Built in 1954, the home had all original finishes. Jackie's renovation project involved a comprehensive overhaul of their home. The plans included structural changes to the floor plan, relocating the kitchen, and adding an extension to accommodate their growing family with two daughters aged four and one and a half.

How Realm helped:
Jackie’s renovation advisor, Amberly, helped her understand if the project estimates were reasonable, clarify doubts about the builder, and offer insights into industry practices. This personalized support brought much-needed peace of mind to Jackie during a time when making critical renovation decisions could feel overwhelming while updating their home.
