Full-scale staging is only appropriate in some situations. For most sellers, staging is a simple process of getting the home ready to be JUDGED by others. Cleaning and decluttering a home can help potential buyers see the potential in the space.

Maybe! In almost every situation, you should have the home inspected by a licensed inspector. Inspectors can catch things that might impact the long-term value of your purchase and save you thousands of dollars in repair costs. Don't buy someone else's problems.
If you're planning to level the home or start a full-rehab of the property, go ahead and buy without an inspection.
