Agent + Builder, aligned: fewer surprises, smarter offers, & happier buyers.

Hale Design Build partners with Engel & Völkers agents to evaluate properties before your clients buy—so they can act confidently and agents close faster.

How the partnership benefits agents & clients

For Engel & Völkers Agents

  • Win listings & offers with confidence: Real budget estimates and timelines reduce cold feet and renegotiations.

  • Shorten the cycle: Clear scope = cleaner offers, fewer inspection re-trades.

  • White-glove experience: Co-branded reports you can send the same week.

  • Protect your reputation: Clients feel informed, not overwhelmed.

For Engel & Völkers Buyers

  • No more guessing: What will the kitchen cost? Can we add a bath? Finish the attic?

  • Local know-how: North Shore permitting, historic district reviews, and coastal /weatherproofing best practices.

  • Plan the first year: What to do now vs. later, with phased budgets.

What Hale Delivers

Pre-Purchase Walk (60 minutes, on site)

  • Feasibility on top 3 priorities (e.g., kitchen re-layout, primary suite, addition)

  • Budget bands: Good / Better / Best with ballparks (e.g., Kitchen: $65–95k / $95–135k / $135k+)

  • Timeline brackets: Permit + build windows by town (e.g., Gloucester, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Beverly Farms)

  • Risk flags: Structure, moisture, electrical service, lead/abatement, zoning overlays

  • Next steps: Phased plan (what’s Day-1, Year-1, and “someday”)

48-Hour Feasibility Snapshot (PDF)

  • Co-branded, 2–3 pages

  • Scope notes, budget bands, timing, and key assumptions

  • Photos/markups from the walk (same angles as listing photos when possible)
