avoid bringing any attention to these critters. Don’t only hide them from the photos; find another place to shelter them during the home marketing period if you want the most successful sale. • Add sprinkles on top. A few home accessories with colors that pop will go a long way. A multi-colored comforter on a bed is a good touch, as is colorful artwork. • Go green. Place a healthy green plant or a vase of colorful flowers strategically in each room. • Light it up. Are your pictures dark or washed out? Not enough light from the windows? Add some lighting to bring them up a level. Bright LED lamps off-camera or in the corners can add the touch you need. • Hire a stager or a professional move management company,. If you don’t want to go through the effort on your own, you can hire a professional stager who can come in to rearrange the furniture or bring in accessories or extra pieces of furniture. Or do the opposite. Empty the property of all personal effects, have the home professional cleaned, and sell it vacant and empty. A professional move management company can take you through this whole process, including sorting, selling, donating, and cleaning. • Hire a photographer. Although you can take great pictures on your own without a very expensive camera, you might consider having a pro do the work. This can give you an even greater advantage over other sellers by helping to increase the perceived value of your home.
