#1 Listing Photos and Visual Content

The most common way to generate interest in your listing is to make sure that the online presence is appealing to potential buyers. Visual content could include things such as: 

• High quality images with great lighting 
• Virtual tours if available
• 3D photos
• Floorplans with and without furniture configurations
• Photos of nearby amenities and restaurants, park space, etc.

#2 Don’t Skip the Small Stuff

It’s easy to forget about the small day to day things, and while you may not notice them during your day-to-day life, surprisingly some of the smallest things are the most noticeable, or visible to potential buyers. A few small improvements, replacements, or upgrades can make a huge difference in the way buyers view your home. Try focusing on these few things: 

• All area rugs should be replaced or professionally cleaned prior to listing
• Light fixtures should be clean and modern, and if needed, replaced. Likewise, try to have the same light fixtures throughout the home, for example each bedroom should have the same lights. 
• Replace all outlet covers and light switch covers with new bright white covers as this helps the home look crisp and clean. 

#3 Boost Your Curb Appeal

First impressions are everything, and thus, you want to ensure that your impression is lasting and positive. Take a weekend before you list your home to focus on your curb appeal, gardening if you have outdoor space, sprucing up a small entry way, or adding a wreath or sign to the front door of a condo, are all great ways to help your home stand out among the rest.
