BENNA Built It | Part 3 🏡

Another day, another step closer to bringing our vision to life!

In this episode, we finished painting, priming and sanding the attic, and our bathroom is officially about 85% complete! We also made the decision to ditch the green accent wall and go BURGUNDY instead, and I’m so happy we did. 😍

Our attic will be our living room, and we’re looking for ideas on how to finish and decorate around the skylight. If you have any suggestions, drop them below!

Coming up next, we’re tackling the kitchen and giving you guys updates on the ceilings and drywall throughout the bedrooms.

Slowly but surely, this house is becoming home. Stay tuned for Part 4! 🤎

Day 2 of renovating our duplex 🏡

Today we had a FULL house. Security system getting installed, ceilings being worked on, plumbing, floors, painting… literally something happening in every room!

And now that the paint is going up, I’m starting to second guess myself a littleeee 😭 The green bathroom sounded so good in my head, but now I need opinions.

What do you guys think of the green? Keep it and trust the process, or would you change it? And if we keep it, how would you decorate the bathroom to bring everything together?

A lot is changing fast and we’re just getting started. Stay tuned for Part 3 👀

Don’t miss it! ❤️

Welcome to Part 1 of our new renovation series; BENNA Built It 👩🏼‍🔧👩🏽‍🔧! Belma and I officially bought a duplex in the City of Rochester, and we’re taking you along for the entire journey from closing table to renovation to the final transformation.

But before we get into the renovations, we have to talk about what it took to actually get here.

This transaction definitely kept us on our toes. We originally started with another bank, but after running into a few challenges, we made the decision to switch lenders mid transaction and work with Leslie Curry at Citizens Bank. Looking back, we are SO happy we made that switch. Leslie jumped right in, got up to speed on everything happening with our transaction, and was incredibly accommodating throughout the rest of the process.

We were also able to take advantage of multiple resources to make this purchase happen, including a grant through the bank, a grant through our HUD counselor, AND seller concessions. 🙌🏽

There were a lot of moving pieces behind the scenes, and we are so grateful for every single person who helped us get to the closing table.

As Realtors, we’re usually sitting at that table representing our clients. This time, we got to experience it from the other side as the buyers, and that made this closing even more special. 🥹

Now the fun REALLY starts.

We have an entire duplex to renovate, plenty of projects ahead of us, and we’re bringing you along for all of it.

The question isn’t “Would you buy this property?”

It’s how would you make your money work for you? 👀💰

32 Mill St. is the kind of opportunity that’s less about what it is today and more about what it could become tomorrow.

Four stories. A blank canvas. Endless vision.

With the proper permits, approvals and renovation, think apartments, a boutique hotel, office space, a wellness destination or an entirely different concept of your own.

Real estate investing is about seeing potential where others see work. The right property paired with the right vision can become something much bigger.

📍 32 Mill St., Port Byron, NY

So… what would YOU turn it into? 🔑

📍 32 Mill St, Port Byron, NY

Behind these doors sits four stories of serious redevelopment potential, ready for an investor or developer with the vision to bring it back to life.

Think boutique hotel. Apartments. A spa or wellness concept. Office space. Mixed use. Or an entirely different vision of your own. With the proper permits and municipal approvals, this property offers the opportunity to take an existing building and completely reimagine its future.

If you’ve been waiting for a project where you can think bigger than what already exists, this might be the one. 🔑

DM me for pricing, property details and private showings.

📍 32 Mill St | Port Byron, NY

This isn’t a property you buy for what it is today. It’s a property you buy for what it could become.

Four stories of opportunity and a blank canvas for the investor or developer with the right vision. With the proper permits, zoning approvals and town approval, imagine transforming this space into a boutique hotel, apartment style living, a spa and wellness destination, office space or an entirely new concept of your own.

Properties like this don’t come with a finished blueprint. They come with possibility.

Whether you’re looking for your next redevelopment project, an opportunity to add something new to the Port Byron community or simply a space where you can think BIG, 32 Mill St is ready for its next chapter.

The question is… what would you turn it into? 👀

Congratulations to our buyer Dave on officially becoming a HOMEOWNER🏡🔑

4 houses toured, 1 offer written, and just like that… we made it to the closing table! 🥂

In this market, it’s not about seeing 20 houses or writing offer after offer. It’s about having the right strategy from the start. With The BENNA Team in your corner, we know how to position our buyers, write competitive offers, and make moves when the right home comes along.

Dave came ready, we came with a plan, and we got it DONE. 🤍

Ready to be next? Let’s get you under contract! 🏡✨

This one was so much more than finding the perfect house. Natacha just closed on a completely renovated 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home right here in the City of Rochester, and getting her to the closing table took a TEAM.

This transaction had so many moving pieces. Between the attorneys, sellers, multiple inspectors, program advisors, lenders, grant representatives and everyone working behind the scenes, there were a lot of conversations happening at once and a lot of details that had to come together at exactly the right time.

Natacha was also able to take advantage of multiple homeownership assistance programs, including City of Rochester grants, PathStone assistance and Section 8 homeownership assistance. 💕 That meant additional requirements, inspections, paperwork, timelines and communication, but also an incredible opportunity to make homeownership more attainable.

And THAT is why who you have representing you matters.

Our job wasn’t just to open the door and write the offer. It was to keep every moving piece organized, communicate between everyone involved, stay on top of deadlines, work through the unexpected and make sure Natacha made it all the way to the closing table✨

So proud of you, Natacha. You planned for this, you stayed patient through the process and you EXECUTED. Now you get to call this beautiful home yours🤍

If you’re looking to learn what homebuyer grants may be available to you, or want to understand how you may be able to use your Section 8 voucher toward mortgage payments through a qualifying homeownership program, we’re here to help! 😊

Let’s turn the assistance available to you into a plan toward HOMEOWNERSHIP🏡🔑 ®
