From updating a 1930s classic with modern amenities and delivering his clients a 542% return on their original investment, to overseeing the transformation of a two-bedroom condo into a market-ready three-bed, two-bath home, Soren thrives on helping sellers unlock hidden value. His trusted partnerships with skilled, affordable local contractors make ambitious projects achievable.
