6 MLS Photo Tips to Attract Buyers
The new AZ Regional Multiple Listing Service has launched the FlexMLS system which vastly improves the ability to view listing photos and virtual tours.
Good Phoenix area Real Estate agents will do well by their clients if they take advantage of this system to layout pictures/virtual tours to get them inside your home.
Ultimately, (i think) the goal of MLS Listings is to advertise (quickly) a snapshot of your home so buyers want to go see more for themselves and ask why they should buy your home (hopefully).
Here are 6 important tips to best showcase your home to prospective buyers.
- Front View Elevation pictures - make sure you take pictures past noon with the sun at your back to provide the best lighting
- Do Not have the Realtor for sale sign in the front yard when taking the MLS photos
- Take the elevation so it takes up the majority of the photo - no one cares about the driveway and street in front of the home
- All interior lights on and windows open - think bright and cheery
- Remove unnecessary furniture to add size and space in the rooms
- Leave something to the imagination so people will come look for themselves.
I do highly recommend you ask your real estate agent to spend the $79 to hire a true professional who prepares a virtual tour and provides the MLS photos.
Though, make sure you are at the home and instruct them with the above important tips to best showcase your home.
There is one extra step that statistics do prove that help homes sell more quickly and at better prices. That tip is professional staging.
The tips may sound the same as how you layout the MLS listing photos and is why I mention them that can help ensure your home stands out from the others on the market.
Focus on the front entry. This is literally the "first impression" a buyer has to your home.
Clean and clean and Clean. A clean home smells good - think new car smell
Remove personal items like family photos and unique collectibles. You want the buyers focused on your home.
