Preparing the Exterior of your home
Curb appeal is an important aspect of selling your home. It can drastically improve the amount of showings and offers you receive. Use this checklist to maximize how your home is seen in the main marketing photo and the initial feeling buyers will perceive as they approach your home.
Exterior Checklist:
Park vehicles on the street away from the home
Put garbage cans away (out of sight)
Sweep walkways, porches, driveway, entry
Pull weeds and clean up & fluff the gravel
Mow lawn, trim shrubs, & clear leaves
Hide garden hose/reel
Keep garden or landscape tools out of sight
Clean and arrange patio furniture (stage)
Put kids toys/pet toys away
Clear the pool of any debris and make sure water features are on
Additionally, if there are pets, it is best to make arrangements for them to be off the property while the shoot is going on. This will ensure that they do not accidentally run in while you are working.
