George Panagopoulos, Associate Broker at Douglas Elliman Roslyn, NY, has observed this trend firsthand as more clients prioritize homes that are ready to move into on day one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Since the pandemic, the price of building materials and skilled labor has increased substantially, making renovation projects far less appealing to today&#8217;s buyers. George Panagopoulos, a well-known <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/pressreleases\/real-estate-listing-agent-in-roslyn-ny-shares-five-tips-for-buyers-navigating-a-competitive-market_823728.html\">real estate agent in Roslyn, NY<\/a>, has watched this shift play out across nearly every transaction he handles. &#8220;Buyers today are far less willing to take on a project,&#8221; he explains. &#8220;The cost and complexity of renovations have grown so much that move-in-ready homes are commanding a premium, while properties needing work often face pushback or require price adjustments.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This change has reshaped how George advises both buyers and sellers. As one of the most respected <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/share.google\/qjrAk9RvHusio83eP\">Realtor agents in Roslyn, NY<\/a>, he now spends significant time helping sellers understand which updates are worth making before listing, and helping buyers weigh renovation risk against long-term value.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">George&#8217;s approach draws on a distinctive background. Raised in his family&#8217;s restaurant business in Flushing, Queens, and later spending over eight years on Wall Street valuing residential real estate portfolios, he brings a rare blend of analytical rigor and personal service to every deal.
