The 'good way' to list your home

I've seen some terrible looking listings in my time as a realtor. There are no shortcuts to having a jaw-dropping listing. The FIRST major step is getting rid of all the extra clutter that makes your home AND yard look stuffy, followed by a deep cleaning.

Less is more. You want buyers to see square feet instead of all your trinkets and appliances that minimize a spacious appeal! The SECOND step is putting things away. Clear off all countertops (kitchens, bathrooms, vanity's etc) Yes, the air fryer too! Put all of the 'randoms' in a closet or under a bed.

Something to consider is that your listing is going to be blasted to millions of people that scroll through 3rd party real estate sites. You may or may not want your personal pictures or anything that alludes to your identity on the world wide web. Don't worry, we'll replace it with another picture if needed!

Let us go to work! As realtors, we know that a minimalist staging approach gets more attention than a home full of stuff. We have access to furniture, staging accents and virtual staging.  

 *Make any necessary repairs (everything should be fully functional) *Mulch the flower beds *Add flowers or greenery *Mow, weed eat, edge *Power wash where needed *Paint where needed *Clean the gutters *Clean the windows *Buy brighter light bulbs if the house is dim. Getting the picture now?    

Exceptional photos can literally be the difference between a buyer scheduling a showing or moving onto the next property. High quality photos and professional editing is absolutely paramount to your listing if you want the 'Wow Factor'.
