Your listing photos play a huge role in drawing potential buyers to your home—and, ultimately, getting your home sold.

But if you want your listing photos to attract buyers, they need to frame your home in the right light—and that might mean saying goodbye to some of your home decor prior to snapping your photos.

So what, exactly, needs to go?

A recent article from Apartment Therapy outlined advice from real estate photographers on things you’ll want to stash away before you take your listing photos, including:

  • Tall vases. Tall vases can make a statement in a room—but because they’re so large, they can make too much of a statement in a photo. If you want to display flowers or plants in your listing photos, keep vases to a more manageable height.
  • Area rugs. Area rugs may add color and character to a room. But they also can make a space feel smaller and cover up the home’s original flooring. Before you take your listing photos, get rid of small area rugs or runners to open up the space and show off your floors—particularly if your floors are hardwood or tile.
  • Appliances. Obviously, you’ll want to keep major appliances—like your refrigerator and dishwasher—where they are. But if you have a variety of small appliances cluttering your counter space, you’ll want to put them in storage so your counters feel as clean, spacious, and organized as possible.

The Takeaway:

Bottom line? Your listing photos play a large part in your home sale—and if you want your listing photos to attract buyers and help you get your property sold, plan to put these items away before your photo shoot.

We work with a professional photographer to create your best “home story” which helps us sell your home quickly and for the most money! Get in touch today and let’s starting telling your home story!

Good property photos are essential to attracting buyers for your home, especially with the number of buyers using the internet to search for homes. The decision to tour a home can depend on your photos! A bad property photo can make the difference between someone contacting you or not.

While we always encourage our clients to go the extra mile and invest in a professional photographer for their listing, there are times when this isn’t feasible. In absence of a professional, we like to have a lot of photos for buyers to consider, and we use a simple checklist to get the most out of each shot.

If you’re photographing a property, ask yourself these seven questions before you snap each shot.

Seven Tips to Improve Your Property Photos

1. Is there anything in the frame that distracts from the focus on the property? Look out for stray hoses, vehicles, recycling bins, etc.

2. Am I close enough to the property? Better to fill the shot than crop later.

3. Is this room interesting enough to photograph in detail?

4. Have I removed unnecessary items from the interior shots? Check for garbage cans, magazines on tables, excess furniture, etc.

5. Is the lighting suitable for this shot? Check to make sure you’re not shooting into really bright lights, sliding glass doors, fluorescent lights.

6. Does this shot require a tripod to avoid distortion? Hand-held shots can reveal distortion, especially when you’re shooting horizontal or vertical shots. One alternative is shooting from a favorable angle.

7. Did I get all of the one-of-a-kind details? Look for exceptional architecture, gardens, privacy features, transitional spaces.

Are you ready to shoot your home and list it? Give us a call and let a professional market it. (Plus, we pay for the professional photographer!) Kevin and Jennifer Hanley, REALTORS, 904-422-7626 Keller Williams Realty Atlantic Partners
