Pictures Talk

You all know the saying... "A picture speaks a 1000 words"

What would you want the pictures of your home on MLS to say?

You have 90 seconds to make a lasting impression. That is how long it takes for potential buyers to form their first impression about your house and decide if they want to see more.

Lets Talk Statistics
According to the National Association of Realtors:

80% of buyers prescreen homes on the internet
75% of these buyers went on to drive by the homes
61% walk through a home viewed online

Staged homes look better in online and print advertising because they are appealing and present the best features of each space.

You said it Alyse! It really is that simple. I am going to incorporate these stats into my presentation. Pictures also give we stagers essential credibility.

Yvonne - thanks for asking. It's going well, Had the first seder at our home for the first time ever. That was an experience. But, with 3 kids under 3, it made sense. Put them to bed, and we enjoyed ourselves!

Jackson - Glad I was able to contribute!

3 under 3 makes my head swirl. Twins? Triplets? Crazy? I gotta love you.

Great pictures speak clear! Bad pictures drive folks away. Preview pics regularly. Adjust pics as needed! Stage your photos.

Hello Alyse,

I think your Pictures are awesome. Here in Detroit, there is not a large market for stagers. I was thinking what someone would think on a professional level would think about my home. If you have a chance, Please let me know. I have it listed on the mls.

Thanks,

Matt
