Three generations built the blueprint.
This September, it's yours.
For the first time, we are teaching the exact framework our family has used for three generations to find, restore, build, and sell homes. Live, together, from the first showing to the final coat. You bring the vision. We hand you the blueprint.
Beautiful homes are not accidents. They are good decisions, made in the right order.
We teach the decisions. And the order they go in.
You won't leave with inspiration. You'll leave with judgment.
Every session is recorded and yours to keep, with a community of people building alongside you.
Start where you are.
Founding Cohort pricing, below. This is the only group that will ever pay it. Future cohorts are priced to the maturity of the program.

What this replaces.
One wrong decision can cost more than the entire program. Here's what those decisions actually run, and what this is built to help you avoid.
We saw what they could become.
Two old houses on the North Shore. Most people would have called them teardowns. This is the framework you learn inside the cohort, applied to real houses with real numbers. And it's not just history. We're using the same framework right now on our own home, a restoration we're documenting publicly as we go.

This is for you if
- You are about to make a six-figure decision and want it right
- You trust a good eye over your own, for now
- You want the process, not just inspiration
- You are ready to do the work, not just watch
This is not for you if
- You want a magic shortcut with no effort
- You want us to make the decisions for you
- You expect guaranteed returns on a house
- You want to learn without ever doing
We did not inherit money. We inherited a way of seeing houses.
Our grandparents passed that way of thinking to our parents. Our parents passed it to us. It taught us how to recognize potential, avoid expensive mistakes, and create homes people value for decades.
These cohorts are the first time we are passing that playbook outside our own family.
Every house is different.
We cannot promise your results will look like ours. What we can promise is this: we will teach you the exact framework we have used for three generations to make better decisions. What you build with it is up to you.

Why most homeowners lose money before they begin.
Everyone thinks renovating is expensive. It is. But expensive renovations are rarely caused by expensive finishes. They're caused by expensive decisions.
Buying the wrong house.
Hiring the wrong contractor.
Demolishing before the design is finished.
Choosing cabinets before the layout is settled.
Changing your mind halfway through construction.
The biggest mistakes happen before the work even begins. Nobody teaches homeowners how to make those decisions. So we built the education we wish existed.
There are only two decisions that matter.
For three generations, our family has lived at the intersection of real estate, construction, and design.
We've bought homes and sold them. Restored historic properties and built new construction. Designed for clients, negotiated deals, and managed contractors through every kind of project.
Over time we realized something. Underneath all of it, there are only two decisions that actually move the outcome: finding the right house, and building it the right way. Everything else is just learning to make those two decisions well.
The Kaage Framework.
It comes as two classes. One teaches you how to buy the right house. The other teaches you how to transform it. They share one way of thinking. You take the one you need, or both.
Find It.
Buy with confidence. Class 01 · for buyers.
The first of the two classes. Before you spend a dollar on renovations, before you interview a single contractor, before you fall in love with a kitchen, you need to know whether you're buying the right house. Find It teaches how we evaluate property. Not emotionally. Strategically.
Learn to read a house.
How we walk into a house and know, within minutes, whether it's worth pursuing. Not on a feeling. On the architecture, the construction, and the bones.
Buy, build, renovate, or stay?
The framework for making the biggest housing decision of your life on purpose, instead of by accident.
The assumption zone.
The things every buyer assumes are fine, the roof, the HVAC, the windows, the grading, whether it floods, what's behind the walls. Skip them to do the pretty work first and they cost you later. We teach you how to see them and plan for them.
What it's worth, and what it could be.
How we assign value to a property as it is, and how we see the potential most buyers walk right past. The gap between the two is where the opportunity lives.
Understanding your financing.
How construction loans, HELOCs, renovation loans, interest-only draws, and cash actually work, what each one costs you, and the tradeoffs of each. We teach the mechanics in full. You decide what fits.
By the end of Find It, you'll evaluate homes on long-term potential, not just finishes, and know a good house from an expensive mistake.
Buying the right house is only half the equation. Now comes the part that costs people the most money.
Build It.
Build once. Build well. Class 02 · for owners.
The second class. Most renovations don't blow the budget because people spend too much. They blow it because decisions happen in the wrong order. Build It teaches the exact system we use to run every Kaage Homes project. Not just beautiful design. An organized construction process.
Vision before demolition.
How to make every major decision before construction begins, when changing your mind is still free.
The sequence.
Structure, systems, layout, storage, lighting, materials, then decoration. The order is the whole game.
The value framework.
Where money creates value and where it vanishes. What buyers notice, what appraisers notice, and what nobody notices at all.
Running your team.
Architect, designer, builder, trades. Who you hire, when you hire them, and what each is actually responsible for.
Construction administration.
Weekly meetings, selections, approvals, budgets, schedules, and change orders. How we keep a project moving.
The Kaage playbook.
The real documents we run on. Selection trackers, meeting agendas, budgets, punch lists, bid comparison sheets, cabinet schedules. Yours to keep.
You'll leave knowing exactly what to do next, whether you're remodeling one room or building an entire home.
Why this cohort is different.
You'll learn the framework while we apply it in real time.
This fall, we're documenting a live historic restoration of our own. As we teach each step, you'll watch us make the same decision on a real house, with real stakes and a real budget. Not a polished case study filmed after the fact. The actual decisions, as we make them.
The house, as it happens, is Old Man Marley's, the one next door to the house from Home Alone. The one the kid was scared of. We're bringing it back, and you'll be there for it.
What it's like to work with us.
"They took meticulous care to understand our vision and brought it to life 10x over."
"An awkward, long, narrow kitchen turned into an inviting, functional space."
"Collaboration, strategic thinking, and a proactive approach truly set them apart."
"Continually awed by the breadth of skill and experience on this team."
"They educated us every step of the way. We always knew why we were doing what we were doing."
"Our only regret is not finding them sooner."
Real reviews from real clients
Meet your teachers.
We didn't inherit a business. We inherited a way of thinking.
Grace and KC Kaage grew up in families where real estate and design weren't careers, they were the dinner table conversation. Grace is our Chief Creative Officer and a former Compass Managing Director. KC runs the business with an MBA and a background in international sales.
Three generations taught us the same lesson from two directions: the people who design a home and the people who build it should be the same people, thinking about value the whole way through. That's what we teach here.
Everything included.
