This is a question that every home seller in Jacksonville should ask before signing on the dotted line. And by including photos I do NOT mean the one shot of the front of the home from across the street. I mean enough pictures to get the buyer in your front door. There should be multiple interior pictures of your home. In living areas it is always good to have pictures from at least a couple of different angles. You should also have several different pictures of the yard.
Here is a fact. Most buyers in the Jacksonville market will skip over homes that do not have multiple pictures! We have heard time and time again, "Don't send us any listings without pictures." Buyers simply want to preview the home before they view the home. In this age of technology, buyers are very educated. Usually, by the time they go out to look at homes the first time they know what is out there. In addition, in our experience most of our buyers prescreen all of the homes before they want to see it. They do this with multiple pictures along with virtual tours. There are enough homes listed in Jacksonville with sufficient pictures-buyers do not have to resort to guessing what might be inside a home. They can fill up their time checking out homes that have already passed their initial "inspection."
One important thing to remember is that pictures won't do you any good if they do not showcase your home in the best possible light. If the room is cluttered, or too dark, the picture will turn the buyer away rather than draw them in. When having pictures taken of your home you should carefully de-clutter your home. You don't want the buyers' attention drawn to the two foot high stack of magazines on the coffee table or the 20 pictures showcasing all of the grandkids on the mantle. The buyers need to be able to focus on the room.
When done correctly, pictures can help sell your home! Don't list your home without them.
