Preparing Your Home for Photos What can you do to help make the photos better that sell your home?

The house should look its best for its close-up: listing photos are often a buyer's first experience with listings. Today, over 97 percent of home buyers use the internet to search for homes, and 76 percent use a mobile device to search for homes. Buyers rank home photos as the No. 1 valuable website feature — even more valuable than the home description, according to the National Association of REALTORS®. Great-looking photos translate to more showings, fewer days on the market, and even a higher sales price.

Remember, people want to see the home that is being advertised, NOT what is in it. The house should be free of clutter and reasonably clean. Allow the person who's seeing the pictures to imagine their things in the home instead of seeing too much of someone else's. You will want to empty the house as much as possible.

1. Put all toilet seats down, throw used towels in a hamper, make all beds, and hide all personal toiletries such as toothbrushes, medications, and shampoo bottles under the sink or in a cabinet. Make sure bathtubs and showers are empty. Make sure mirrors are free of streaks.

2. Make sure all closets are closed. Remove ALL personal items from bedstands, dressers, or hanging on doors. Hide all wires as best you can (unplugging TVs, gaming systems, cable boxes, routers, etc. and rolling wires behind the item helps) 3. Remove ALL items from counters, including small appliances, and hide them inside your cabinets or away in closets. Make sure the sink is empty, clean, and dry. Put pet dishes away.

4. Remove all welcome mats or small entry carpets from doorways and hide them away.

5. Be sure to open curtains to allow as much natural light in as possible as well as turn on ALL interior lights. Make sure all the lightbulbs have the same color cast. White light bulbs are best.

6. Sellers should park cars in the garage or on the street away from the front of the home, pick up any yard toys and games, dispense of dead plants, pet waste, sweep walkways, and hide trash cans.

When you are done, walk from the front of your house, through the house, and exit the back looking at everything. See anything out of place? If not, then you are done. Congratulations and good luck!

Take Their Word For it!

Katie is the ABSOLUTE best. I cannot say enough good about her and her team. True professionals, they are a credit to the real estate industry. The responsiveness and assistance I received from Katie and her team was stellar. I looked at the property on a Saturday and by Monday, it was mine. I received timely updates all throughout the weekend. The buying process can be a bit intimidating and a little overwhelming, but Katie and her team made it as smooth and painless as possible. Again, I cannot say enough good things about them. Highly recommend!

— Patrick H.

Katie and her team recently helped us to purchase our 1st home. She and her team were truly a blessing. I couldn't have asked for anything for anyone better to help us through this process. They were great and I would highly recommend them to anyone that was looking to purchase. They were the best and very helpful every step of the way. Thank you very much!!!! It was great working with you all!

—Tracy

From the very first conversation with Katie, my wife and I felt like this was a team effort to sell and not just about making money. Katie took a genuine interest in our thoughts and concerns as well as answered every question we had. Katie and her team offered a very professional, but more importantly, a very personal experience. We never felt misled on the amount of work we would have to do to help make the sale come to fruition, while at the same time being enthusiastically reassured that our efforts would be worth it. This was not just about the sale, but about making us happy.

Needless to say, we highly recommend Katie and her Team to anyone.
