In this market we must take
advantage of every opportunity to set your house apart from all the
others. This includes making sure that your virtual tour and photo
shots prompt buyers and agents to take a closer look at your home
and schedule a showing appointment.
Below are a few of the common
things homeowners forget about when preparing for a photo
shoot.
Inside:
Make sure that most everything is
off your counter tops. Pay special attention to clutter like
letters, keys and dishes. Try to put small appliances out of sight
for the shots.
Look at bathrooms and remove
makeup, toothbrushes etc. from countertops.
Try to hide cords as much as
possible. You can even temporarily unplug some things if cords are
too visible.
Make sure all children’s toys are
put out of sight.
Put your pet bowls away
Outside:
Remove ANY debris from around the
house. Put all toys and bicycles out of sight.
Wash your entryway, patio
etc.
Remove any dead plants (not
dormant).
Stage your patio furniture, how
you use your living space does not necessarily translate well in a
photo.
Try to look at everything as if
through a camera lens, you may even want to have a friend come over
and take a look.
I provide my clients with a
pre-photo shoot inspection by a professional photographer. He uses
a checklist to inspect the home and makes recommendations for
corrections. When you are ready you just schedule your appointment
for your video/virtual tour. For more information about this
program and other ways you can get your home sell ready contact me
