2       ๐Ÿงผ Clean thoroughly: Make sure your home is spotless. Clean all surfaces, floors, windows, and mirrors. Pay extra attention to kitchens and bathrooms, as these areas tend to show dirt and grime easily.โ€จ
         
3       ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Depersonalise: Remove personal items such as family photos, personal artwork, and memorabilia. This allows potential buyers to envision themselves living in the space and makes it easier for them to imagine their own belongings in the home.โ€จ
         
4       ๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ Stage your home: Arrange furniture in a way that showcases the flow and functionality of each room. Use neutral colours and simple decor too.โ€จ

6       ๐Ÿก Enhance curb appeal: The exterior of your home is the first thing potential buyers will see in the photos. Ensure that your front garden is well-maintained.โ€จ
         
7       ๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ Pay attention to the details: Check for any small repairs or touch-ups that need to be done, such as chipped paint, broken fixtures, or loose handles. These small details can make a big difference in the overall appearance of your home in photos.

Give these handy tips a go to make your home even more attractive to buyers and hopefully  increase your chances of a successful sale.
