I wanted to share with you today some great tips on how to capture the best images for your listing photography. I know some agents hire out this service and have a professional take their listing pictures. This is fantastic and truly does make a difference.
But, if you’re a new agent, or just a Sales Representative that enjoys complete the tasks independently, these tips below were written with you in mind!
I find it interesting the amount of marketing material I see out there that is horribly designed or the pictures on feature sheets aren’t suffice to show the true value in a home.
6 Photography tidbits for listing photography
- 1. Take pictures of your new listing when the sun is shining on the front of the house.
- 2. Know the direction the front of the home faces.
- 3. Use of digital equipment is essential. Not only are they user-friendly but they most certainly will give you the best quality in your pictures.
- 4. Not only is it important to use digital equipment. It is important for you to know how to use your equipment effectively. (Taking a quick course at your local camera store is well worth the investment.
- 5. Be sure to take a few pictures from different angles and distances. You’ll have a chance to check your pictures later and pick the ones that best show the features of the home.
- 6. Perhaps most important, make sure the home is ready for you to take pictures. Remove any clutter from the yard, close doors, and garages, make sure there are no drawers open in bedrooms, or closet doors. A quick check and tidy will make sure you capture the home in the best light.
If you’re not 100% confident in your ability to take the best images of your new listing, I highly recommend you invest in a professional. Pictures are often the first impression setter. Don’t leave a bad impression with your prospective buyers!
