And the kicker is, or at least that is what my real estate agent tells me.  If you sell your house you really only get 10-15k depending on whether you have a bathroom or not.  Pretty much a break even prospect if you do it yourself and a loss if you hire someone. 
 
He told me not to bother to develop my basement if I was going to sell soon. 
 
I would try to do what you can yourself.  There is also the permit issue you will have to deal with.
