Serial Renovator : Charmaine Smith In this episode, I have a very fascinating guest, Charmaine Smith. She's a fashion designer, a licensed real estate agent for high end properties, and a serial renovator. Charmaine and I are chalk and cheese when in comes to delivering our reno projects but, our renovating aspects are so aligned that I had to invite her to share her story of being a hands on renovator. Also, she will share her top tips to the women out there who want to venture on renovating for profit.
