RSS FeedIs Your Home Photo Ready |
Sep. 24, 2007

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
