A realtor doing high volume, you don't have to use one you can poll 3-5 agents see what they do to get you the comps and then pick that person to help you.

My wife and I also own the only interior design company specifically for real estate investors, Ivory Home.

Budget carefully, prioritize high-ROI renovations, and adhere to strict timelines to maximize profitability.

I found the house on Zillow and ended up going through an agent.

"Good" areas will be priced high, "Bad" areas will be priced low. 

Quote from @Briley Roe:  yes those fees are very high as you have a broker fee and other fees for a loan little over $100k at 6+ points. 

Rental Property is located in Upstate NY in Oneida County.I have a tenant who is currently scheduled to have their lease end at the end of February; they will have only occupied the unit for a year at the end of their lease.I'm not looking to extend their lease and would like to have the unit vacant upon lease end.

When is the last time you did a walk-thru (highly recommend taking a video!)?

The lease language requires the interior of the building to heat to 70 degrees.

Did anyone advise you, mentor you ,on how to find and vet an interior decorator?
