Everyone here on Active Rain knows what to do don't they? Say you get a brand new listing in December or January. Of course run right out and get your pictures taken and then put you listing in. OK you have showings but no offers yet and BAM it is SPRING time. So what do you do??? What you don't know think hard know here is a hint.
Have we got the answer yet. I tell you what here is the other hint.
Notice anything different? Yes, yes I know the garage is on the other side. Same basic home though (actually right around the corner) but, what has caught your eye? Maybe the COLOR! YES Spring time so let's freshen up all those listings that have a dead yard or no leaves on the trees. Can't you see what a difference the color makes in these two photo's? The sky is not overcast and dreary, everything is green it even makes the brick look brighter. You need to remember as all those buyers that we know are out there searching on the Internet are looking at homes that fit their basic requirements. Yes it has enough bedrooms and bathrooms. Yes, it has a garage. But, just as we talk to our sellers about staging their home and taking down all the clutter we need to stage our listings.
I don't know about you but, I have already scheduled my photographer to go out and reshoot the front of all the new listings that I got over the winter. I even have him scheduled to go by and just shoot the front one home that I do not even have listed yet. But, I went by today to speak with the owners and they have two beautiful dogwood trees in their front yard and wonderful azaleas in bloom in front of the home. That picture is really going to grab some buyers attention as they scan the internet looking for their next home sweet home.
So Spring Fresh your listings and grab that buyers attention from the first glance!
