It depends on price point and how fast things are moving in your market...I stage a few items in the kitchen and bath for pictures...and have some chairs and tables I got at the thrift store ..add bright pillows and a few plants and place on the porch or deck ...again for pictures...I don't do the rest of the house ...

This vs, an inspection report which is not from the tenant.Though during the 4 years he was there:He broke, and I paid for all the following out of my pocket.washer dryer, new garbage disposal, broke 2 drawers, broke front door security gate lock, broke front door lock, broke kitchen faucet, I re caulked bathroom, changed light switch, installed iron chair railing(because he complained after living there 3 years ), ceiling fan, toilet seat.
