• Review comparable listing and sold photos to identify the finish level buyers expect at each price point and location.
• Help develop and maintain standardized spec packages by submarket and price tier to drive consistency and speed.
• Deliver complete, cost-ready spec selections within tight turnaround windows so rehab costs can be finalized during due diligence.
• Partner with asset management and pre-construction teams to resolve questions and keep selections aligned with rehab budgets and scope guidelines.
