Continued from Part One...
So if you have the trust thing down with an Architect and have started to weigh options, what should you expect in terms of construction budgets? The first thing is to know the difference between a "budget price" and a "bid". I'm constantly asking clients not to use the term "bid" unless they know that it is a fixed cost and the scope for that cost is well defined and agreed upon. Unless you have a completely finished set of plans and details, including every single light fixture, cabinet handle, tile spec, paint color, door hardware list, written QC specifications that outline reference standards of care, procedures, and general conditions, along with a planning and building permit, asbestos...

Long before they've hired me for a remodel project, my clients have heard horror stories about construction. Projects go over-budget or over-schedule. General Contractors flake out and have to be replaced once, maybe twice, or, as I unfortunately saw on a project years ago, three times! Sub-contractors whom the Owner hasn't even met aren't paid and file liens. Material suppliers deliver something that looks completely different than what was specified. Shall I go on or have I already scared you off? Why the abundance of these stories? Are there so many lackluster individuals and companies in the field? As I've heard clients say to me at an interview, "I'm going to do this right and avoid all of that!" I just smile.

I wanted to provide our friends and visitors with a quick look back at how the real estate market faired for mid-century modern Eichler homes in Marin County throughout 2009.
In 2009, a total of 43 Eichler homes were sold in Marin County and I was excited to once again finish the year as the #1 Agent in Marin County for closed Eichler home sales. In addition to being the top agent for Eichlers, I worked hard this past year to get my sellers the most money for their home in the shortest amount of time. In 2009, my Eichler listings on average sold for 99% of their original asking price in less than 35 days on market!
Taking a closer look at 2009 Eichler sale activity, the majority (41) of sales occurred in San Rafael where...
