Are You Photo Ready?

Buyers will make their minds up within seconds of viewing your property online. By getting the marketing of your home right first time it will really make the difference in the number of people wanting to come and view your home. There are a number of ways that we can do this but one of the simplest is making sure the photos of your home portray it in the best possible way. Here are our top tips on making sure you are photo ready.

10 Simple Ways To Prepare Your Home…

 

De-clutter

This will help prospective buyers imagine their own possessions in the space and how it could work with their lifestyle.

Finish The Odd Jobs

Replace the lightbulbs, fix the cupboard door and paint the front door, they may be small things but buyers notice them.

Clear Surfaces

Remove the shampoo from next to the bath, the cleaning products by the sink and the tea towel by the oven – get their eyes to focus on what matters.

Make The Bed

Another very simple thing that makes all the difference, maybe even add a fancy cushion or two!

Remove Signs Of Pets

Unfortunately not everyone will love your fur babies as much as we do.

Hide The Kids Toys

This could be the easiest way to de-clutter! It’s crazy how much more space there will be, bag them up and hide them in the car, even if its just whilst we are there to take the photos.

Turn The TV Off

Keep things minimalist, avoid a busy looking photo that’s too distracting.

Cut The Grass

It’s important to also spend some time tidying up the garden, it will add instant kerb appeal.

Remove Bins/Cars From The Drive

The front of the property is the first thing your buyers will see and be their first impression, show them the best of your home from their first glance.

Flowers

To brighten up the photos adding some flowers is and easy way to add that extra pop of colour.
