Staging isn’t mandatory, but it often helps buyers visualize the space and can lead to faster sales and better offers. Typical costs include agent commissions, closing costs, and any needed repairs or staging expenses. I can run a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to estimate your home’s value based on recent sales in your area. Small fixes and cosmetic updates can boost appeal and price. I can advise what’s worth doing—and what’s not. It depends on your location, pricing, and condition. On average, well-priced homes sell in 30–60 days in a balanced market.
