Sell Your House Faster – Prepare Your Home for Listing Photos

January 31, 2016 by Eric Lowry

Sell Your House Faster - Prepare Your Home for Listing PhotosWe’ve all seen those home listing photos of the agent in the bathroom mirror, the pets in the living room, and the dirty laundry on the floor. Those photos are funny to look at, but they’re not going to help sell your house. Here are few easy tips to prepare your house for fantastic listing photos so you can impress more buyers and sell your house faster!

Window Treatments – Open all the curtains and blinds in every room to let natural light in.

Lighting – Turn all interior lights on, and any ceiling fans off. Replace any burnt out light bulbs.

Pets – Keep all your pets out of the house (or at least out of the way). Hide away all pet supplies, food dishes, crates, scratching posts, etc.

Vehicles – Move all vehicles away from the home or park them in the garage. Don’t leave any in the driveway or parked on the street in front of the house. Close your garage doors.

Tables/Counters – Remove all clutter from kitchen and bathroom counters, shelves, tables, bedroom dressers, etc. Have a minimalist mindset with what you leave out.

General – Make sure your home is as tidy as possible. Put away all the laundry, make all the beds, close all the toilet seats, vacuum your carpets, etc. Make sure the front and backyards are well manicured, with cut grass, trimmed bushes, etc.

If you prepare your house for listing photos, it can definitely help improve the quality of the photos and sell your house faster. The listing photos of your home provide the very first impression buyers will have of your home. You want them to be impressed enough that they want to schedule a showing. If you have great listing photos, you will impress more buyers, and ultimately sell your house faster.
