I'll be honest - so far I'm not happy with my realtor. It's very early in the process and I'm willing to give him a chance, but he's putting off a strong vibe of wanting to make a sale asap and not willing to put the work in. That said, I'm also someone who likes to educate myself before making a large decision like this. Sure, I could take the word of a realtor. Or, I could look into the numbers myself to be certain. I'll burn up the phone's tomorrow getting quote if no resource exists like I'm looking for.

Whatever numbers you decide on for your reno, just double it, add 10% and triple your time line.

The money is there for renos if that's the route I decide to go.
