As agents, we all know that for the most part, listings are first seen on the Internet. House hunters surf the net, looking for homes to add to their list of Sunday open houses. What do they see when they see yours? Are your photos grainy and small? Are they taken in poor lighting in late afternoon? A photograph can be the only reason someone looks at your listing, and if taken poorly, the only reason a potential home buyer looks somewhere else. You need to make every pixel count, and make certain the photos look professional, and clearly presented.
The home you are showing is your canvas, and you need to make certain your listing photographs are not unprofessional looking. If a buyer sees the photography of a listing, and finds the listing unprofessional, they could associate you with also being unprofessional. The home needs to really stand out in the photographs; you need to make the house hunter drool, and put your house first on their list of Sunday visits. A professional photographer can even make the less desirable properties look amazing.
The Jan Oystrick Team uses a fantastic photographer by the name of Peter Zwarich, his photos are inviting, warm and give the home a "I must live there!" feeling. We use him to photograph many of our listings because he can show the home for all it's worth (and more).
It's very important to show the listing to it's full potential, and give the home buyer a sense of what the home is all about. You don't want to lose a potential buyer before they even leave their computers.
Until next time, thanks for reading.
The Jan Oystrick Team.
