Tips For Home Sellers – High Quality Listing Photos Are Essential

Posted By Terry Adams @ Dec 5th 2014 4:35pm In: Selling Tips

Most homebuyers begin the search for their new home online which means that photographs play an integral role in convincing a potential buyer that they want to take the time to view your property. “Web appeal” has become at least as important as curb appeal in the marketing of your home. The importance of making sure your listing photographs are done well cannot be overstated. Even the most beautiful home can languish on the market if potential buyers are greeted with low-quality or poorly-staged photographs.

There are a number of things you can do to ensure the best possible photographs of your home.

Think about the times of day when your home gets the most natural light. Make absolutely sure that the photographs are taken at those times.
Be sure that the home is free of all clutter. Everyone has to deal with junk mail, newspapers, magazines, children’s toys, and the like in their everyday lives, but if you are trying to sell your home, it needs to look as attractive and spacious as possible.
Focus on the architecture of the house rather than the decor and find ways to highlight the focal point of the room.
Remove all area rugs from the space. Unbroken floor space makes any room appear larger.
It is usually best to turn on all lights for listing photos. Good lighting will draw the eye of potential homebuyers to every corner of the space.
Consider hiring a professional photographer who can help determine how to show your home in the best possible light.

In regard to real estate, a picture really is worth a thousand words! Take the time to do everything possible to have the highest quality photographs of your home. They are powerful tools to help make your home stand out in a field of listings.
