The New Jersey investors partake in what is commonly referred to as “house flipping”. The investors find homes that are in need of rehab, fix them up, and then attempt to sell for a profit. With this home in Montville, New Jersey, they wanted to do an add-a-level addition along with a complete renovation of the first floor. They hired Design Build Planners to create add-a-level addition and interior renovations designs in order to better envision the space.
Below, you will find the “listing” that DBP created for the investors and the real estate listing.
