  • Interior Staging & Decluttering: Neutralize personalized decor, deep-clean carpets and grout lines, and arrange furniture to highlight natural light and architectural flow.
  • Pre-Listing Repairs & Inspections: Fix minor plumbing leaks, sticky doors, and cracked window seals prior to buyer inspections to prevent renegotiation.
