Bright sofa pillows, a healthy green plant, or a simple vase of fresh flowers can be placed strategically to add warmth without clutter. • Brighten: Dark or flat photos can work against you. If natural light is limited, add lamps or light fixtures to brighten the space. Simple LED lamps placed in corners or out of frame can dramatically improve how a room photographs and feels in person. Exterior Pictures: Photos of the outside of your home are equally important. They can make or break a sale; if they’re high quality, they can provide the bait you need to garner the interest of prospective buyers, who will then show interest in seeing the inside. When taking pictures of your home’s exterior, make sure you have the following areas covered: • Lawn Care: Whether you handle it yourself or hire help, give the lawn a fresh, close cut. Remove weeds and trim excess grass along walkways, the home’s edges, and around trees. Neatly trim bushes and shrubs to create a well-maintained look. • Landscaping: You don’t need a major overhaul to improve curb appeal. Simple touches—seasonal flowers, fresh
mulch or cedar chips, and subtle LED pathway lighting—can make the yard feel cared for and welcoming.
