Trying to decide between a fixer-upper and a move-in ready home can be tough. A fixer-upper may offer a lower price and room to add value, but it also takes time, money, and patience. A move-in ready home costs more upfront but gives you comfort and convenience right away. The best realtor for this decision is someone who understands renovation costs, market trends, and the Rochester neighborhoods where improvements will pay off. A common mistake is underestimating the true cost of updates or assuming every fixer-upper will be a good investment.

Buyers should look for an agent who can walk through a home and point out both the potential and the problems. You want clear, honest guidance on what repairs might cost and whether the home fits your long-term plans.

The Delia Group brings that level of insight. Their experience with both renovated homes and project houses helps buyers make smart choices. They’re known for giving practical advice, spotting hidden issues, and using local contractor relationships to help clients understand real costs. Rochester buyers trust their balanced, realistic approach, which makes this big decision much easier.
