Photo Tips
As part of our complimentary onboarding process we’ll send our professional photographer to your house to take photos. Below are some great tips on getting your rental photo ready!
- Declutter: Remove personal items, excess furniture, and any unnecessary clutter from the space. This helps create a clean and spacious look in the photographs.
- Clean and tidy up: Ensure that the entire property is clean, including all rooms, bathrooms, kitchen, and common areas. Pay attention to details like dusting, vacuuming, and making beds. Remove any visible stains or dirt.
- Decorate with a neutral aesthetic: Opt for a neutral color palette when choosing furniture, decor, and accessories. This appeals to a wider range of potential guests and creates a fresh, inviting atmosphere.
- Enhance natural lighting: Open curtains and blinds to allow natural light to flood the rooms. Bright, well-lit spaces tend to look more appealing in photographs.
- Highlight key features: Showcase the unique selling points of your rental. If there are attractive views, balconies, or amenities like a pool or fireplace, make sure to capture them in the photos.
- Stage outdoor spaces: If your vacation rental has an outdoor area, such as a patio or garden, make sure it is tidy and well-maintained. Arrange outdoor furniture in an inviting manner and consider adding some colorful plants or cushions for a touch of vibrancy.
- Add subtle touches: Use small decorative elements like fresh flowers, strategically placed throw pillows, or neatly folded towels to add a cozy and welcoming feel to the space.
- Consider professional photography: If possible, hire a professional photographer experienced in real estate or vacation rental photography. They can capture the best angles, utilize proper lighting techniques, and showcase your property in its most appealing way.
Remember, the goal is to present your vacation rental as an attractive and inviting space that potential guests would want to stay in. High-quality, well-staged photos can significantly enhance the appeal of your property and attract more bookings.
