Start from the beginning

The goal is to help someone get that in-person experience even when hosting a virtual tour. As someone who probably has no experience with virtual tours of any kind, you won’t have an idea where to start. That’s why it’s always a good idea to start from the beginning – your front door. Try to follow the path that you would take when showing someone a house in person.

Of course, house tours and home staging are all about making your home as appealing to buyers as possible. That’s why we here at Divine Moving and Storage NYC suggest that you put a nice potted plant outside of your door and make sure the entrance to your home is sparkly clean. After all, the first impression is the most important one.

Cover every nook and cranny

It might not occur to you to show the inside of your closet or storage space, for example. However, you can rest assured that people want to see every corner of your home if they are to consider buying it. Besides, it’s only fair to show every hidden space of your house as you would certainly want someone to do the same thing for you. The problem arises if you aren’t keeping up with the maintenance of those hidden corners of your house. That’s why you ought to take a few days to clean your home from top to bottom, all the while covering every corner of your home. You can rest assured that no one will hire a reliable Manhattan moving service after buying your house if they manage to see dust and cobwebs over the camera. That certainly means you have some serious decluttering to do.

Focus on the best features of your home

Think about it – what is it that made you buy your house in the first place? Was it the open floor concept? A spacious kitchen? A beautiful view? Every house has something that makes it especially appealing for people and if you are trying to sell your home, those are the features you should focus on. You can always consult with your real estate agent and see what they think the best feature of your home is. Honestly speaking, a good real estate agent will give you the best virtual home staging tips – that’s their job.

A little pro tip: turn on all the lights and lamps, be it day or night. That should give your viewers the best and most flattering image of your house, showing it in all its glory. You can rest assured that it won’t be long before they will get in touch with local or long-distance movers in Manhattan after buying your home or apartment.

Decorate your rooms with art, trays, and candles

You would be surprised how big of a difference simple things like this can make. Introducing a few art pieces and decorative trays in your rooms will tie the look of the room together. The candles will give your Manhattan house or apartment that homey vibe that sells homes. And the best part is that you don’t have to invest a lot of your money into these decorations. You’ll just have to visit a few affordable stores in New York where you will be able to find the necessary pieces at budget-friendly prices.

Don’t forget the great outdoors

You should never forget that your home isn’t composed of only the rooms and walls – it’s also made of the front yard and the back yard. In fact, the curb appeal of your home could be the selling point. There are many different ways in which you can improve the curb appeal of your home. Of course, you don’t have enough time to plant trees and flowers, but you could mow the lawn, repaint or replace the patio furniture, and simply spruce things up. Just don’t forget to include the outdoor of your home in the video tour – it could be the dealbreaker.

There are many other virtual home staging tips that you can find

This is only the list of five things that you can do in order to sell your Manhattan property faster and at a better price. Virtual tours are definitely challenging and they won’t make it easy to sell your home, even though they are the only way of selling a home these days. But Divine Moving and Storage NYC have got your back. With our virtual home staging tips, you’ll have to put in a little bit of effort in order to reap great results. Sounds like a win-win situation.
