Is Your House Ready for Its Close-Up? (Photography Tips for Sellers)
Trying to sell your home? Then your listing photos better slay. Because let’s face it—most buyers make their first decision based on a few photos they see online. And if your house looks like a dark cave or a cluttered storage unit, they’re swiping left faster than a bad dating profile.
Here’s how to make your home camera-ready:
• Let there be light – Open the blinds, pull back the curtains, and let natural light work its magic. Photos taken in dark, moody lighting just don’t sell.
• Declutter like a minimalist on a mission – Those knickknacks may be sentimental, but they distract buyers. Clear surfaces = clean photos = more showings.
• Boost that curb appeal – The outside is the first photo buyers see. Mow the lawn, hide the trash cans, and maybe even add a cheerful doormat or potted plant.
• Skip the photo bombs – That laundry basket? Move it. The cat in the window? Cute, but no. Keep the focus on the home, not on distractions.
So—what’s the weirdest or most surprising thing you’ve ever seen in a listing photo? A mannequin in the corner? A toilet lid up? (Don’t get me started.) Drop it in the comments!
