Tips for Making Your Home Photo-Ready 

Prepare the Interior:

Brighten Up:

• Turn on all lights.
• Open curtains and blinds to let in natural light. Stylish blinds can be left down but opened.

Declutter Spaces:

• General: Remove visible trash and stray items. Use a cluttered closet or garage for temporary storage.
• Living Area: Remove extra items like blankets, dog beds, and magazines. Be mindful of family photos and artwork on display.
• Kitchen: Clear the refrigerator of photos and magnets. Keep counter items minimal – a fruit basket or a few utensils are fine.
• Dining Area: Optionally, set up a matching set of plates or a vase with fresh flowers.
• Bathrooms: Keep soap dispensers and towels; remove personal items. If your shower has appealing tiles, consider opening the curtain for the photo.
• Bedrooms: Clear desks, beds, and floors. Make sure beds are made and windows are clean.

Prepare the Exterior:

Front of the Home:

• Mow the lawn, hide hoses and bins.
• Remove “for sale” signs to comply with MLS rules.

Backyard:

• Maintain the lawn and bushes.
• Arrange outdoor furniture invitingly.
• Store old or dirty BBQ grills out of sight.

Some Extra Notes:

• Preparing well can significantly enhance photo quality and buyer interest.
• Properties are photographed “As Is”. Prioritize decluttering and front exterior presentation if short on time.
