How Important is Curb Appeal and Good Photography?

Hi Margaret --- Bingo, indeed!   A powerful example.   

It is the angle perspective view that shows the best. I always suggest something reddish flowers that accentuate the home.

That neighborhood seems to have a number of huge estates. My memory is fading......

Great story.

The landscaping change was so important for my personal attraction.  More so than the color for me.  I'm so glad your sellers listened to you.

Great example of good photography.

The pictures say it all.  What a difference of both the importance of the right angle and also the color and landscaping.  Great post.

Those outside changes made a difference!  Curb appeal  and great photography will help sell a property quicker.

Margaret Goss What a difference the color, landscaping and photos made!   People are often swayed by first impressions.  The color is much more appealing as is the garage door and landscaping.  Your sellers are lucky to have you.

Hi Margaret Goss great job for your clients.  The improvements from 1, to 2 to 3 are outstanding.  While also not cheap, it's better sometimes to spend a little to get a lot more in the end.  Better angle, color and more appeal!  

Margaret, The photos tell the story ... seeing the before - during and after photos really brings the story to life.  The photos do not lie. 

I love the last photo. I agree photos do not lie. Thanks  for sharing.

Margaret, Whether were selling a 100k or 500k price point we use professional photographer. A important point you remind me of is to update photo as needed. 

Margaret,

We have been preaching professional photography with good lighting and HDR regardless of price.  Somehow the word has not been heard including on the high end, where I saw a $2million home photos taken with and old iPhone...Luckily the seller switched agents...that is what one should get for being cheap.  A

Margaret Goss - the 3 pictures tell us the  what a buyer would like, of course. Curb Appeal is where Eye Buys..

Good morning Margaret Goss ,

Seeing is believing and the 3 pictures tell the whole story! Curb appeal and great pictures make all the difference! Barbara Todaro always says "Eye Buys!"

Good morning, Margaret Goss yes, "the eye buys" and one eye catching photo can do it.... 

AMEN!

Another great example of the power of visual appeal!

I always use professional photography but this illustrates the importance of curb appeal as well. Sellers are more willing to update interiors rather than exteriors but if they can't get buyers in the front door, what good does it do them? 

This is a perfect example of how an excellent curb appeal can add so much more character to a home. Thank you for sharing this.

Excellent post! The before and after photos speak loudly that some effort and dollars make a difference.

Good call, Margaret Goss!  A dramatic improvement in visual appeal, to say the least.  You provide yourself a great argument for improvements to be made prior to Listing when speaking to future potential Sellers too ... 

Very impressive ...
