PICTURE-PERFECT SALE: MAKE YOUR HOME STAND OUT WITH GREAT PHOTOS
When it comes to selling your home, your listing photos can play an even bigger role than curb appeal. that’s because those photos provide potential buyers with their first impression of your home. And they can draw buyers just aching to make an offer – or turn them away in droves. Make the right impression with these tips:
- Clean and declutter first. Getting rid of excess furniture and knick-knacks makes your home appear more spacious, cleaner and better maintained.
- Use plenty of lighting. Dark or dimly-lit spaces look cramped, crowded and dirty. Increase the watts on your own lighting or bring in new lamps and open curtains to emphasize natural light.
- Include lots of photos of the main areas of your home. Ever see a listing that focused only on a couple of rooms? That’s an indication to lots of buyers that the other areas may not be worth looking at. Including plenty of photos with your listing lets buyers tour the home before visiting, and they can also help buyers remind themselves of the home’s features after a showing.
Not sure your pics are up to par? Hire a professional photographer. They have the equipment and experience to make your home look great – and that might help you sell faster.
