Today we finally finished one of our most challeng

Today we finally finished one of our most challenging renovations to date. You hear on the news that there are construction supply shortages nationwide, well when you are renovating during these times, you truly understand the extent of these shortages. Outside of material shortages, there are labor shortages, labor cost increases, etc. When we took on this renovation in Alva Florida on 5 Acres we knew it wasn’t going to be easy but we knew the homes potential. After very smart design decisions and material selections and through the hardworking of our crews we completely transformed this distressed home into a badass finished product. The Real Wood Burning Fireplace was a tough challenge as it was a real mess, but we decided to go clean & modern and brought in a stucco artisan to smooth coat finish it and it came out better than we thought. Drywall repair work was more then we ever anticipated and blew the budget out the window but we had to make it right. When you renovate as long as we have, you realize the importance of always doing a renovation right & never cutting corners. We know have targeted a big premium price, so lets see how the market responds, stay tuned….#renovation #reno #design #flippinghouses #home #house #realestate #realtor #florida #fortmyers #bonitasprings #capecoral #naplesflorida #floridaliving #movetoflorida #success #hgtv #marathonflorida #floridarealestate #Floridaland #Acreage #forsale

I don’t care how many renovations you do, every one is going to be different and you are going to encounter things you never expected. When we took this renovation in Fort Myers, FL, we knew it needed many major components to be upgraded including all the Cast Iron main Drain Lines, all the Main Plumbing Lines, the Main Electrical Panel Box & Main Electrical Lines, the Roof, etc. This is on top of the Full Interior & Exterior upgrades thru out. Over $90K later, delays with permitting, supply shortages due to current times and encountering so much more than we ever expected, we got it done. When it came to listing it, I targeted a HUGE number, which was higher than Pool Homes were selling in the neighborhood & we had no pool. I knew we raised the bar with the finishing level and there was a lack of comparable homes. I remember 2 different sets of neighbors said we were crazy with our list price & we would never get it. Well in just a few days on market we received a ABOVE LIST PRICE Financed Offer. After 40+ days the buyer was unable to obtain financing, so I raised the price to reflect the prior offer price and secured another FULL PRICE offer, except this time it was CASH. After encountering a crazy property line issue and a lot of stress and long hours, we got the deal closed setting a NEW RECORD BREAKING Price for the neighborhood. So, neighbors you are welcome for boosting your home values, I love when they doubt me it just fuels me even more to make it happen.

I wanted to share some photos of our most recent completed No Nonsense Renovation in Fort Myers, Florida. This one was a very challenging renovation as we had to actually replace the main drain lines in the home, which if you know anything about that, you know how intense of a process that is. We knew this 1960’s home has potential & we were able to identify ways to increase the under air living square footage by over 300 sqft. While we experienced almost 3 months of delays with the building department & ran into issues with subs not showing up when we needed them, we always pushed through and got the renovation completion, which cost over $95K. The Kitchen came out incredible as we mixed a Natural Wood Tone with Quartzite Counters including one of the biggest bar top areas I have seen, we brought in Wide Plank Floors throughout with a Designer Tile in the Bath Floors that we also incorporated into the Showers accented with Subway Tile. WE reconfigured the Master Bath to make it more functional and allow for Dual Sinks, the amount of drywall work that went into this home to make it right was just insane, but it is now right, we added wainscoting to the Living Room to boost its luxury feel, Installed Crown Molding & 5 1/4” Base thru out, installed a New Metal Roof, all New PEX Plumbing, installed New A/C Ducts, did major stucco repair all throughout the exterior of the home, we installed a New Main Electrical Panel Box & all new Electrical Outlets and just so much more… After just 3 Days on the market, we received an ABOVE LIST PRICE Offer. It is always an incredible feeling to have so much work put into a reno and see a buyer and their realtor not only appreciate the level of detail and design but understand its value. #renovation #reno #design #flippinghouses #home #house #realestate #realtor #florida #fortmyers #bonitasprings #capecoral #naplesflorida #floridaliving #movetoflorida #success #hgtv #marathonflorida

Sometimes in life, you have to not take things so seriously and be a little silly. As I age I am realizing just how important this is and I am very thankful for my beautiful wife Tressa Cioffi who has opened my eyes to this more then ever.

Are you a seller who needs to sell your home but y

Are you a seller who needs to sell your home but you realize you have a dated space/spaces such as a Kitchen or Baths or are you a realtor taking a list like this? You may know that right now in today’s current Real Estate market, even if you price a dated home right, buyers may still struggle to see the value and the lack the vision of the spaces can be & also have no idea on the costs to renovate. Well if that is you and you do not have the financial means to renovate your dated spaces before selling your home, I recommend considering Virtual Renovations. There are many companies out there currently who offer these services where they can take your existing dated space & create a virtual renovation of exactly what it could be renovated to look like. Doing this & including those images in your listing photos along with installing canvases or poster boards onsite in these dated rooms, will 100% ensure that buyers and their realtors now understand the potential of each room. If you want to take it a step further has a general contractor price out what a renovation like that will take and provide that info to the buyers and their realtor. Now you ensure they can vision the potential of the spaces, understand actual costs with the goal of ensuring they now understand your home’s value. This is absolutely crucial to consider as if you do nothing, you may find out the hard the way the significant negative impacts on your home’s value its appeal. Trust me. Good Luck!!!! #RealEstate #Realtor #Realtorlife #NoNonsenseRealEstate #NoNonsenseREnos #FortMyers #Estero #Naples #CapeCoral #BonitaSprings #Florida #SWFL #MovetoFlorida #FloridaKeys #MarathonFlorida #Knowledge #KnowledgeisPower #Renovation #Home House #Hustle #Success #Tip #realtalk

We are making the final Shower Wall Tile decisions

We are making the final Shower Wall Tile decisions on our Fort Myers, Florida No Nonsense Real Estate Reno. We know everyone loved what we did at our Cape Coral Florida Sailboat Access Reno, which had the Grey Subway side walls and the Designer Tile Focal Wall. I want to re-create that similar look. I will be going with the same Grey Subway Tile, but considering 3 options for the Focal Wall, the 1st option is doing the same exact material & there are 2 other alternatives. I am also considering using the focal wall tile on the bathroom floor to make it a true statement. Let me know your opinions if you can. I appreciate everyones input in advance. Stay tuned for more details on this reno as its badass and should be finished in the next few weeks. #house #houses #nononsenserenos #nononsensechris #knowledge #knowledgeispower #realestate #houserenovation #flippinghouses #houseflipping #florida #floridakeys #fortmyers #capecoral #estero #bonitasprings #naplesflorida #realtor #realtorlife #nononsenserealestate #interiordesign #homestyle #creative #hustle #renovation #reno #renovation #bathroom #bathroomdesign #design @queenofthedrone @no.nonsense.tracy

When we took on this original owner renovation in

When we took on this original owner renovation in highly distressed condition, we agreed to give the owner 3 months to have enough time to transition out of her home. We had no idea during that time we would encounter a nationwide pandemic before closing on the home. We knew this could be a big risk as we had no clue the impacts to our Real Estate market from the pandemic. We made sure to make very smart decisions throughout this $177k+ Renovation to ensure we did not over improve. No one knew how significant the impacts of the pandemic were going to be on material availability, suppliers, sub contractors, the building department etc. It was so bad we ended up having to give the buyer a credit from the monies that were to be used for the windows as after 3 months they were still not in. I can honestly say we encountered more obstacles on this reno than in any other one we have ever done. Through hard work & our incredible construction crews we managed to overcome those obstacles & get it done maintaining our high end quality. We brought in the 1 and only @queenofthedrone to work her magic & in just a few hours on the market, we had 2 offers, 1 being FULL PRICE. Its an incredible feeling to see the markets response exceed your expectations & to see how much the buyers appreciated the level of design, high quality finishings, etc. No Nonsense, Just Results!!!
A big shout out to @stageandamazehomestaging for doing an incredible job with the staging that 100% boosted the home's appeal.

Just because someone passed their Real Estate exam

Just because someone passed their Real Estate exam and now has a real estate license, doesn’t mean they know how to actually do real estate. Those classes they take in prep for the state test do not teach them how to effectively negotiate a deal, it does not teach them how to work with a seller to get their home in true Listing Ready condition allowing the home to justify top dollar, it does not teach them how to accurately price a home and develop a logic to support their list price, it does not teach them how to use deficiencies in a home to assist in negotiating a lower price for a buyer, it does not educate them on the importance of a full pre approval vs. a pre qualification. They are not taught how to leverage supply and demand to the benefit of a seller or a buyer, and it definitely does not teach them how to effectively market a property. So SELLERS & BUYERS BEWARE!!!!. For many of you out there your home will be the most expensive asset you ever buy or sell, so make sure whoever you choose to represent you has a proven track record of success, is fully educated how to represent you in the highest level. STOP choosing your mother’s friend’s sister’s cousin to represent you just because they have a Real Estate License. Trust me there are a lot of licensed Realtors out there who have no clue what they are doing. Be smart, only require the best and you will be successful 👊🏻#house #houses #nononsenserenos #nononsensechris #knowledge #knowledgeispower #realestate #houserenovation #flippinghouses #houseflipping #florida #floridakeys #fortmyers #capecoral #bonitasprings #naplesflorida #realtor #realtorlife #realtalk #nononsenserealestate #design #interiordesign #homestyle #creative #luxuryliving #hustle #reno #renovation #realestate

If you have been following me you know I have been

If you have been following me you know I have been renovating and successfully flipping houses with investment partners for years throughout Southwest Florida. As No Nonsense Real Estate has expanded into the Florida Keys, we are now involved in building New Construction Spec homes as there is a significant lack of New Builds thru out the keys, specifically the Marathon & Duck Key areas. I wanted to share a sneak peak into the renderings of the 1st No Nonsense New Build located in Duck Key. If you are not familiar with Duck Key it is home to the stunning Hawks Cay Resort & has incredible waterways out to the Atlantic Ocean & Gulf of Mexico. This one is going to be 4 Beds, 3 Baths, around 2k sqft living. Highlights include Concrete Block Construction, Impact Windows & Doors, a Metal Roof, Stucco Exterior Finish, Real Wood Shaker Cabinets & Bath Vanities, Granite Counters thru out, S/S Appliances, Porcelain Tile Floors thru out, & so much more. We have not finalized the target list price, but what I can say is there is only 1 New Construction Home on the market in all of Duck Key below $824K. So stay tuned for more info & let me know what you think of the renderings. #house #houses #nononsenserenos #nononsensechris #knowledge #knowledgeispower #realestate #houserenovation #flippinghouses #houseflipping #florida #floridakeys #fortmyers #capecoral #estero #bonitasprings #naplesflorida #realtor #realtorlife #realtalk #nononsenserealestate #design #homestyle #creative #luxuryliving #hustle #renovation #reno
