Remodeling Market Increases!!!!!

Due to the ever crashing market, declining home sales, and foreclosures the homeowners that are able to keep their mortgages are choosing to stay put with their investments and upgrade their homes. Remodeling helps with all types of the property market by increasing the value and the appeal of the home. The home owner can ask for higher values in the sales market, and gain more exposure in that price bracket for the newer upgrades. Simple kitchen cabinets, counter top and flooring upgrades are the main selling points for all homes. The bathrooms are the second most important factor in the homes appeal. Most clients are now asking for Travertine flooring, matching shower tiles, and a closet design for the master bathroom area, with special emphasis on the jacuzzi tubs and his/her toilet commodes. For normal 3 bedroom homes the cost of entire remodeling can start off around $3,000 and can rise up to the value of the home itself depending on what the clients wish for.

A good way to start your project, is to find out what you are willing to spend in each area, conform to a budget for the entire project and be realistic. A lot of clients want to start off with a small budget in mind, yet once they walk a contractor through the project they have already upgraded what they want. Another good point is to think a little more long term, and how a little more money into the project will increase the quality and the overall image of the remodel. For example, If you are looking to remodel the kitchen, but do no want to spend the extra money on the counter tops for stone, you will not create the same effect and will probably wish that you had spent the extra 2-3 thousand and really make the kitchen special a year or two later.


Another great tip into remodeling is to re-paint the outside of the home so that it feels newer with the interior upgrades. Landscaping is something anybody can do with a little time and sweat, but nobody can hide a bad paint job.

Apartment remodeling; Raise rents Raise Occupancy

The rental communities have seen a huge fluctuation in the market over the last couple of months. Around March and April last year (2006) the rental occupany levels were at their highest, and they stretched on until around September where they plataued. As a property manager, I can say first hand that since December the rental business has been quite hard. The only leads have been tenants poorly qualified, and plagued with bad rental history.

This is where PrestigeCore can help, by remodeling and renovating your apartment community, you can expect more traffic because the property will stand out from the sea of other apartment complex's. And with newer kitchen's, upgraded facilities and ammenites; turnover rates from prospective client to lease agreement should be a lot higher.

CONDO CONVERSIONS

As a proud owner and manager of commercial real estate, I know first hand the technicalities of buying and selling property here in Central Florida. With the condo market increasing so rapidly here in Orlando, most investors are looking to buy older properties and turn them into condo for a huge monetary payback. An older property built in the early or late 70's will normally need a full renovation in the kitchen area, but the structure themselves are normally block construction which help lower the renovation cost. Newer properties built in the 80's and on might need some structural renovation, but investors can cut cost because the roof's are normally pitched and A/C systems are normally on the ground instead of the roof.

PrestigeCore LLC. knows how to make our clients money work for them the most efficient way possible. We make sure that we bring the older properties up to code the most cost efficient way possible, and our subtle interior modifications will save them money but make the properties increasingly more appealing. We can also do packages, with some units more upgraded than others to appeal to a wide variety of buyers.

Contact PrestigeCore LLC. today for your condo conversion needs.

PrestigeCore LLC. (how we got started)

Prestigecore LLC. is a brand new company offering upgrades, remodeling, and additions to our clients houses, offices, and condo's. We are located in Central Florida, and provide service to all the neighbouring cities around Orlando.

Wayne Morris, the founder of PrestigeCore LLC., has a bachelor degree from the University of Central Florida. He minored in Computer Science, Digital Media including website design, and Marketing. Wayne was actively involved with the community, helping out charities like Make a Wish Foundation, Meals on Wheels, and Habitat for Humanity. He was also a member of the Sigma Chi Eta Pi Chapter at UCF, and finished college with a 3.3 GPA and was on the BrightFutures Academic Scholarship.

For almost 10 years Wayne has been involved with Commercial Property, owning and renting multi-family housing in the Central Florida area for his families company. Roselea International, Roselea Investment Group has been his catapult into the striving real-estate market in Florida. Wayne has been a managing director for 6 years, and owns stock shares in the company.

The idea to start PrestigeCore LLC. was thought about 8 years ago, when Wayne wanted to upgrade his personal residence at that time, but ran into the same hurdles most people go through during this process. To upgrade his floors, he could go through one contractor (lets say Home Depot). But to get the walls painted he had to get hold of a painter. Then to finish upgrading the kitchen another company had to be called in to install the countertops and cabinets. His idea was to group all this into one company, one contractor so other people wanting the same kind of upgrades could get financed at one place and do all the upgrades, remodeling or additions at once.

Our company promise and goal for every job is "Quality work at a Quality price" and we intend to make a difference in Central Florida.
