Property Search:What Buyers Need to Know
How do I know if a home is a good investment?
The best investment properties have strong resale potential, structural integrity, and smart renovation upside. If you’re searching in Creston, Alger Heights, or Eastown, we help you assess whether the home is a smart buy or a money pit.
Should I get a contractor to inspect a home before buying?
Yes! When searching for homes, most buyers only rely on a standard home inspection. But with WilCo contractors + Paige Etheridge Realty, you get a contractor-backed evaluation that breaks down:
-What needs fixing (foundation, electrical, plumbing, structural issues).
-How much renovations will cost (kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, curb appeal).
-Whether the home is worth the asking price.
How do I find homes with renovation potential?
Not every fixer-upper is a good deal. The best properties have:
Strong location (Historic homes in Heritage Hill, growing markets in Creston & Eastown).
Good structure (Avoid major foundation issues).
High resale potential (Look for buyer demand in the area).
We specialize in helping buyers search for properties that have strong appreciation potential.

What Sellers Need to Know
What home improvements increase property value before selling?
When listing your home, the right pre-sale renovations can help it sell faster and for more money. The best updates include:
Kitchen & bath updates (Small changes make a big impact).
Curb appeal (Landscaping, fresh exterior paint).
New flooring & paint (Neutral colors = more offers).
How do I price my home correctly?
Pricing too high can cause a home to sit on the market. Pricing too low leaves money on the table. With our strategy, we:
Analyze current market trends in your neighborhood.
Compare recent sales in Heritage Hill, Ottawa Hills, and East Grand Rapids.
Factor in any pre-sale renovations to boost value.
What Investors Need to Know
How do I estimate rehab costs before buying?
Before purchasing an investment property, you need to calculate renovation costs upfront. We help investors break down:
Structural repairs vs. cosmetic updates.
High-ROI renovations for resale value.
What to avoid (over-improving for the area).
