21 Maintaining & preparing your home for profit | Belle Property Lane Cove 8. Bedrooms Declutter and clean and turn on the bedside lights as they create a beautiful glow. Contrasting bed linen and the wall treatments work well but be careful. Assess the view out of the bedroom windows - if it’s not a particularly attractive view, take the focus away from the window with a nice big painting, photo or something else that will draw the attention away. If you want to focus the attention on a hill view or a beach view, or just a nice outlook, take away any objects that will distract the eye from the window. 9. Entertainment areas With these areas, try and create a certain ambience or vibe that will appeal to your buyer. Think about the atmosphere you’re trying to create. Whether it’s the deck, the verandah, a balcony, how does it integrate with the rest of the atmosphere you’re trying to sell. So if it’s an inner city property, you want to be able to show that balcony set up with a barbecue, for example. 10. The pool Make sure you give some attention to the pool – it’s got to be sparkling before it is photographed and when the house goes on the market. Make sure all utensils associated with the pool – the empty chlorine bottles, the chemical containers, the pool cleaners, the brooms, the kids’ boogie boards and the floatation rings are all packed away. Make sure it remains like that for rest of the marketing campaign. 11. Keep the lights on Lights are essential - even in daytime, you’re always going to be shooting with lights on. Most professional photographers are going to create an ambience somewhere between using their flash equipment and utilising the available sunlight as well as the lights. 12. Replace all the faulty globes Make sure they’re fresh, and if the property is vacant make sure the electricity is on.
