How to Make Your Home Look Great in Virtual Tours: Think Show Home
With demand for virtual property tours continuing to surge, sellers should never miss the opportunity to feature a tour as part of their listing. Not only does it provide convenience and flexibility for buyers by allowing them to experience properties from the comfort of their own sofa at any time, but working with your agent also presents several exciting options; such as live walkthroughs or open houses, pre-recorded video listings & more! Don’t settle just having still images – take advantage of modern technology and let potential buyers fully explore what you have on offer in whatever way they please.
Preparing your home for the cameras
Clean surfaces so they sparkle. To make your house look amazing on video, spend a little extra time focusing on cleaning techniques that show results visually. Here a few ideas for how to scrub, polish, and buffer surfaces so that they really shine up:
Make stainless steel look like new again
- To remove dirt and dust, start with warm soapy water and wipe down the stainless steel appliance with a cloth. Use a dry towel to get rid of streaks and water marks.
- Using a stainless steel polish solution or vinegar and olive oil — wipe it in the direction of the grain using a microfiber cloth.
Buff kitchen countertops
Clean all counter tops using soapy water. You can then use a polish to give it that extra shine. If you have granite or marble worktops then using a dedicated granite and marble cleaner will help with that beautiful shinny look.
Declutter the main areas of the home
Stage your interior with special care. Any clutter you see with the naked eye will look doubly cluttered in the camera lens.
