Getting A Home Ready For Sale
Getting a property ready for photography, for showings (virtual and in-person), and ultimately for sale is by no means an easy task. Potential buyers nitpick as many things as possible to give reasons for a lower offer. Because of this, we wanted to provide our sellers with a comprehensive guide and check list to make this process as easy as possible. This information ensures their homes’ photographs look exceptional online, capturing as much attention and interest as possible
A well prepared home can provide thousands of extra dollars in a seller’s pocket and it’s our goal to make sure all of our sellers obtain the highest asking price possible.
Home Photography
After all the items listed in our “Getting Your Home Ready For Sale” guide are checked off, we are confident our seller’s home is photo-ready! To make sure it is photographed in its best light, we follow a detailed checklist ourselves. See below for a few featured items, in addition to a few tips we provide our sellers prior to our arrival.
Outdoor Tips:
- Buyers love blue skies, so we make sure the front, back, and yard photos are taken on a beautiful, sunny day.
- We make sure there aren’t any cars parked on the driveway or visible in the photo.
- Because we select an angle of the home that isn’t blocked by trees, we recommend our sellers trim back any stray bushes or branches.
- We wait until the sun is behind, to avoid shooting directly into it, so our photography sessions are scheduled accordingly.
- Lighting is everything, so we make sure all the blinds are open and all of the lights are turned on.
- We always use landscape orientation for optimal viewing of the rooms.
- We also use a selection of wide angle lends to fit more of the room into the photo.
Benefits of Getting a Home Inspection Prior to Selling Your Home
Most buyers will have one done anyway, once they are under contract. Do it now and make any needed repairs before you put the home on the market. The service will probably run about $300 to $500, and we can recommend several reliable inspectors. We’ve seen this help many of our sellers deal with surprises before time becomes of the essence. You will save money and there will be fewer hurdles to get your home closed.
