HOW TO PREPARE THE INTERIOR OF YOUR HOME FOR REALESTATE PHOTOGRAPHY

You want that MODEL HOME MAGIC when selling your home. That inviting look that allows you to picture yourself living there. Check one out so you can feel that vibe.

Here are a list of things to do before I even arrive.

1.Turn on all your lights to check for burnt out bulbs and bulbs that don’t match in color.

2. Turn off all fans

3. Unplug and hide all of your cords. This keeps your rooms looking tidy and uncluttered.

KITCHEN:

Your kitchen can make or break a realestate deal so don’t be attached to “cute” decorative items like salt and pepper shakers or fruit bowls (just to name a few), I need to photograph your kitchen to show off the space, so:

1. Hide appliances: toasters, knife blocks, coffee pots, soap dispensers, fruit hangers, etc.

2. Hide your trashcan if it is free standing.

3. Hide refrigerator magnets and pictures.

4. Hide pet beds, food dishes and litter boxes.

BATHROOMS

Your bathrooms are other rooms that can make or break the sale of your home so other than a pretty candle, less is more. Here’s what you need to do there:

1. Hide all products including: soaps, cosmetics, medications, etc.

2. Hide the garbage can, toilet brush and plunger.

BEDROOMS

Bedrooms should feel inviting like in a model home and here are a few tips on how to get those ready to be photographed:

1. MAKE ALL BEDS.

2.Remove things like floor or dresser types of fans, tissue boxes, cosmetics, medication, jewelry, trash cans, etc.

3. Unclutter kids rooms by removing stickers from the walls, put the plain side of the comforter up on the bed, make sure toys are put away.
