One of the biggest questions sellers face is whether to invest time and money into fixing up their home — or just sell it as-is and move on.
The right answer depends on your timeline, budget, and goals, but understanding the pros and cons of both paths will help you make the best choice for your situation.

This can save time and reduce stress — especially if you’re dealing with inherited property, relocating quickly, or just don’t want to manage contractors.
