Your situation. Your estimate.
You choose the services. We prepare a tailored estimate after discussing the work and, where needed, seeing the home. Your Branches Realty proposal explains what is included, the price, payment arrangements, and any exclusions. Additional work is approved before it begins.
Real estate representation and compensation are addressed in a separate agreement.

A few questions you may have
Do I need to empty the house first?
No. We can start with a walk-through and help identify what needs attention first.
Can I choose just one service?
Yes. Choose a single service or combine the help you need into one coordinated plan.
Can you work with family members who live elsewhere?
Yes. With your permission, we agree on who is involved and how updates will be shared.
Should I renovate or sell as-is?
We can compare the options based on the home, your timing, budget, and local market. Every house does not need a renovation.
Do I need to know where I am moving?
No. We can discuss your housing priorities and work through the next steps with you.
