First, professional real estate photographers have knowledge of how to take good pictures. They know what angles will make a small room look larger than it really is. They know approaches that will focus on the positive features of the home. They know how to manipulate lights and shadows so that the room looks neither too dark nor too bright.
Nothing is more important in marketing a home on the internet than the pictures. Potential buyers, overwhelmed by all the choices, aren't choosing homes so much as eliminating them. Make sure your home isn't eliminated due to amateur photos.
Now, consider what a hard choice this is for the potential buyer who sees the pictures of these homes online. Two fairly comparable homes in size, age, and cost, where one home looks like it is pretty much ready to move into and one home that looks like it is going to take weeks to get to the point where it feels like home.
When does the first showing take place? And why are your listing photos so important? Take a look at some helpful hints for both selling agents and real estate owners.
Even one picture is better, but you - you, who markets yourself as being in your clients' best interests, have no excuse for not taking the time or spending the money for some high resolution, staged photographs that show the buyers exactly what you want them to see.
It is true that some homes, just like some people, who do not make a good first impression really do have a lot going for them once you get to know them a little better; but many home buyers are looking through so many properties that the first impressions base on photographs often determine if the buyers go to tour a house at all.
