When preparing to list a property, professional photography is something that has been established as a clear necessity, not just a luxury. Home buyers spend more time researching properties online than ever before and most do this research before ever contacting a realtor to look at a listing. This means that pictures that are done professionally are imperative to getting buyers into your homes. However, many real estate agents (4 comments)

Virtual Staging and How it Can Help Sell Your Vacant Listing Presentation is everything in real estate, especially when most potential buyers check properties out online before they even consider seeing the property in person. As realtors, we’re all familiar with staging – where a professional comes into a home, decorates and fills it with their own furniture and accessories to make the home more appealing to potential buyers.

If the image that you're presenting as the main image of your property is not professional, appealing, and intriguing, they will move on. Your listing photographs create (0 comments)
