Basic staging with an agent usually means they give you insight into how you should:Declutter and depersonalize by removing photos and personal itemsArrange your furniture to improve the room’s flow and make it feel biggerAdd plants, move art, or re-arrange other accessoriesFull-service staging is another option if your house needs more hands-on attention.

The renovation ought to be done and photos taken.  

Quote from @Monish Anand: Start by looking for personal recommendations from investors in that market, then look on realtor.com or a google search.DO NOT use agents suggested by a website like realtor, Zillow, etc.

If you did not like that experience, maybe you should try a smaller company to get a more personalized service experience.  

However, normal wear and tear (like some dust or minor carpet stains) shouldn’t count.It’s always a good idea to take photos and keep a record of the condition before the tenant moves in and after they move out.

But there arent a lot of photos. 

The rental market is already showing signs of recovery:Spring Is Coming: Historically, the rental market picks up momentum in the spring as tenants prepare to move during warmer months or ahead of the school year.Early 2025 Trends Are Positive: In just the first week of January, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in rental applications, suggesting pent-up demand from renters who delayed their searches in November and December.What Landlords Can Do NowTo make the most of this recovery, consider:Refreshing Your Listings: Update your photos, descriptions, and pricing to ensure your properties stand out.Offering Incentives: Temporary discounts or move-in bonuses can help fill vacancies quickly.Being Patient: The market is already bouncing back, so don’t panic if your property takes a bit longer to lease than usual.What’s been your experience?

While Facebook Marketplace isn't the sketchiest site (craigslist), I personally would never give my ID across it.

Personally I don't ask for pics unless there is an issue and she sends them to me automatically.IMHO if you have a good cleaner that you trust, asking for photos is probably superfluous. 

There usually aren't photos of the basements and that's were most of the big ticket issues are.
