Summary

In this episode we are going to talk about if you are a person that’s going to do better if you buy a home, build your own home, remodel an existing home, or hire a designer to help you. Remodels are perfect if you want something with history and are okay with redoing things, which can turn out more expensive, but at the same time more rewarding. Doing a new build is recommended for anyone who wants something completely new and unique to them where they can start from ground zero and create something that really stands out and represents who they are. Is remodel for you? 2:17 Is the timeline of a remodel quicker than a rebuild? 10:53 Is a new build for you? 13:40 How much window coverings can be 18:47 Remember this when working with a contractor 21:17 If you haven’t owned a home yet 26:30 “Here’s what’s not in a new build. This is shocking to people. Landscaping. That does not come with your new home. It does come with an existing home if you’re just gonna build. So here’s a pro tip, if you’re any chance married to an accountant, do not new build.” 16:39 https://www.instagram.com/alicelaneinteriors/ https://www.instagram.com/alicelanehome/ https://alicelanehome.com/ https://www.facebook.com/AliceLaneHome https://www.pinterest.com/alicelanehome/ https://www.youtube.com/alicelanehomecollectionsaltlakecity News Letter: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=HZENWY&g=PFcqV5 Learn more about your ad choices.
