Prepare Your Listing
This guide is designed to help you prepare your property for a professional photoshoot. Following these simple steps will ensure your property looks its best and leaves a lasting impression on potential buyers.
High-quality, professional images are one of the most powerful marketing tools when selling a property. These tips will help make your listing stand out and attract more buyers. Keeping spaces clutter-free makes rooms appear larger and more inviting, allowing buyers to envision themselves living in the home. Removing unnecessary items creates a blank canvas for their imagination.
Checklist
Imagine the feeling of walking into a clean, inviting space, like a five-star hotel—this is the experience we want your buyers to have. Professional photos capture every detail, including dust, water stains, or smudged mirrors. If time is tight, consider hiring a cleaning service to prepare the home the day before the shoot.
Kitchens
- Conceal or remove old small appliances.
- Put away dishes, pots, and pans, or neatly arrange them if they will be visible.
- Remove small decorative items, such as fridge magnets.
- Wipe down all surfaces to eliminate food stains or drips.
- Stage your kitchen island or dining table with plates, cutlery, and glasses to create an inviting atmosphere.
Bathrooms
Make sure all bathroom counters are clean and clutter-free, with toiletries neatly put away. Fresh towels and a spotless mirror can significantly enhance the bathroom’s appeal.
Bedrooms
Make the bed, fluff the pillows, and clear any clutter from bedside tables and dressers. Neatly arranged spaces help the room feel more spacious and welcoming.
Living Rooms
Remove unnecessary items and personal belongings. Arrange furniture to showcase the space and maximize the room’s appeal.
Additional Tips
Here are a few additional tips to get your home ready for the shoot:
- Not Always A Pawsitive: Conceal pet items like toys, bowls, and leashes, as they can distract or discourage some buyers.
- Cord Management: Visible cords can make a home look cluttered. Unplug unused electronics and hide wires whenever possible.
- Honey-Do List: Fix small issues like chipped paint, dents, or loose baseboards. These imperfections can show up in photos and create a negative impression.
- Closets: Organized closets can be a strong selling point. Remove unused items and arrange remaining clothes by category and color for a neat, magazine-worthy look.
- Lights, Camera, Action: Ensure all light bulbs are working and match in color temperature to avoid uneven lighting in your photos.
- Green Thumb: Tidy the exterior by hiding garbage bins, raking leaves, trimming trees, mowing the lawn, storing gardening tools, and wiping down outdoor furniture.
- No One’s Home: On the day of the shoot, park vehicles away from the property to help buyers envision the home as their own.
