Ep.77 The Truth About Construction, Design, and Property Value
In this conversation with Gonzalo, we get into what really separates a good project from a great one — and it has nothing to do with cutting corners. Gonzalo grew up in a family of builders, and that foundation shows in the way he approaches every home. His philosophy is simple: do it right, even when it costs more, because the end result is a home people can feel proud of.
We talk about the evolution of his business, the pressure flippers face to balance quality with budget, and why design is no longer optional if you want to stand out in this market. Gonzalo shares the real numbers, the real challenges, and the real wins — especially when it comes to kitchens, bathrooms, and strategic upgrades that actually move the needle for buyers.
But what stands out most is his commitment to transparency and relationships. Whether it’s negotiating better pricing, building a consistent brand, or guiding homeowners through remodel decisions, Gonzalo leads with honesty and trust. And in today’s market, that’s rare.
