What photos are worth staying in your client’s home while on the market? It’s a question that has been asked time and time again. When you’re trying to sell your client’s home you want to depersonalize and that includes those family photos positioned around the home.
This can be a tough topic for Realtors to bring up to their clients, especially when homeowners are sensitive to those sentimental moments. You don’t want to jeopardize the relationship with your client while listing the property, so use this video to remind sellers why it’s important to remove personal photos.
First, removing family photos helps to depersonalize the home and let buyers envision themselves there. The second reason to put away those photos is we want to avoid distracting buyers.
When buyers visit homes they can easily be distracted by photos and may end up being more interested in who lives in this space or in the collections of things the seller has, rather than on the positive features of the home. We want potential buyers to notice and remember the home, not the collections or people who live there.
The way you live in a home and the way you sell a home are two completely different things, so remember to feature good life photos, which capture the fun moments in life and things buyers can do in your area. For example, if you live by the beach have photos from a beach day or if you live in the mountains have pictures of hiking trips, skiing the leaves changing colors. Make buyers feel that if they live here this is what their life will be like. For more information, contact Tori Toth at tori@stylishstagers.com or 888.667.6643.
