At Sol Sereno Estates, we know that the right photos and videos can make all the difference in selling your home quickly and at the best price. To help you make the most of your listing, we offer free professional photography and videography, including complimentary drone videos for villas, cortijos, casitas, and fincas. Here’s how to get your property ready for its close-up.
Declutter and Depersonalize
Start by removing any personal items and unnecessary clutter from each room. Potential buyers should be able to imagine themselves living in your space, and a clean, minimalist environment makes that easier. Put away personal photos, trinkets, and excessive decor to create a neutral canvas.
Deep Clean Every Corner
A clean home not only looks better in photos but also suggests to buyers that the property is well-maintained. Dust, vacuum, and mop all areas, paying special attention to details like windowsills, baseboards, and countertops. Clean windows will let in more natural light, making your home appear bright and inviting.
Boost Your Curb Appeal
First impressions start from the outside, so make sure your home’s exterior is just as appealing as the inside. Mow the lawn, trim hedges, and add some fresh flowers or potted plants to make your entrance more welcoming. Ensure that all outdoor furniture is clean and neatly arranged.
Stage for Success
Staging helps showcase your home’s potential by highlighting its best features. Arrange furniture to maximize space and flow, and consider adding fresh flowers or stylish accessories to enhance each room’s appeal. For bedrooms, use clean, crisp linens to create a cozy, inviting atmosphere.
Let in the Light
Natural light is your best friend when it comes to real estate photography. Open all curtains and blinds to let in as much daylight as possible. For rooms with less natural light, turn on all the lights and consider adding lamps to brighten the space.
Prepare for Drone Footage
Drone videos add a stunning aerial perspective that can set your property apart from the rest. Ensure the exterior of your property is in top shape by tidying up gardens, patios, and any outdoor spaces. Remove vehicles and any outdoor equipment to keep the focus on your property’s best features.
