Elevate your Property with StayMarquis' Home Improvement Service

Our mission at StayMarquis is to remove the headache from homeownership and give owners back their time. We've spent the last few years building an end-to-end second home service, assisting at every step of the homeownership journey, from purchase and renovation to rental management and routine maintenance. Almost every other brokerage can assist you in finding and purchasing a home but step away after you close on the property. What sets us apart is that we realize that once you close is the time you need the most help. Our goal at StayMarquis is to remain your partner from the day you purchase your home until the day you sell it.

We talked about our buyer representation service, and in this post, we discuss our renovation service. Our "Refresh to Rent" program is where we serve as an owner's representative to manage any improvement or renovation from start to finish. Leveraging decades of experience and an extensive network of pre-vetted service providers, we take the reins for those who may not be local or lack the time and expertise. Whether it's a full gut renovation, minor touch-ups, or just furnishings and décor, our team ensures your vision is executed on time, within budget and to scope.

Here are some ways we differ from the competition:

• Our Team & Proven Experience: Our team of real estate agents, investment professionals, revenue analysts and construction managers, collectively, help you identify the right properties to achieve your goals. Our multi-disciplinary approach provides you with the expertise you need every step of the way. We have successfully executed 12 renovations in the last 12 months.
• Data-Driven Decision Making: We know what rents well. As a leading rental manager representing over 700 vacation homes and boutique hotels throughout the Hamptons, North Fork and Hudson Valley, we are able to identify trends before anyone else. We also leverage market-wide data to guide all home improvement recommendations to ensure you make well-informed decisions that create the most value for your home. This insight helps position your property to meet and exceed the expectations of today's competitive rental and sales market.
• Investor Mindset: Our team brings years of institutional investment experience to a nascent industry. From revenue and expense forecasts to detailed return-on-investment analyses, our analytical approach helps you identify the improvements that create the most value and best fit your needs.
• Extensive Network: Our third-party management portfolio provides us the scale to negotiate preferred rates and priority service with most vendors and contractors, allowing us to pass those savings onto you. Our experience has also allowed us to build a robust rolodex of trusted vendors that have a strong track record of great, honest work. We carefully curate partnerships with these vendors who align with our commitment to excellence. This network is a testament to our dedication to providing top-notch service, ensuring that your renovation is not only cost-effective but also carried out with the utmost professionalism and craftsmanship.

Our Process

For property owners seeking a hassle-free and expert-led renovation experience, StayMarquis offers the ideal solution. Our "Refresh to Rent" service is designed to custom tailor the preparation of your property for either rental or personal use. The process begins with an in-depth report detailing all potential improvements and rental impacts to quantify return on cost and payback periods for specific improvements. We then assist with refining a scope, bid procurement and negotiation, contract reviews, and overall coordination and management of the team, budget, and schedule. Whether it may be refurnishing a space, upgrading a kitchen, or backyard activation, we can assist in the ideation, team oversight, and project execution to bring your dream property to life.
