As a real estate broker there's nothing more exciting that having an opportunity to sell a home that is photogenic. Homes where the seller is a designer and has taken extra special care to create a warm and wonderful environment are really fun to sell.
In fact sometimes they end up selling without much help from me. Unfortuneately homes like that are few and far between.
Most people don't live in the home the way it needs to be when you sell it. It's obvious why home stagers do so well when they enter into the home selling scene.
Home exteriors where I live tend to be very much the same. We live in a time of master planned communities and subdivisions. Homes in these places tend to stand out as individuals less and less.
The best way for a home to stand out from the crowd these days is by having outstanding photos, and plenty of them. Sadly not everyone sees this simple bit of advice as proven by browsing through the MLS-IDX services.
So many agents fail when it comes to presenting their listings in a manner that will attract a buyer. They publish one exterior photo and call it quits!
Not me. I go to the other extreme. When I list a property I take photos from every angle. I shoot from the windows looking out so the viewer can see what kind of view the home has from that window. Then I capture the neighborhood by taking photos of places and things that might appeal to a buyer.
The days are gone when we just sold a house. Today we sell lifestyle along with a home.
May I sell yours?
