17 + Things You Can Do To Prepare Your Home For Real Estate Photos
Once you have organized your belongings and staged your home you are not preparing your home to go on the market. It’s important to take extra care preparing for the photos. Many things are often neglected and compromise the quality of the photos and your homes presentation. We have prepared a short list of often overlooked items. Your home needs to be prepared more for the photos than you would for a showing. A coat over the arm of a chair or a box of tissues on a night stand may be fine when you are showing your home, but not for the photos. The photos will go far and wide and they will usually keep reappearing throughout the time you have the home listed. Once you loose the attention of a buyer you may not be able to get it back.
We often hear how first impressions are important when a buyer comes to see your home. But often the first impression is with the photos that are presented online. It may be the difference between a showing and a sale and having your home immediately cut from the list of potential properties with no showing….. without a second thought.
