Renovate or Sell

Should You Remodel the Bathroom or Sell the House?

A remodeler will say remodel and an agent will say sell. We do both, so we can walk through both sides with you honestly.

Renovate

You keep the neighborhood, the schools, the commute, and the mortgage rate you already have, and the bathroom gets fixed.

What it costs in Fort Worth

  • Hall or guest bath$20,000–$55,000
  • Primary bath$63,000–$120,000
  • Full primary suite$75,000–$200,000+

Renovate if the bathroom is the main thing wrong with the house and the rest of it still fits your life.

Sell

Sometimes the bathroom isn't the real problem. The house is too small, the layout doesn't work, or your life has changed since you bought it.

What selling actually costs

  • Agent commissions on the sale
  • Closing costs and title work
  • Moving, twice if you rent in between
  • The mortgage rate you give up for the one you get
  • Whatever the next house needs on day one

Sell if you'd still want to move after the bathroom was perfect.

Why would a remodeler tell me to sell?

Because we're also a brokerage. Whichever way you decide, we can help, so we have no reason to push you toward a remodel.

Will you tell me what my house is worth?

Not on a website. One of our real estate Guides will look at your house and the recent sales around it and talk it through with you in person.

Who reaches out if I send this?

A real estate Guide with 6th Ave. Homes LLC. If the answer turns out to be renovate, they hand you straight to the construction team.

Is there a fee to talk?

No. The construction consultation and the listing conversation are both free.
