Should I clean out or renovate an inherited house before selling?

Cleaning out an inherited house is almost always worth doing before listing, while a full renovation rarely is, since buyers can see past personal belongings but not past a project mid-repair. Joel Boss helps heirs sort what actually affects a sale price from what is simply cosmetic, so money gets spent only where it changes a buyer's offer. Selling as-is after a clean-out is often the faster, more profitable route for an estate.
