According to the National Association of Realtors, 87% of home buyers find a house online before requesting a showing. This is a staggering statstic that reflects just how much the landscape of real estate has changed over the past few years. Every home seller should be aware of this important fact. Online photos are more important than ever before.
It's not enough anymore to show a picture of the front of your house, the backyard, the empty living room and a bedroom. Or worse yet, a cluttered room or distracting photo. Nothing shows you don't care about the marketing of your home more than a poorly taken photograph. But what type of picture really sells a home?
NOT THIS
OR THIS
A professional home stager knows how to work with your space so it will look good not only in person, but also in photos so buyers will actually come to your property. If they are turned off by the online photos, you've lost a potential buyer. Don't let that happen. Here are the same two rooms after being staged.
The rooms are now defined, look inviting, and will not turn buyers away. Strong colors can also be a deterrent to buyers. Staging will help tone down the colors and make them feel more inviting.
Don't list your property without reviewing your online photos and ensuring they show your property in the best possible way. It's an easily avoidable trap that can save you thousands of dollars.
