Check out this great article about prepping and staging a home for photos. “The easiest way I tell homeowners to prepare a home for photography is to make it feel like someone lives there, without feeling lived in. Think about a nice hotel room. Everything has a place. It’s clean, comfortable, and inviting. My general rule is: if it doesn’t add value to the space, take it out. You don’t want the home to feel empty. You want it to feel intentional.” – Corey Kline of Corey Anthony Photography

Prepping your home for a photoshoot may be more work than you think. Get your game plan from the industry experts.

"Spending money on repairs and improvements that are not critical to buying will not necessarily bring a higher return, especially in a price-sensitive market. One of the most reasonably priced things a seller can do is ensure the property is clean and well-maintained, even if it is not the most updated."❤️🏡

I'm fascinated by these "Co-buying" platforms! I'd forecast this to be the wave of the future.

"Pairgap, for example, structures co-buying agreements through what Merkerson calls a “real estate prenup.”"

https://pairgap.com/ Matches co-buyers—friends, families, investors and strangers—and provides tools to create and manage co-ownership agreements while real estate professionals handle the property search and closing.

https://www.pacaso.com/ A luxury second-home co-ownership platform that partners with real estate professionals, who remain involved in transactions, while Pacaso manages structure, scheduling and co-ownership.

https://www.cobuy.io/ Software for group purchases, budgeting and ownership agreements, with real estate professionals supporting transaction ex*****on.

https://joynt.com/ A co-ownership management platform that provides support throughout the process, while also working alongside agents and brokers.

https://www.nar.realtor/news/real-estate-news/technology/teaming-up-to-buy-co-buying-goes-high-tech

Technology companies are stepping in to connect buyers who want to pool funds together for homeownership.
