5 Tried-and-True Tips To Get Your Property Ready!

1. Declutter & Clean: Show Off the Best of Your Space 

Decluttering and cleaning is the first step in preparing your property for a photoshoot or virtual tour. Hide unsightly cords, tuck away trash cans, and ensure TVs are turned off. A tidy, clutter-free environment helps create a welcoming and spacious atmosphere, allowing potential residents or buyers to imagine themselves in the space.

2. Check Lighting: Let Your Property Glow

Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood for your shoot. Double-check that all light bulbs are working and that their color temperature matches across the space. Proper lighting helps create a warm, inviting atmosphere that photographs beautifully, giving your property a fresh, vibrant feel.

3. Boost Curb Appeal: First Impressions Matter 

Curb appeal is the first thing people notice, whether in person or virtually. Trim the bushes, sweep the entryways, and add a few plants or flowers to create an inviting, well-maintained entrance. These small touches can make a big impact, setting the tone for the rest of the tour.

4. Thoughtful Staging: Simple Enhancements for a Big Impact

Enhance your space with thoughtful staging. Fresh towels, greenery, or even small décor items can elevate a room without overpowering it. Think of staging as creating a welcoming story for your future residents. It’s not about extravagant setups but rather small, strategic touches that make the property feel like home.

5. Focus on Details: Symmetry and Neatness Matter

Finally, take a moment to focus on the details. Align your furniture neatly—symmetry helps create a sense of balance and order. Check that all windows are spotless, the countertops are clean, and everything looks well-maintained. These details may seem minor, but they can significantly affect the final images or virtual tour.
