Selling For More Money
Selling for more money is what most sellers want. The key to selling for more money is to have more buyers interested. How do buyers become interested? By what they see online. The more they like what they see, the more they want to have an agent show them the home.
Selling for more money means remembering that the first way that buyers see a home is by what they see in photos and virtual tours on the web. Buyers like to view homes they might be interested in at any time of the day or night. With a virtual tour, a home shopper can eliminate homes they definitely do not want to see, making the whole process a lot more efficient. However, if you aren’t prepared, you’ll get eliminated from their list.
As the seller of one of these homes, it’s extra important that your home is staged so that the photos make people want to come in and see more. This often goes well beyond what you’d need to do for a regular showing. After all, your goal is to mimic the feeling of what it’s like to be in your house. Don’t worry, I’ve got some tips to get you started!

Declutter Like Your In-Laws Are Coming for Vacation
Before you list a home, it’s always important to declutter. Take anything you don’t immediately need and at least put it in storage somewhere away from the house. That idea goes doubly for virtual tours. It may seem like no big deal that you’ve got an extra ottoman or side table in a room when people are physically in the space.
However, the goal of a virtual tour is to try to create a sense of how the space actually feels in real life. Therefore, remember that can be hard if there’s too much distracting stuff sitting around. Finally, remember these are your things, and not the buyers. The less of you that the buyer sees, the more they can imagine their things in the home.
When it comes to this, less is more, to a point. It’s still important to keep a few things even in unused rooms to provide a sense of scale and purpose for the room. Just be sure to remember that the people seeing the tour want to see your home, not your belongings. Balance is key, and it can be a delicate one to strike.
Make the Best Features Obvious
When you’ve lived in a house long enough, even the coolest features can seem pretty mundane. In fact, they may kind of turn into background noise. When you’re trying to sell that house, think like a buyer. Does your home have some great things that buyers would want to see, or unique detailing that’s worth a second look? Color is a big key here.
Rather than skimming over these points of interest, emphasize them! Use well-placed lighting, simple décor, or other tactics to draw the eye to the cool parts of your home and landscaping without overwhelming them. It’s all about scale; just remember that your home’s best features are the main attraction!

Color = Cash When Selling For More Money
First, remember that buyers may look at thousands of photos in their search for a home. Countless greys, tans, whites and browns just seem to bland together. Here you can see some photos of homes where the colors just become a white noise that may bore the viewer.
Now look at some homes that actually sold instead of being ignored by buyers. In each of these photos, you will see an effort to provide a splash of color. Color catches the attention. And when color catches the buyer’s attention, they are more likely to want to view your home and buy it. The more folks want to see your home, the more you are selling for more money.
