Once the professional photos are taken your house will live on FOREVER on the internet, so make sure all light bulbs work AND match.
Have you ever seen a bathroom vanity with 3 soft-warm and 1 bright-white bulb? Yep. This kind of atrocity happens every day in the MLS.
Buyers need to be focused on the space, not the missing bulb in the chandelier. Plus, many times a burnt out bulb in the kitchen leads Buyers to think there's an underlying electrical issue (yes, that was a real conversation with a buyer) or more uncovered deferred maintenance.
Also, make a quick scan in each room for outdated or mismatched lighting fixtures. A couple simple swaps can breathe new life into a tired space and make a world of difference in communicating that space effectively online.
