I spent a lot of time with my contractor choosing tile, appliances, carpet, lighting fixtures, etc and also defining what a easy, medium, and full rehab of an apartment would cost. 

The particleboard roof tiles are trashed and it needs new lights.

I went over a dark red with a light teal in a single coat using a higher quality paint. 

That's where an experienced realtor can help.The comparable properties need to be as close to identical as possible in style (don't comp a bungalow with a colonial) and the number of beds, baths, square feet of living area and lot size, garage and basement specs, septic vs town sewer, year built and condition.A few things I use to look for regarding condition if I can't visit the property - updated kitchen and baths (granite/stainless, cabinets, backsplashes, lighting), landscaping (manicured vs overgrown) and the appearance of the interior rooms. 

We specialize in all phases of residential remodeling including kitchens,bathrooms, flooring, finished basements, lighting and plumbing fixtures, as well as windows, roofs and siding.

I hope this shed some light on your questions!

Tread lightly my friend.

Maybe I am missing something, but appreciate if anyone can shed some light on this!
