Hi Mike! I always put the designation of ownership for photos in my listing agreements. Do you have your former listing agreement that may outline that for you? Did you compensate your agent for the photos when you removed your listing? You could always reach back out to that agent and see if they will release them to you. Hoping it works out for you. Best of luck going back on the market!

Hi Michelle! In my professional opinion it all depends on how many bedrooms the home already has in place. I would suggest if the home only has 2 or 3 bedrooms adding a 3/4 bedroom is a huge benefit however if the home already has 5 or 6 bedrooms, the extra living and entertainment space is definitely more desirable. There are pros and cons to each decision with this potential renovation. I would suggest if you are doing it for a resale standpoint look at what the other homes in your area offer and how you can stand apart. If you are doing the renovation for your personal wants and needs, you live in the home so make sure to do what you need to make the space work for you. Good luck on your potential renovations!
