Avoid another nightmare or regain control if you are stuck in the middle. Presented by Owner Representative, Jim Foley, founder of Equity Real Estate Partners. This free seminar is targeted to homeowners, small business owners, and individual real estate investors, Based on best-practices developed as a commercial owner representative, learn simple but effective solutions to ensure a stress-free renovation project. Some of the topics to be covered include: Project Planning Vetting Contractors & Bidding Aligning Expectations Implementing Cost, Scope & Schedule Controls, and Understanding Your Recourse (if things go south) There are 2 tell-tale and avoidable patterns of owner experience through the course of a project. And it's the same on $100 million high rise commercial development projects as on single family new construction and renovation projects: On one side, high hopes and dreams at the beginning of a project are slowly eroded through a series of disappointments and compromises, which result in the owner arriving at the end of a project exhausted and disillusioned. On the other side, usually in response to a bad prior experience, the project starts guarded and defensive, with very low expectations of a smooth process, but heightened expectations that something will go wrong at every step. The owner arrives at the end of a project similarly exhausted and disillusioned. In any case, the toll in some instances on an investor, small business, or on a family or even marriage can be quite significant and completely avoidable. The seminar is completely free, and includes a free package of planning and implementation worksheets for those who pre-register: http://www.EQREP.com/RenovationWorkshop Or call (331) 223-9715
