6 Get your home noticed It takes more than good photography to help sell a home. You’ll want your home to look attractive and appealing for a potential home buyer so check out these following tips to get your home ready for real estate photography and open homes... • First impressions count: Clear away shoes, coats and other items to make your front entrance look clean and welcoming. • Create natural light: Open all curtains and/or blinds; turn on lights for open home days. • Keep it clean: A clean house and well cared for section will be far more appealing to a buyer; get rid of cobwebs; shine the taps; polish the windows and doorknobs; wash and vacuum the floors. • Stay fresh: Don’t allow stale cooking and living smells to linger – open windows daily, display a vase of sweet smelling flowers, and if need be an occasional spray with a can of air freshener. Don’t burn incense as the buyer may wonder what you are trying to cover up. • De-clutter every room: This is the most important. Clean counters, tables, coffee tables and wall units. Clutter really attracts the eye and takes away from the beauty of the home. • Kitchen/Dining: Remove all unnecessary items; keep the benches clean and clear; remove all used tea towels and dishcloths; use flowers to brighten up the dining table. • Bathroom: We all have clutter in the bathroom – toothbrushes, creams, toothpaste etc. Before the photographer arrives (or potential buyers) put all the clutter into a small box, which can easily be stored out of sight. Place clean colour co-ordinated towels, neatly folded, onto the towel rail. • Bedroom: Use colour coordinated bedcovers and linen; plump up your pillows; straighten the valance; put all clothing and person items out of sight. • Office: It’s often hard to keep this room perfectly tidy but try to keep it as orderly as possible. • Keep corners free of clutter: This helps make a room look bigger and therefore more spacious. • Make your room look bigger: rearrange furniture to create more floor space. • Add colour: If your house is neutral in colour, try adding small touches of colour with fresh flowers. Another quick color fix is to use cushions but don’t go overboard. Red works well against neutral backgrounds as do bright blues and greens. Just remember to keep it minimal, pick one colour per room, and it will work. • Move toys out of living areas: Keep them in the rumpus room or the children’s bedrooms. • Boxes or small storage units: Stack them in one area or the spare bedroom. Better not to take a picture of the spare bedroom than have boxes or storage boxes in each room. Better yet – stack them against one wall and this way the photographer can avoid that wall when taking the picture. • Check your cords, cables and wires: Tuck and hide those cords away or simply unplug them. • Keep pets out of sight: Prospective buyers don’t want pets leaping at them or they may be even allergic to pet hair, so keep them out of sight or away for photography and open home days. • Clean up your section and garage: Keep lawns mowed, gardens weeded, hoses and wheelbarrow stored out of sight; take excess rubbish to the tip; and arrange your garage to look as spacious and orderly as possible. Don’t burn incense as the buyer may wonder what you are trying to cover up.
