I’m currently assisting with a new home purchase and the work that needs to be accomplished to make the buyer happy. It can be overwhelming when starting to look at the whole project. I recommend starting small with ways to improve while not breaking the bank. Then look at any major projects and plan out a timeline for when you want each part to be completed by.
Don’t rush so much that you go with the first quote for a job. It is smart to get one or two additional bids in an effort to have things to compare and negotiate as well as to feel as though you are not being taken advantage of.
To keep from feeling overwhelmed go room by room. Bring a notebook and dedicate a page per room. Make a circle next to the items to accomplish and you can check them off as you complete tasks.
If it is still too much to handle don’t forget you can always Just Ask Jen.
