Renovate with Confidence - Unstoppable Agent Series

Not every home on the market is turnkey but every home has potential.

As Spokane’s real estate market grows more competitive, agents who can help clients see possibilities beyond what’s in front of them will stand out. Whether it’s a dated kitchen, unfinished basement, or a property that simply needs some love, buyers are searching for opportunity and they’re counting on you to guide them.

That’s where the Unstoppable Agent Series comes in.

In this workshop, Renovate with Confidence, you’ll gain the tools and knowledge to transform “fixer-upper hesitation” into client confidence. By understanding both the financing strategies and the construction process, you’ll position yourself as a trusted advisor who can help buyers unlock hidden value in properties others may overlook.

What You’ll Learn

This is not theory, it’s practical, real-world insight from two professionals working in the trenches every day:

By the end of this workshop, you’ll know how to:
