
time,
if
it
were
me,
so
here's
a
kinfoke.
This
is
a
really.
It
has
a
lot
of
checklist
for
decluttering
and
whatnot.
So
that's
it
for
us.
If
anybody
has
any
questions.
B
Remember
it's
gonna
cost
you
and
we
didn't
talk
about
this.
It's
going
to
cost
you
I,
don't
care
what
the
Commission
is.
Five,
six,
seven,
whatever
a
realtor
is
gonna
charge.
You
it's
gonna,
cost
you
ten
percent
to
sell
your
house
plan
on
10
percent.
You
might
get
away
with
a
little
less!
So
if
you
have
you
in
the
20
percent,
if
you
have
a
$200,000
house,
three
hundred
thousand,
it's
gonna
cost
you
a
twenty
or
thirty
thousand
to
sell
that
house
with
a
realtor.
B
B
Are
they
are
they
would
it's
all
wood?
So
you
could
we
have
a
resurface,
you
can
take
the
door
fronts
off
and
what's
really
pretty
I,
don't
know
if
you've
seen
it
the
glass
ones.
You
know
where
they
put
the
thick
and
put
all
different
kinds
of
glass
in
crown
molding
on
the
top,
it
makes
them
look
brand-new.
B
You
could
always
tell
older
kitchens
because
the
engines
are
on
the
outside
when
you
replace
them.
If
you
kind
of
either
paint
them
spray,
em,
don't
roll
them
or
brush
them,
because
they
look
much
nicer,
get
the
inside
hinges.
It
makes
them
look
the
new
put
the
glass
fronts
in
them
or
in
a
couple
of
them.
We
have
them
in
in
just
a
couple
of
hours,
I
think
and
then
the
hardware
and
put
a
very
nice
countertop
and
a
backsplash
you'll,
be
amazed.
