How to Make Your Home Stand Out During Virtual Showings

If you’re selling your home during the coronavirus era, you will have to learn your way around virtual showings. While people are starting to venture back out into the world after many months of lockdown, it’s still incredibly important to limit your contact with others and practice social distancing. Giving your buyers the option to tour your home virtually is a great way to keep everyone safe! So, here are some home staging tips to help you show off the best features of your property in real estate videos and virtual tours.

Make Your Tour Quarantine-Friendly

Even as COVID-19 lockdown restrictions loosen, buyers are still hesitant to visit homes in person. Offer some alternatives!

?       Agent Fred Amendola can help you learn how to prepare.

?       Shoot a virtual tour of your home to post on listing sites.

?       Have your real estate agent offer video-chat walkthroughs to interested buyers.

Banish the Clutter

Decluttering your home is one of the most impactful ways you can prep it for resale and wow your potential buyers.

?       If you’re feeling overwhelmed, start with a five-minute decluttering session.

?       Sort your clutter into five piles: put away, mend/clean, recycle, trash, and donate.

?       Other ways to prep your home include making minor repairs and doing a deep clean.

Stage Your Home with Special Décor

Rearrange your home décor or purchase some new accent pieces to give your home a polished and lived-in appearance.

?       Place potted plants and vases of flowers around your home to keep it feeling fresh.

?       Use throw pillows on couches and beds to make your rooms feel luxurious.

?       Choose simple wall art with neutral visuals, like abstract paintings or landscapes. 

?       Try some DIY home décor ideas to turn your bedroom into a relaxing sanctuary.

Boost Your Curb Appeal

Remember, your buyers will want a shot of your home exterior and landscaping as well, so give your curb appeal some attention!

?       Hire services to help with removing debris, mowing the grass, and pulling weeds.

?       Give your front door a fresh coat of paint to make your entrance pop.

?       Add outdoor lighting for evening ambiance.

?       Replace or revive old house numbers to update the appearance of your home exterior.

Showing off the best qualities of your house will be more difficult on screen than in person. Make all of the preparations that you normally would for an open house or showing, then take it a step further. Go the extra mile with your preparations and your buyers will notice!
