The Ultimate Guide to Prepping Your Home for Listing Photos
In today’s digital age, your first showing happens online. That’s why professional, high-quality photos can make or
break your listing. Start by decluttering each room—clear off countertops, organize shelves, and store away
personal items. The goal is to create a clean, neutral canvas that helps buyers imagine themselves living there.
Natural light is your best friend. Open blinds, clean windows, and schedule your photos for the brightest time of
day. Add a few subtle pops of color—like fresh flowers, a decorative pillow, or a piece of art—to make the space
feel vibrant yet balanced. If possible, hire a professional photographer who understands angles and composition;
it’s an investment that pays off in faster sales and higher offers.
Remember, photos tell a story. They should highlight your home’s flow, showcase unique features, and evoke
emotion. At Angela Thompson Group, we help every listing shine online, ensuring that your home stands out in a
crowded market and draws buyers to your doorstep.
