Excited and looking forward to improving!

I did minor improvements to both of those, but unfortunately had to replace the roof on each (Flat roofs suck, lesson learned).

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.
