Want faster offers on your house? Hide these 5 things before your photographer arrives!

When buyers scroll online, visual clutter stops them from picturing themselves in your space. To pull off a picture-perfect listing photo shoot, make sure to hide:

-Family Photos & Personal Identity Items: Clear off picture frames, diplomas, and personalized door signs so buyers focus on the home, not the occupants.
-Pet Essentials: Tuck away food bowls, crates, litter boxes, and pet toys to present a pristine, low-maintenance environment.
-Everyday Toiletries: Clear bathroom counters completely. Remove toothbrushes, shampoos, soaps, and used towels.
-Excess Wires & Cords: Unplug or hide dangling electronics cords behind furniture to keep views clean and spacious.
-Valuables & Financial Documents: Protect your privacy and security by stashing away mail, prescription bottles, jewelry, and expensive electronics.

​Save this checklist for your upcoming photo shoot, and share it with a friend who is preparing to list!

Getting the keys is a huge win, but keeping your financial sanity afterward is the real goal. Before you sign on the dotted line, keep these non-negotiable rules in mind:

​Don't max out your pre-approval limit: Just because the lender says you can borrow $400k doesn't mean you should. Leave room for life, savings, and peace of mind.

​Account for all the costs: Budget an extra 2% to 5% of the purchase price for lender fees, title insurance, and taxes due at closing. Plan out what you'll need for earnest money and inspection costs. You should also be planning for future property taxes, HOA fees, home insurance, and routine maintenance.

​Budget for the actual move: Truck rentals, movers, boxes, and immediate utility setup add up fast. Don't let moving day drain your emergency fund.

​Don't forget you still need savings: Things will inevitably come up while you own the home. Make sure you'll have room in your finances for the unexpected.

​A home should be an asset, not a financial trap. Buy the house that fits your lifestyle, not just your maximum borrowing limit. Follow along for more tips!

The biggest mistake home buyers make? Waiting “just in case” something better comes along.

​If a home hits 80% of your wants, fits your budget, and feels like home, that’s not a compromise. That’s your green light! Don't let "perfect" ruin "great."

What’s the #1 feature you refuse to compromise on when home hunting? Drop it in the comments!
