It’s critical to keep in mind that property listing photos are a buyer’s first impression of a home. With that said, here are a few tips when taking shots of an estate:
1. Plan Your Shot
Have an outline of the shots you want to take prior to pulling your camera out. Make sure you capture all portions of the house to avoid having to schedule a re-shoot.
2. Adjust Furniture
Organize furniture in a manner that will be visually appealing to a possible buyer. Sellers don’t tend to mind if it means a quicker purchase!
3. Assure House Is Neat
Turn off electronics, get rid of clutter, put toilet seats down, etc.
4. Avoid Photos Of Blank Walls
It’s important for a house to stand out, so find a more interesting shot. A blank wall is a waist of film.
5. Watch For Reflections
Be careful when taking photos near windows or mirrors to avoid being in the shot.
Quality photo listings will make for great sales.
