Present your Woodbury Home for Sale in the Best Light

By
Real Estate Agent

If you’re in the process of selling your Woodbury, MN home, you know that you need every advantage on your side. With many foreclosed houses on the market competing with yours for showings and interest, it’s never been more important to make your house stand out from the crowd.

There’s very good advice in this article regarding presenting your home to buyers. These days “web appeal” is nearly more important than “curb appeal”, as almost all buyers are checking out homes online before setting up a showing. And web appeal means good photography of your home. Sure, you could take some yourself with your point & shoot camera, but they likely will not be the kind of photos that draw buyers in.

Having a good stager and photographer set your rooms up to be properly shot and lit is a good investment – one that will pay off with far more showings than a “DIY” home. Part of the reason is simple equipment – you likely do not have the same camera equipment at your disposal (or the knowledge of how to use it well) that a professional photographer has. The other reason is the ever-important “second pair of eyes” issue. No matter how much you want to sell your home, it’s still your home and you’ll have a blind spot to how to make it more appealing to someone who isn’t you. Stagers and photographers have an unbiased perspective and can recommend moving furniture, removing items and rearranging things in such a way that the room is opened up and potential buyers can more easily picture themselves living there.

The sobering news, as Shannon Roark (real-estate agent and home stager) says, is “There are so many good deals out there, if you’re not in the top one or two on anyone’s list, your house will be on the market forever.” Capturing buyers’ interest with your good photos and good home staging is one of the easiest things you can do to get good web appeal for your Woodbury, Minnesota home.
