PICTURE PERFECT
HOME PREPARATIONS
Research shows that a confused mind says no. Don't give buyers a reason to walk away because they can't see themselves in your space.
-
Remove personal items, excess furniture, and anything that makes rooms feel cramped or busy. Keep surfaces like countertops, tables, and shelves clear.
-
Thoroughly clean every room, including floors, windows, and appliances. Pay special attention to kitchens and bathrooms, as these areas can be deal-breakers for buyers.
-
Remove personal photographs, memorabilia, and any items that could distract buyers. The goal is to make it easy for buyers to envision themselves living in the space.
-
Fix any minor repairs, such as leaky faucets, squeaky doors, or cracked tiles. Touch up paint where needed, especially in high-traffic areas.
-
Tidy up the exterior of your home by mowing the lawn, trimming bushes, and planting flowers. Clean the driveway and walkways, and make sure the entrance is inviting.
-
Arrange furniture to maximize space and flow. Use neutral colors and add tasteful décor to create a welcoming atmosphere.
-
Ensure all lights are working and replace any burned-out bulbs. Use natural light to your advantage by opening curtains and blinds. Add lamps if necessary to brighten darker areas. And focus on the color of your light. It's best to keep it consistent.
All warm, or all cool, but not both. -
Buyers often look inside closets and storage spaces, so make sure these areas are tidy and organized.
-
If possible, remove pets from the home during the shoot. Hide pet beds, toys, and litter boxes to eliminate distractions and potential odors.
-
Do a final walkthrough to ensure everything is in place. Fluff pillows, straighten artwork, and add fresh flowers or a bowl of fruit to add a touch of warmth to the space.
