Pretty property pictures

Most buyers begin the house hunting process online, so it is imperative you make a good first impression with listing photos. The first way you can give your home a leg up, is by hiring a professional photographer to take the best possible photos of the property. Here are a few steps to take to help make the home appear more appealing.

Boost curb appeal
Add pops of colour by planting something that is in bloom or by adding a few pot plants. Make sure the area is clean by removing all pet waste, sweeping the driveway, clearing away loose leaves, trimming overgrown vegetation, and pulling out weeds.

Interior preparations
Dirt and clutter shows up in professional photographs, so sweep, vacuum and mop the floors before the photographer arrives. Also remove any visible garbage, clean kitchen surfaces, scrub the bathrooms, pack away clutter and personal belongings, and ensure all beds are made.

Retouch dated features
If you have a little more time on your hands, retouch any chipped paint on the walls, repaint yellowing ceilings, update outdated fittings, and fix any loose door or cupboard hinges.
