[quote=Anonymous]As others have said, it was location and the basic bones of the place.  It was a mess; awful kitchen, bath, flooring, almost everything.  We nearly gutted our condo, but didn't change the footprint.  Our realtor was super helpful with suggestions on what was and was not realistic to change, and that helped make our decision.  He was also very clear that he could not give us a precise estimate of some costs, because those would depend on how high or low end we went with different finishes.

If you're talking about a house, I would think you'd need some kind of general contractor or architect to check out the foundation, structural integrity, etc; or if you're thinking of renovations that require moving walls or changing plumbing, electrical, and other major work.

Although a major reno was a ton of work, and would be really difficult to do now that we have a child, we're really happy with our choice and we still love the location and layout of our place that made us fall in love with it in the first place.[/quote]
