I would check with your city or county Development Services department or permits to see who originally filed for it. You could also check with the master plan or development subdivision map that was submitted for approval. Sorry to hear about your home damage. Best success to you.

Hi Hudson, I would start with meeting with an agent to get the most recent sales information in your community and review photos from the listings. Once you know what condition they are in and what they sold for, you can set a budget of what you're comfortable spending. I just sold a home that needed updating, but they had a limited budget. We refreshed the paint in the living room and entry, de-cluttered and removed some of the large furniture. We also had the windows cleaned, touched up baseboards, and removed outdated curtains. I did some decor staging as well. We were under contract within two weeks. It depends on your market, of course. I would also interview a few agents and ask for input and also ask what their marketing strategy would be. Best success to you!
