  1. Roof: Have the roof Pressure-Washed. Check for Cracks & Repairs. Dirt, debris, and stains are noticeable in Aerial Photos.

  1. Driveway | Walkway | Patio | Garage | Pool Pavers: Pressure-Wash to remove dirt, debris, and stains.

  1. Holiday Yard Decorations: Remove “All Seasonal Yard Decorations” that can date the photos.

  1. De-Clutter: Remove and hide ALL trash cans, recycling bins, water hoses, tools, pool equipment, toys, rat traps, and random potted plants. Discard ALL old, unattractive patio furniture, sheds, toys, and debris. De-Cluttering brings a BIG SOLD PRICE!

  1. Yard Decorations: Remove all yard gnomes, pink flamingos, religious and political yard signs, and decorations.

  1. Pool: Remove security gate, vacuum, and pool toys. Clean and vacuum the pool. Chemically treat pool water for perfect clarity.

  1. Outdoor Features: Verify operational: waterfall, fountain, Jacuzzi, tiki torches, fireplace, music sound system, and tropical fans.

  1. Umbrellas & Screens: Open, clean, and repair all patio umbrellas, awnings, and patio screens.

  1. Outdoor Grill & Patio Chair Cushions: Uncover the grill and patio furniture (hide the covers).

  1. De-Clutter Garage & Attic: Properly discard old paint cans, chemical household products, and rat traps. Do not leave anything for the buyer without permission. A garage is a big selling feature and, if possible, should be empty and clean. Rent a storage locker.

  1. Lawn Trimmed: Neatly trimmed lawn, pruned shrubs/trees below windows, and manicured gardens always photograph better.

  1. Exterior Lighting: Replace burnt-out light bulbs for twilight photography and evening showings. Make sure all light bulbs match.

  1. Pets: Do a full yard clean-up after the pets.

  1. Front Exterior: The 1st Photo is the Front of the House! Remove and clean out ALL overgrown bushes, trees, and debris that hide the front of the house and windows. Clean up gardens with inexpensive shrubs, brightly colored flowers, and fresh, dark mulch.

  1. Cars & Vehicles: Remove all vehicles from the driveway and in front of the house. Park the cars three houses up the street.
