Our Fixer Experts Team KNOWS Fixers

Needs TLC.  Fix & Flip It.  Diamond In The Rough.  Handyman Special.  Contractor's Dream.  Your Future Dream Home.

We've all seen these headlines associated with fixer-uppers. And if you do your homework and are willing to put in the time and the elbow grease, fixing up homes can be a profitable endeavor. But, if you don't know what you are doing, it can also be an absolute emotional and financial disaster.

That's where we can help.  At Tam Realty, we don't only know about fixer-uppers, we live them.  Our Fixer Experts team has decades of experience buying and selling their own fixers.  When others see a distressed property as too much work or a tear-down, we can see through that and uncover the potential for the home. We pass that expertise on to you. 

                                                               Steps For Buying & Selling Fixers

You NEED to know what you are getting into.  It's not quick money.  But, with proper planning and foresight, good profits can be made by buying "distressed" properties at less than market value, making appropriate improvements and repairs, and then reselling.  And, of course, if you have the wear with all to live in the property while working on it, you are at less risk and will save money. 

We know where you need to spend your money to improve the value of a home.  Spend it on things that buyers can easily see - cosmetic improvements. Things like new paint and removing trash from the property cost little but have instant impact on curb appeal.  Find houses with peeling paint, a trashy yard, bad carpet or wallpaper. Kitchens and baths are key. Buyers take note of these rooms most and often make their purchasing decision based on the beauty and quality found in these rooms.

Unless you truly have the expertise, we recommend steering clear of properties with structural damage, or a floor plan that requires major work to remedy. Always have an inspection for hidden damage performed by a home inspector or construction professional before buying a fixer-upper. 

                                                 BEFORE              

Be careful that you don’t over pay and have a realistic

budget for renovations. Especially if you plan to resell quickly,

paying too much up front can doom your plans for quick profit.  Research the market for reselling and have an exit plan for selling the house in place before making an offer.

Or better yet, work with a team like our Fixer Experts team to help you find the right home at the right price that

will yield you the highest profit.  Let us help you!                             AFTER
