A property usually photographs and shows better when buyers can focus on the home instead of leftover furniture, garage clutter, yard debris, and unfinished cleanup. A simple pre-listing plan can prevent last-minute delays before photography or staging.
Interior
- Remove unwanted furniture and bulky items.
- Clear obvious clutter from rooms, closets, hallways, and storage areas.
- Remove leftover moving boxes and abandoned household items.
- Identify areas that need cleaning, touch-up paint, or minor repair.
Garage and Exterior
- Clear garage floors and remove unwanted storage items.
- Remove light debris from patios, side yards, and around the property.
- Mow and clean up visible landscaping.
- Clean gutters when visible buildup or overflow is present.
- Remove obvious trash, broken outdoor furniture, and abandoned materials.
Before Photography
Do one final walk-through from the perspective of the camera. Check entryways, garage spaces, patios, counters, floors, and curb appeal. Small distractions become much more noticeable in listing photos.
