I would say it 100% depends on the market. If you are in a market where you can get multiple offers and can sell within a few days, I would not say it is worth it. For example, locally in Vancouver in 2016 I saw some people bottlenecking their listings while waiting for staging to occur...

I have bought and sold both personally and commercially in the last 4 months. As Thomas said, there are many variables. Feel free to contact me for my experiences Sent from my iPhone using myREINspace

Hi, It really depends where you are looking and the condition of the market. In a slower market, longer closings can be practical. To answer your question, yes it is possible. Can also do an option to purchase agreement as well. I would find an investment oriented Realtor in the area and get...

Lots of listings in this market have bonuses for the cooperating Realtor. Offer a bonus commission for them and you’ll get more showings. Any bonus helps Regards, Devin Roberts Brent Roberts Realty
