The market changed in the middle of our projects. Our promise didn’t.
Every JCC construction agreement says it in writing: when your home sells, you walk away with at least $20,000 or $30,000 more than you put in.
Then buyers pulled back. Homes sat longer. On several of our projects, values came in well below what we projected. The work was done right. The market just stopped paying.
We could have pointed to the fine print. We kept our word instead, and cut our own fees by $50K to $75K to do it.
It’s real money for a company our size. We’d do it again.
A falling market was our risk to carry, not our homeowners’.
Agents, this is what it means when you send us a client: they stay protected even when the market doesn’t cooperate.
