Disputes
" I was terrified about managing a $350K renovation from Sweden, but their milestone payment system gave me complete control. Weekly photo updates, verified contractor payments, and a dedicated project manager made it seamless. We finished 2 months early and saved $65K compared to other quotes. I never had to set foot in Brooklyn until move-in day.
