Want a good tip for taking better photos of the home you want to sell? This tip is also used in the film industry. It’s a really good idea that everyone should take advantage of. Obviously, you need to clean your windows well. Clean the insides and outsides of the windows with a streak-free glass cleaner. That’s not the tip though. This trick will boost your online “curb appeal” by making your windows shimmer. No one will quite know why your home’s windows look so outstanding, but they will know that they do.

Get the most shine for your photos by removing the window screens! It’s a simple trick that makes a huge difference. All you have to do is go to the outside of your house and remove the outside screens. This is a great home staging trick that the pros use. Your windows will look as clean as they really are. Screens hide the shine in the photographs. By removing the screens, a potential buyer can pick up on the cleanliness immediately.

If you were to leave the screens on while taking marketing photos, the windows will appear darker and the shine becomes muted. You can also remove the screens before an open house too. When you remove the screens, just be sure to label where they go if you have different sized windows. That will make replacing them before the sale much easier!
