YES! Hiring a professional stager can be a valuable investment, as they can assist you in showcasing the best features of your property and creating an appealing environment for potential buyers. This is particularly true for vacant homes, as staging can help to give them a sense of warmth and livability. Even if you currently live in your home, consulting with a stager and working with your existing furniture can still enhance the property's overall appeal.
The time required to prepare your property for sale can vary depending on its size, condition, and the extent of the repairs and upgrades needed. If more extensive projects or repairs are required, the timeline may also be influenced by the availability and schedule of vendors or contractors.

Opting for a pre-listing inspection can be advantageous in several ways. First, it can help you identify any potential issues with your property that may impact its value or marketability. Second, it can allow you time to address any necessary repairs or disclosures before listing the property for sale. Doing so can increase the likelihood of attracting potential buyers and may also increase the chances of a buyer waiving their inspection contingency. This can lead to a smoother and faster transaction, saving you time and money in the long run.
