Professional photography is an essential aspect of your listing. Ensure you present your home’s best first impression by preparing for the professional photography shoot.
5. Highlight Key Features Make sure any standout elements, like a fireplace, kitchen island, or stunning view, are emphasized by removing clutter around them, or cleaning windows. This draws attention to your home’s best assets in photos. 6. Enhance Curb Appeal Tidy up the exterior by mowing the lawn, trimming bushes, and removing any outdoor clutter. First impressions start at the curb, and a well-maintained exterior sets the tone for the rest of the home. 7. Stage Rooms Simply Arrange furniture and décor to showcase each room’s purpose and flow. Minimalist staging helps make the rooms look larger and prevents distractions from the overall layout. 8. Hide Wires and Electronics Conceal cords and electronics, including TV remotes and chargers. Visible wires can clutter photos and detract from the clean look of the space.
1. Declutter Every Room Remove unnecessary items and personal belongings from all surfaces. A clean and spacious appearance makes the home more inviting and helps potential buyers visualize themselves in the space. 2. Deep Clean Everything Ensure all areas, especially floors, windows, countertops, and appliances, are spotless. Cleanliness makes a strong first impression and allows the details of the home to shine through in photos. 3. Depersonalize the Space Remove family photos, personalized décor, and anything that reflects your personal taste. This helps make the space feel neutral and universally appealing to a broad audience. 4. Maximize Natural Light Open all curtains, blinds, and shades to let in as much natural light as possible. Turn on all the lights, and lamps! Bright, well-lit spaces photograph better and look more welcoming.
9. Update Small Fixtures If possible, replace outdated fixtures like light bulbs, knobs, or faucets with more modern alternatives. These small changes can make a big difference in making the home feel fresh and well-maintained. 10. Add Finishing Touches Freshen up the space with a few neutral accents like fresh flowers, well-appointed décor items, new towels, throws, and pillows. Neutral paint colours go a long way, and a fresh coat of paint always makes your home shine. These subtle details can give the home a polished, welcoming look without overwhelming the photos.
