Top Tips for Home Remodeling in Davison, Lapeer, and Beyond
Wow! What a hole!!!
This post is a follow-up to last week wondering whether or not the remodeling boom is over?? Check it out here!
Greetings, my dedicated DIY warriors! It's the Flip Flop Agent here, your trusted Realtor in my favorite tri county area of Genesee, Lapeer and Oakland counties! As we continue to traverse the ebbs and flows of the remodeling boom, I'm often asked, "What are some good tips to consider when remodeling a house?" Well, whether you're sprucing up your home before selling or personalizing your new purchase, I've got some nuggets of wisdom to share.
Plan Ahead: Before diving into your project, have a clear vision of what you want and how much you can spend. A well-considered plan will save you time and keep those unexpected costs in check.
Choose the Right Professionals: Even the best DIY warriors need a little help sometimes! Take your time in researching and selecting professionals. Look for local recommendations, and don't forget to check their credentials and reviews. As the best real estate agent in Davison (and a humble one at that), I have a few great contacts I can recommend.
Keep Resale Value in Mind: If you're buying a home in Grand Blanc or selling a home in Fenton, the upgrades you choose can impact the resale value. Kitchens and bathrooms often yield the best returns, but don't forget about curb appeal.
Don't Neglect the Small Details: The smallest changes often make the biggest difference. Think about fixtures, fittings, and finishings - these can elevate your space from 'just fine' to 'just wow!'.
Consider Your Timeline: Home remodeling is not a sprint; it's a marathon. Set a realistic timeline and be prepared for it to stretch. It's all part of the journey in making a house your home.
Remember, DIY warriors, whether you're buying a home in Oxford, selling a home in Metamora, or anywhere in between, RE/MAX Edge is here to guide you every step of the way. Let's keep those hammers and paint brushes at the ready, folks, and make our homes the best they can be!

Mother Nature's Mood Swings & The Seller's Market
Tuesday was 90+ degrees and we had a pool party at a friends house…
Wednesday was 90% humidity and crazy storms…
Thursday, I’m sitting in my office in a hoodie because it’s still a bit chilly…
Much like the weather, the real estate market can shift, but not nearly as dramatically as our lovely Michigan weather. In spite of the economic impact of Covid-19 the real estate market here in Mid-Michigan is still largely in favor of seller’s. I have had 3 clients in multi-offer situations within the last week and that is not an uncommon story if you speak with any active real estate agents out there hustling today.
I’m pulling the numbers together for my weekly market report and thankfully we’re starting to see an uptick in homes being added to the MLS. Time will tell how the summer market will end up playing out, but I can tell you this much, if you’re thinking about selling, there is literally no time like the present!
See you tomorrow for my weekly market update!
