Note from Ben

How many of you would say that you have re-prioritized your values in the last 12 months? Isn't it amazing what a recession will do to us? So here we are connecting, as we do monthly, and the topic of discussion is your home. The reason we do that is because our goal is to actively help you Love Where You Live. I'm going to be light on content this month because a lot of events are happening that will provide you great value. Please join us as you have need & desire.

Warmly,

Ben Thompson
President

Home #5 - "Remodel vs. Move"

Our Showcase home (#5) is the classic move vs. remodel case study! Our clients weighed all the pros & cons of condo living and decided they’d pay a lawn service to mow their grass and have us do the rest.

This is a whole house renovation & amenities upgrade so come and get ideas! Spaces affected include the kitchen, master suite, laundry room, and two bathrooms, along with living and sleeping spaces on multiple levels.

It pays to make a long-term tangible investment into a comfortable & beautiful home tailor made for your unique needs without the non-value added expense of selling your home and moving. A lot of people are just feeling really beat by the market and want to remodel to have a place to relax and get away from the world. Come talk to Ben, Pat & Sandie Thompson, co-hosts of the TR Home Improvement Show on Newsradio WOOD 1300 about your next project. The goal for this and all of our projects is that you continue to Love Where You Live.
