Preparation makes the difference
A good camera cannot replace a well-prepared property. Before the shoot, review every room from the perspective of someone seeing the home for the first time.
1. Declutter and depersonalise
Remove family photos, paperwork, cables, fridge magnets and distracting items. The home does not need to be empty; each space simply needs a clear purpose.
2. Make the most of natural light
Open blinds and curtains, clean the windows and check that every light works. Consistent lighting helps rooms feel warm and spacious.
3. Pay attention to kitchens and bathrooms
Clear worktops, put away toiletries and add clean, neutral towels. These rooms quickly communicate how well a property has been maintained.
4. Prepare terraces, pools and gardens
On the Costa del Sol, outdoor areas are a key part of the decision. Arrange furniture, open parasols where appropriate and remove hoses, buckets and maintenance items.
5. Check the small details
Straighten cushions, bed linen, chairs and artwork. Hide remote controls and bins. These are simple changes, but the camera records every detail.
