3 Tips for Preparing for a Virtual Home Tour!

More buyers begin their search online than ever before. A strong virtual tour can turn a quick scroll into an actual showing. With a bit of preparation, your home can shine on a screen and feel even better in person.

Tip 1: Make It Camera Ready

Light is your best friend. Open blinds, turn on lamps and replace dim bulbs. Clear counters, floors and fridge doors. Hide cords, pet bowls and extra chairs. Clean glass, mirrors and stainless steel to reduce glare. Set small scenes like a neat coffee tray or a simple plant. Your agent can bring in a pro photographer or a 3D team so every room feels bright and true.

Tip 2: Guide the Story

A tour should flow like a walk. Plan the order from curb to entry to living spaces, then to bedrooms and yard. Leave doors open so the camera moves smoothly. List must-show features like a new roof, smart thermostat or storage. Your agent can script a smooth flow so buyers never get lost.

Tip 3: Check the Tech

Strong Wi Fi is essential for live tours. Test your speed and switch off heavy streaming while recording. Walk the route to check for signal drops. If doing a live video, pick a quiet time and silence phone alerts. Use a tripod or both hands for steady shots. Avoid fast pans and shoot in good light. Your agent can also add clips of the street, nearby parks and shops so buyers feel the area.

Great virtual tours do not happen by chance. With clean rooms, clear flow and simple tech checks, your home will stand out online. We know exactly what buyers want to see and can turn online views into real visits.
