Should the estate sell the Woodstock property as-is or renovate?

As-is or renovated is a financial decision for the estate to make with real numbers in hand, not a default choice, since a Woodstock renovation only pays off if the resale gain covers the cost and delay. Joel Boss walks executors through which repairs a buyer's inspection is likely to flag versus which upgrades rarely return their cost. Many estates choose as-is simply to avoid fronting renovation money before the sale closes.
