Video Transcript hey guys hey peeps how’s it going today i think it’s going pretty well what about you good yeah very good this is the pickle lady my name is randy yeah i can introduce myself you don’t have to introduce me every time i feel like i should but that’s okay i like to demonstrate that i can do it from time to time we got a little uh construction noise behind us we are discussing renovations here in preston aaron prescott because like behind us they’re starting to renovate this old home this is a really cool area in prescott um and it’s the original prescott township yep yep and they’ve got some pretty cool homes here yeah so you kind of pan around a home next door here these are the old classic homes uh a lot of them are 100 years old and more historic register and all that and oddly enough some of them are a bit out of date and worn out so they need to be renovated so some people are snatching them up and restoring them to their former glory a little bit what we wanted to talk about was there are a lot of homes that are maybe built in the 80s and 90s that were great then um what we’re starting to see is this is a good time to buy those yeah and gut them and get them up to date and get some great buys some great buys that way yeah the the price points here in prescott are just now kind of getting to the point where you have enough room to do that you know you’ve got a home that’s uh you buy it for let’s say 600 000 there’s room to put in you know 100 200 000 and you still haven’t priced yourself right out of the market because homes in the neighborhood sell for seven so a lot of a lot of sections like the ranch and haciampa you can get a home maybe that was built in the 90s he’s our little he’s our buddy he’s our fan you can get in those areas for much cheaper prices and renovate and then still took quite a bit of appreciation yeah come out ahead of the what’s happening game getting a little landlocked uh prescott valley of course no yeah yeah a lot more land out that way but but prescott not so much there’s a lot of the uh the best locations already taken they already have homes there right and so renovation is uh kind of part of the game and some of the some of some homes have stunning gorgeous views the lots are already taken the homes were built maybe in the 80s and 90s and but you can’t beat those views right nor can you find those lots available hardly to bot to build yep so think about that think about buying one of these older homes and just gutting it and starting over it but you will be capturing an amazing view yes yeah the other thing about renovation particularly if you’re out of town is obviously you’re taking on a kind of a project management thing you gotta oversee the whole process and uh just to let you know we can help you with that and find you contractors to do that kind of thing um also too as a did your voice just yeah i’m going through the change i think uh also cold weather okay all right get it

dilly dally you want to plan the thing well uh there’s new technology now where you can do the renovation virtually to make sure you know exactly what you want what kind of finishes and everything

you are a seller and your home needs renovation we can help you market that and demonstrate to buyers different options for how they might go about remodeling your house and what it’ll look like afterwards without you spending any money uh uh betting that someone’s gonna like the finishes that you picked up i just think it’s super cool now that they actually have [Music] someone has a big truck trying to prove something through something but anyway what i think is really cool and i wish you know some of these products were not available just then but when we were buying right now they
