        "text": "A cosmetic renovation primarily involves surface-level updates that improve aesthetics without altering the property's structure or layout. Examples include painting, new flooring, updated light fixtures, and minor kitchen/bathroom refreshes. A full renovation, conversely, involves more extensive changes that may include structural modifications, reconfiguring floor plans, major kitchen and bathroom remodels with layout changes, and updating electrical or plumbing systems. Full renovations are more costly and time-consuming but can yield higher increases in property value.",
