Putting Your Best Foot Forward: Presentation, Presentation, Presentation
When you look at your home, what’s the first impression you get? Do you say, “Ahh,” and have a peaceful feeling flow over you? If not, here’s some advice to get you there and top dollar. We derive peace from order, harmony, cleanliness, and beauty. Therefore, here are some steps to take to get your home ready for the big day.
1. Declutter
There is nothing that will spoil your presentation more than clutter. First, make both the interior and exterior as clear as possible, so it can show how wide your space is. For outside, make sure any unsightly features are out of sight such as rakes, trash bins, lawn toys, and wrap hoses. For the interior, remove any eyesore cords, and wires, and put away toys, and pet products. Clearing the kitchen counters of small appliances and tucking away your bathroom items. Removing any unnecessary furniture, décor, and personal items. Just keep in mind, that less is more.
2. Clean the house
Clean every room in the house and make it shine. If a garage or a workshop needs to be photographed, remember to clean this area too. For the exterior, we recommend to show the beauty of your landscape by mowing grass, tidying up your yard, and sweeping porches or decks.
3. Prepare windows and light
You can make your home look bigger and brighter by preparing windows and lights. Make sure that all windows are clean, and all curtains, shades, and blinds are open before photo shooting. Lighting can add beauty to your home. Making sure that all light bulbs work. Cool light makes a room whiter and brighter and is good for a small bathroom or kitchen. Adding artificial lighting to the area or room with no natural light can help as well.
Presenting the best of your home can help you sell faster and for more money. According to RubyHome, 2024, listings that include professional real estate photography can sell 32% faster, and listings with pro-quality listing images close between $934 and $116,076 higher than comparable listings with low-quality photography.
