Listing Photos

UNDERSTANDING WHAT MAKES LISTING PHOTOS GREAT

Because the internet is often the first place people search for real estate, photos have a big impact on a listing’s performance. Here we look at understanding what makes photos great, so I can set expectations on how to get your home Listing Photos ready.

Crush curb appeal.

Cars, trash cans, sporting goods, lawn mowers, gardening equipment and other objects should be cleared and put away out of sight. Unsightly bushes and trees should be trimmed. Dead plants should be removed or replaced.

Open-door policy.

Leaving the front door open in a few shots can project a welcoming message in listing photos, so I encourage you to stage the entrance of the home to showcase the space. A nice welcome mat and potted plants or flowers can do the trick.

Capturing clutter

is an absolute no-no in listing photos. Look closely at each room of the house in detail, consider the types of items to clear. For example, kids’ artwork and personal family photos on the fridge should be removed. In the bathroom, toothbrushes, styling products, makeup and other items should be neatly stored in the cabinets.

No pet poses.

Make sure to hide litter boxes, pet food and water dishes, toys, and more. Otherwise buyers may think of pet odors or other pet-related issues with the listing.

These tips will help you prepare for the photo shoot to save time and money, and to get listing photos that stand out from the crowd!
