        "text": "Seismic retrofitting often improves resale value and marketability, especially in quake‑aware markets like Pasadena and Rancho Palos Verdes. Buyers increasingly ask whether older buildings have been strengthened.\n\nA completed retrofit can differentiate your property from similar unretrofitted stock and reduce buyer concerns about future damage, downtime, and mandatory upgrades. While you may not recoup every dollar immediately, it can help maintain value and shorten time on market.\n\nKey factors:\n- Local buyer awareness of seismic issues and ordinances\n- Quality and documentation of the retrofit\n- Insurance availability and potential premium advantages\n- Comparative condition vs. similar properties that have not been upgraded\n\nWhen listing, highlight the retrofit scope, permits, and engineer sign‑offs, and be prepared to show documents. Educate potential buyers on how the work reduces risk and future compliance costs.\n\nA well‑documented retrofit often becomes a selling point, not just an expense."
