Planning Photos That Beat The Competition - Mesa Real Estate Arizona

Planning Photos That Beat The Competition: You'll need outstanding photos to showcase your home online and in printed materials. The purpose of these pictures is to compel serious buyers to see more in person. -> Photos allow your home to be an "Open House" 24/7: Ensure that there are at least 10 great-quality photos that capture the main features of your home — ones that will engage buyers. -> Your home's exterior photo is vital: A full head-on shot may not adequately show special elements of your home. Experiment with side-angle shots, perhaps taken from a side yard or neighbor's yard, to best capture your home's best qualities. Make sure the sun lights the front brightly and that the landscaping is perfect. -> Interior photos should be well-lit: If lighting is a problem, be sure to take photos on the brightest, sunniest day possible and consider using computer software to lighten and brighten photos. -> If your home has a great view, capture that for the listing photos as well: Consider some location-setting photos of neighborhood and community attractions. We will help focus the camera on all the positives of your home. - Prep To Sell: If you are limited to short blocks of time to improve your home before you list it for sale, here are a few quick ways to get your home spiffed up quickly and easily. -> Closets/drawers/cabinets: Tackle one shelf (or section) with each time block you have. In no time, you'll have the entire closet/cabinet organized and neat. -> Walls: You know those annoying scuff marks? Take a cloth with suitable cleaner and work on them along the walls until they are all addressed. (Stubborn marks may require touch-up or repainting that wall/area.) -> Knickknacks: Take a suitable box and carefully pack away all little do-dads until the box is full. Label and store in your storage area. -> Nail holes: You've packed away the pictures, now work to fix each hole. Patch, sand and repaint. (Do all patching in one go through, all sanding during another and painting when you have a bit more time.) -> Bulbs: Go through your home, turning on every light switch. Make note of all burned out bulbs, and type of bulb needed, and you've got a list for your next errand run. Replace all bulbs during next time period. After completing these tasks, you'll be thankful come moving time when your home has all the little things taken care of! - Preparation Pays!
