outside. • Add colorful landscaping. Plant a variety of colorful flowers, and lay some red cedar chips. If you would like to provide a night photo for effect, consider adding some LED path lights. • Give it a bath. Shine the windows, hose down the house, and clean the gutters. Sweep the pathways and driveway. You don’t want pictures of cobwebs around your doorways or of water-stained windows.
DRONES
In the past, you would’ve needed to pay an expensive fee to a pilot for the use of a private plane or helicopter to take pictures of your home from above. Now, you can make it happen affordably with drones. Drones have a variety of uses, one of which is to show off the high value of your home to potential buyers. As regulation continues to shape the future of drones and their legal use by civilians, you can still stay ahead of the crowd by hiring a licensed drone photographer or getting the license to fly one yourself. Drone photography gives you an advantage over other sellers in that it: • Provides a “big-picture” view. You can give potential buyers a complete view of your property by an aerial photograph or video. This is something that most homeowners never see for themselves for as many years as they have been in their homes. The house, the yard, the distance from neighbors—this is a valuable shot.
