Cost
You may be thinking that hiring two people will cost you unnecessarily. If you're lucky, you find that unicorn property manager who is also an interior designer, you still don't want to pay up. After all, you should be able to handle this yourself.
However, you do not have the real estate industry experience that they have. You could end up overpaying your contractors for material and labor by hiring incapable contractors. Property managers are needed because they secure several contacts during their time working in the industry. They know the best contractors for the job.

Maximize Your Space Utility
Interior designers can do magic with your space. You don't know what optimally using a space means until an interior designer hasn't shifted things around in it. You can take advantage of every unique or awkward nook and cranny in your home.
They could accomplish a lot with a little. You might want to make the space look bigger by tearing out a wall, and they achieve the same by hanging a few strategically placed mirrors.
You may have left a corner in your home as an unusable space. You may think you can't do anything with it. An interior designer could give you not one but a multitude of ways to utilize that dead space according to your style.
Furnishings
While shopping for furniture, you will only find expensive pieces in standard shapes and sizes. You may find something cool on the Facebook marketplace or Amazon, but you can't furnish your whole home with one item.
Interior designers have teams of workers who prepare furniture or reupholster it to suit your style. You might be able to use the furniture you already have by getting it reupholstered or painted by their team. They also have stock of ready-made furnishings like throws and pillows, decorations, and even sofas that they might charge you much less for than the store.
Deadlines
Getting everyone to finish your renovations on time is a headache. You don't want to run after contractors and suppliers all the time getting updates. Wouldn't it be better to receive updates from your property manager, who keeps tabs on everything? We are sure that the stress of not being in your home and day-to-day life in a makeshift living situation can catch up to you. If you have a whole family, handling the kids' adjustment is enough trouble.
You will want the renovations to be over as soon as possible for life to return to normal. You also can't wait to see your vision come to life. A property manager can ensure work gets done as close to the original deadline.
Resale
