Decide what to fix before listing, and show buyers what the rest could be.
Before a sale the question is which work pays for itself and which is better shown than done. Rendering both answers that faster than a walkthrough with an agent.
Open the StudioWhat usually goes wrong

Questions
- Can I use these in a listing?
- Yes, subject to your local rules on disclosing staged or rendered imagery.
- Should I remodel before selling?
- That is your call — this shows you both versions so the decision is made against pictures rather than guesses.
