Brand new home...can't get a good photo....weather won't cooperate...this isn't for the MLS...I just wanted to give my clients a nice change of address card for their new home.
The weather will drive me crazy...I can be a perfectionist at times and can't stand to have a photo without a blue sky. Buyers don't like gloomy grey skies or poor photo quality. They want those photos to zing out at them.


What do you think? It makes the homes more inviting and more interesting. I've had buyers ask me for the photos and I willingly forward them to the selling/buyer agent so they can sent them on to their clients.
I care about the images, the photos, the people. Many folks hire professional photographers in my area. I have seen their work and am not impressed. I'll wait for my blue skies. Do they sell the listings...can't say that anyone has told me that they bought because of the photo. But I do think buyers make their decisions on what homes to see because of the photo.
First impressions are lasting ones. If a buyer thinks it is cute...it will be cute.
Important Tip:Don't make the home look better in the picture than it is in person....buyers will be disappointed...and not want to buy the home. A true picture...in it's best light....gets the best results.

I wonder how many times the picture in MLS looked better than the subject.
