# Do I need to renovate my Boerum Hill home before selling?

Boerum Hill buyers value both historic character and turnkey condition - which one matters more depends on your specific property type. For brownstones in the historic district, preserve and restore. For newer-construction units, sell as-is unless something is visibly broken. The smart pre-sale investments are paint, deep cleaning, decluttering, and addressing obvious deferred maintenance. Call The Franzese Group at (718) 666-2696 before any project.
