"The Buyer's Eyes" walkthrough Everyone views their home differently, but no perspective matters more than that of the potential buyer of your home.
Professional Photos We've all seen bad real estate photos. Great photos bring buyers to the door, so I hire a professional photographer for all of my listings. They're wonderful, but they're not magic - if your space is cluttered, dirty or in disrepair, the photographer can't hide it. We want the best foot forward for the MLS listing.
GET READY TO SHOW YOUR PROPERTY De-clutter, recondition, deep clean and be photo ready
De-Clutter Unless it's brand new, most homes have a lived-in feel. Making your home appear as close to new condition as possible will attract the most buyers. A good rule of thumb is to plan to remove about 40% of your belongings to de-personalize and open up the space.
