Selling or renting a home can feel overwhelming, with so many moving parts and decisions to make. But with the right team by your side, it doesn’t have to be that way.
Step 1: Preparing Your Property for Photos and Videos
Making your property photo- and video-ready is more than just a step—it’s a strategy. High-quality visuals help properties sell faster. Consider how potential buyers will perceive every detail.
Declutter and Depersonalise
Tuck away personal items, family photos, and personal memorabilia.
Simplify spaces to help buyers imagine themselves living in the property.
Organise storage areas to demonstrate functionality and space.
Deep Clean
Polish surfaces, clean windows, and vacuum carpets.
Ensure every detail—no matter how small—is spotless.
Create an Inviting Ambience
Fluff and arrange pillows on couches and beds.
Open curtains and blinds to let in natural light.
Replace burnt-out light bulbs to maintain consistent lighting.
Spruce Up the Space
Add fresh flowers or greenery for a touch of vibrancy.
Use tasteful accent pieces, such as candles or books, to enhance the ambience.
Keep décor neutral yet welcoming to appeal to a wide audience.
Final Touches
Empty rubbish bins and remove any odours.
Ensure pathways and entryways are clear and inviting.
Step 2: Capturing Quality Photos
Photos often provide buyers with their first impression, so make it count. Work with a professional photographer to create high-resolution images and wide-angle shots that showcase the property’s features.
Highlight key selling points: natural light, spacious layouts, and unique features like a marble flooring or an L-shaped balcony.
Showcase outdoor spaces with well-maintained landscaping.
Take seasonal photos if relevant (e.g., blooming flowers in spring, cosy lighting in winter).
