Photos, Photos, Photos!

In today’s challenging market, every listing must stand out and be noticed.  Great photos, and plenty of them, are extremely important.  Buyers want (and demand) to see lots of photos of properties for sale, and sellers demand them in the marketing of their homes.

If you plan on listing your house, make sure your agent takes a lot of GOOD photos.  Make sure rooms are staged properly, lighting is good, and clutter is removed.  This will help the prospective buyer to visualize themselves in the space.

The primary photo – usually the front of the property – should be fantastic.  This is the photo that wets the buyers appetite to want to see more details and photos of a house.

Another key thing to remember is that a lot of real estate web sites will sort property listings by photo count.  For example, the listings with more photos will be at the top of a property search and have a better chance of being viewed by a potential buyer.  Your home is special, so take photos worthy of it!
