A picture is worth 1,000 words, especially when it comes to selling a home. As more buyers shop for properties online, high-quality photos are more important than ever. “Good photos will grab people’s attention and help you sell a home,” “Bad pictures will absolutely give you trouble, because you won’t have any calls on it and nobody will come to see it.”Whether you take the pictures or you hire an expert, here are some tips for making the home look its best on camera.
Insist on good photography equipment so the photos are sharp and colors aren’t washed out.
Get rid of clutter in the home so the focus can be on the property, not the furniture and personal items.
Don’t shoot at night. Natural daylight will make the home look brighter.
Use flowers; they’ll add color to the photos.
Wide-angle lens are good, unless they distort the view. Making an average living room look like a ballroom will only disappoint potential buyers when they see the real thing.
