When a tenant vacates a rental property, it’s important to bring the property back to mint condition. These may include repairs, enhancements, repainting and landscaping to bring the property to an optimal condition.

The condition of your property is one of the keys to getting the most value during a transaction. Home staging is the art of preparing a property for rent to showcase it’s best condition.
