Love It or List It: A Renovation Journey Inspired by Urban Edge Homes

As real estate agents with Urban Edge Homes, we have the privilege of showcasing stunning properties to our clients during the Artisan Tour. However, for one particular couple in Edina, this tour became more than just a glimpse into luxurious homes – it became the catalyst for a major decision on their own property.

Two months ago, our clients fell head over heels for a gorgeous Artisan Tour Home that captured their hearts. Fast forward to today, and that very same home is now move-in ready – sparking a dilemma for our clients. Do they renovate their current home in Edina, taking inspiration from the homes they have viewed with us during the tour, or do they choose the path of least resistance and purchase the new fully renovated luxury home that's coming on the market?

This Love It or List It story is a true test of their commitment to their current home and the vision they have for it. As we guide them through this decision-making process, we see the potential and possibilities in their Edina property. With a bit of creativity, dedication, and investment, their current home could be transformed into their dream space.

On the other hand, the allure of a new fully renovated luxury home is undeniable. The convenience of moving into a turnkey property, already designed to perfection, is tempting. Will they choose to build upon the memories and history they have in their current home, or will they opt for a fresh start in a new space that promises luxury and convenience?

Follow along as we navigate this renovation journey with our clients, as they weigh the options of loving it and investing in their current home, or listing it and embarking on a new chapter in a fully renovated luxury home. The decision is theirs to make, and we are here every step of the way to support and guide them towards the best choice for their future. Stay tuned for updates on their Love It or List It journey with Urban Edge Homes!

Step 1: Meet the Clients The first step in managing a Love It or List It process is to meet with the clients to understand their needs, desires, and vision for their home. We take the time to get to know them and identify what we like to call their "Creme Brulee" – their perfect home.

Step 2: Explore Finished Homes and New Builds Next, we take our clients to explore finished homes and newly built properties to give them a firsthand experience of different styles, designs, and features. This helps them envision what their dream home looks like and provides inspiration for their own space.

Step 3: Evaluate the Budget After exploring various properties, we carefully evaluate the client's budget to determine what is feasible in terms of renovations or purchasing a new home. Understanding the financial aspect is crucial in making informed decisions that align with their goals and resources.

Step 4: Reverse Engineer the Outcome Once we have a clear understanding of the client's preferences and budget, we reverse engineer the outcome to determine the best course of action. We weigh the pros and cons of building a new home versus renovating their current property, considering factors such as timeline, cost, and personal preferences.

Step 5: Understand the Pros and Cons Finally, we ensure that our clients fully understand the pros and cons of both options – building a new home or renovating their current home. We provide expert guidance and advice to help them make a well-informed decision that aligns with their vision and lifestyle.

By following these steps and carefully managing the Love It or List It process, we aim to support our clients in finding the perfect solution that brings their dream home to life.
