GETTING YOUR HOME READY FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHER:
Here are a few quick and simple things you can do to help us make your home look really sharp on-line and on all other marketing materials:
INSIDE THE HOUSE:
- Replace all burned out light bulbs (even in lamps).
- Replace all compact fluorescent light bulbs with standard bulbs. It simply make the photos look better and gives the home a warmer appearance during showings.
- De-clutter everywhere. Hide even those items you use everyday (all items on counters in kitchen, bathrooms and on surfaces throughout the house. You can put the items back out after the photographer leaves. To make sure the home looks its very best in pictures we must really make an effort to keep the pictures from being cluttered with distracting items.
- De-personalize the home. Take down and put away any family pictures or religious items. The only reason for this is that we want the potential buyers to be able to visualize their family in the home and when we work with buyers they are often distracted by these items. This also helps to protect your negotiating position...the less the buyer knows about you the better.
- Make sure the beds are made and the home is Clean Clean Clean....but that is an obvious one.
Outside The House:
- Move all cars out of the driveway, carport or from the front of the home.
- Depending on the season: rake leaves, cut grass, shovel snow, etc.
- Make sure garbage and recycling bins are out of sight.
- Clean up those areas which are often neglected: under decks, beside house, etc.
