According to the National Association of Realtors, 93% of buyers are first seeing your home online (which probably has only gone up since Real Estate has gone virtual)!⁠⁠

⁠⁠That means the quality of your home photos is CRITICAL. One way I help my clients achieve this is through the use of a professional photographer (this is a NON-NEGOTIABLE). ⁠⁠

⁠⁠But before those photos are snapped, your house has to be prepped and ready! Here is a sneak peek of my go-to checklist I share with my sellers to help them prep for listing photos ⬇️⁠⁠

⁠⁠-Open all the blinds and curtains⁠⁠

-Clear off the countertops, (small appliances, mail, cords, clutter)⁠⁠

-Fluff couch pillows⁠⁠

-Turn on every lamp and light⁠⁠

-Clear off your dressers, nightstands, and tables⁠⁠

-Bring symmetry to your bedroom with lamps anchoring both sides of the bed and add a hint of greenery⁠⁠

-Replace family photos with artwork⁠⁠

-Paint bright walls a neutral shade⁠⁠

-Hide garbage cans⁠⁠

-Clear the driveway⁠⁠

-Refresh landscaping - pull weeds, water flowers, fill in bare spots⁠⁠

-Store all charging cords and cables⁠⁠

-Turn off TVs and computer screens⁠⁠

-Close garage doors⁠⁠

⁠Did you know I also offer a staging consult if we need some extra touches for photos? It can make a huge difference- trust me! ⁠
