Picture Imperfect!

When getting pictures taken of your home, make sure you are aware of the things that can distract a buyer. Photos are so important! Many potential buyers make a decision whether to see a property based on how inviting the pictures look. So here’s my top 10 of things to be aware of!

1. Open Doors and Drawers  – Close them all
2. Closed Blinds or Curtains – Open Please
3. Knick Knacks  – Less is so much more
4. Clothes and Shoes – Put them all away
5. Time of Day – Ask the photographer when is best
6. People and Animals – No one will look any anything else but them
7. Dead Plants – Remove them
8. Brightly Colored Walls or Busy Wallpaper- Both appear even more so online
9. Stained Carpet – Cleaner or removal are the best choices
10. Non-professional Photos – Professionally done are noticeably better
