Kitchen Sell.... How are they Presented?

By
Real Estate Agent with EXIT Realty Beatrice Associates 9506757

I was cruising thu the MLS th other day and noticed some really bad photos... especially of the kitchens.  As real estate agents we know kitchens sell homes.  I started to focus a little bit on some of the photography of kitchens.  What I saw was poorly lit, out of focus, unstaged, etc... photography of some kitchens.

Good Kitchen Photographs Start with Staging

First of all good kitchen photographs start with home staging.  Kitchens need to be clean and free of clutter.  I discuss the importance of presenting the home properly with all of my clients.  As a side note, the sample kitchens I am showing as my results are at a price point starting at $50k and some of them are short sales.  Price or it being a short sale does not mean I offer less of a service to my seller clients.

Your First Showings are Online

It is important to remember that, a sellers first showing are really online.  If a potential home buyer does not like what they see online, they will not call for a showing.  Sellers need to know the online image of their home is important in securing showings for a successful home sale.

 

Kitchen Samples

When presenting your home online, offer quality photogrpahs not a million poor quality photographs.  Your online presentation will compel buyers to view your home.

"Your First Showings are Online" - what a great statement, Kevin!    A good tutorial with excellent "Theirs vs. Mine" pics.   Suggested!

Thanks Fred... Its funny, I now get so many requests for buyers on other agents listings for more pictures when they have not given a good pictoral feel of the home.  The photographs you present online are probaly today one of the biggest marketing tools you have.

Kevin, presentation can be everything! Your photos are wonderful, and really depict the kitchen so a potential buyer could imagine themselves there!
