The algorithm is properly ignoring your listing now.

He received quotes to remove the texture ceiling, paint the interior, purchase and install new kitchen cabinets and counters (including completing the design), picked out 2 floorings to get quotes which will be provided this week, and determined furnace is beyond saving (I will likely get HVAC quote for him).  

We went all in on renovations—tore down a chimney to open up the space, put on a new roof, installed HVAC, updated floors, and completely redid the kitchen.

I'm actually interviewing PMs and CO Hosts this week, and Handyman for installation of all the furnishings set to show up at the property in January. 

When you say "is it proper etiquette to ask the seller's agent to share this info with us..." what info are you asking for specifically?

I think flipping is the way to go on this project since it’s my first deal which has always been the plan but very grateful for some guidance. 5 weeks of tear out, wall paper removal 🙃, new electrical, deck supports, HVAC install…we start putting it back together!

Windows are part of the floor plans so always make sure you do your proper due diligence.
