How to Increase Your Home’s Online Appeal
You’ve decided to sell your home, now you have to make it presentable! Often the first impression a potential buyer will have of your home is looking at photos online.
Before a potential buyer reads anything about your home they will look at the photos. Visual content is engaging across the board and often serves as an anchor to grab a viewer's attention and keep them on the page. You may have everything a potential buyer wants but if your home doesn’t look good in photos they will likely breeze past your listing and on to the next one.
How can you get your home prepared to look its best online?
Do Some Serious Decluttering
One of the most important things you can do to make your home look more appealing is to do some serious cleaning and decluttering. You want potential buyers to be able to see themselves in your home, which is difficult when it is filled with stuff.
Decluttering allows potential buyers to see the true size of rooms and project their own life into each room. Plus it just makes any space look more clean and orderly!
You don’t need to necessarily throw away all of your possessions, just make sure they are put away or out of sight for photos and walkthroughs.
Add Some Light
Before you take any photos or shoot any video of your home make sure that your rooms are well lit! If you need to add a few lamps then go for it, the more light the better. Images of a dark and gloomy home will not attract a lot of attention.
If you are taking photos or having a professional or real estate agent take them make sure to choose a time of the day when there is lots of natural light. A well-lit photo can make a huge difference!
Get A Professional
Your home’s online listing is incredibly important and will determine how many buyers you attract. Your best bet is to partner with a professional that has experience in real estate photography. You can hire a photographer or work with a real estate professional who has years of experience selling and listing homes. A professional will know what time of day works best for your home as well as the best angles for each room.
Finding your next home can be stressful - but it doesn't have to be.
