Information deemed reliable but not guaranteed

Most people assume a new home or remodeling project is a sound investment.
Not when you make mistakes like these.

Knowledge is Power 

Instead of making informed choices, many homeowners base decisions about building projects on faulty assumptions, misguided whims, and ignorance about today’s norms in housing revitalization. The lack of proper guidance impacts everything from minor remodels to new construction. The resulting financial losses and penalties can be extremely severe, with no second chances or do-overs. In fact, in 2016, over 80% of new homes in Edina (built since 2005) lost an average of $217,000 upon resale.

To illustrate the catastrophic effect of poor building choices, here are a few current examples of reconstruction resales, occurring between January 1st and August 31st of 2018. As you can see, these owners suffered substantial dollar losses, offsetting gains they might have anticipated through normal appreciation or inflation – assuming any investment potential existed in the first place. 


The various professionals involved might have steered these clients towards choices less damaging to their financial futures, but for whatever reason, that didn’t happen. 

There is, however, a powerful antidote to avoiding such disasters: Knowledge.

 

By studying Edina properties that have suffered severe losses, and ascertaining why, MasterWerks has the requisite knowledge for protecting our clients from similar losses.
