Go Coastal Home - Jennifer Rouwhorst, Realtor

I love a good upgrade! Customizing our homes to fit the life we live is why we choose homeownership. Built in storage, custom cat door, designer bathrooms, funky lighting... I'm here for all of it!

When selling the home in the near future is the ultimate goal, how do you know where to spend and where to save? What will really impress buyers and what will make them shrug and move on?

How Much Should You Spend on Home Upgrades? - Jennifer Rouwhorst That marble island top sounds amazing. The hot tub for your backyard patio? Absolutely luxurious. But before you sign off on that renovation quote and drain your bank account, we need to talk about something more important than any trendy upgrade—your renovation budget.

I've been active in the real estate market in Southwest Florida for over seven years now. I have many fix and flips under my belt and this is my first personal home renovation!

Remember in the 70s when houses were built with a random atrium right in the middle? I think I would rather have this in a backyard on most days. This was peak residential architecture. I will forever believe that.
