Wednesday Real Estate Advice~
I am sure everyone is aware that great photography and videography are critical in marketing.
During the preparation stage before my awesome photographers take pictures of the properties I work with, almost every seller has asked me what they should do to prepare their homes to shine and sparkle.
In general, when preparing for photos the goal is to always maximize the space to create a larger look and feel. Remember, less is more!
I suggest removing all personalized ornaments, memorabilia and with all my love and respect for pets, I recommend to temporarily put away animal food bowls, animal bedding, and toys.
Please make sure windows and mirrors are free of streaks, put all rubbish bins out of sight, remove all floor mats, small rugs, and doormats. Regarding lights, please turn on all lights and lamps and keep fans off.
In lounge/ living areas make sure the space is clear from TV remotes as well as hiding any visible electrical cords. I recommend to display some coffee table books and neatly arrange cushions and pillows.
In the kitchen/ dining area please make sure that all appliances are clean, turn on oven light for extra ambiance, keep everything off refrigerator, and set the dining table with a low height centerpiece.
In the bathroom/ en-suite please make sure that shower screen is free of streaks, double fold coordinated fresh towels, remove laundry baskets, rubbish bins, tissue boxes, products from the countertops, put away bathmats, and please keep the toilet lids down!
Then enjoy a cup of tea ☕️ and in a short amount of time you will see stunning photos of your property that will look sooooo good that you will probably reconsider selling it! 🤣
Wishing you all a lovely rest of the week! ❤️
