Prepare each room for listing photos

Listing photos are often the first viewing of your home, and they decide who asks for the second. Open curtains, check that every light works, make the beds, clear the balcony and move cars off the driveway. Above all, photos must show the home as it is: an accurate picture brings buyers who are already comfortable with what they will see. For an Al Raha waterfront apartment whose living room faces the water, book the photographer for the time of day that room gets its best natural light, and agree the list of rooms in advance. Walk through each room an hour before, straightening cushions and removing personal items. Then check the final images against the home before they go online. Prepared by Masterpiece Property.
