What really adds value to your home — and what secretly takes it away?
In this episode of Blueprint Banter, we sit down with Chris Audette, a Baeumler Approved real estate agent, to pull back the curtain on the buying and selling process. From why you should call your realtor six months in advance to the real ROI of kitchens, bathrooms, and basements, Chris shares candid insights that homeowners and contractors alike need to hear.
You’ll learn why decluttering beats renovations (at least at first), how staging helps buyers “see the story” of your home, and why trendy design choices can actually hurt resale value. Plus, Chris breaks down common mistakes — like skipping permits, ignoring functionality, or calling your realtor too late — that can cost sellers thousands.
Whether you’re upgrading your own home, prepping for resale, or working with clients as a contractor, this episode is packed with strategies to help you make smart, profitable decisions in real estate.
