Great Listing Photos Sell Your Home Faster

Great Listing Photos Sell Your Home Faster

Listing photos are easily the most important part of a real estate listing, and ultimately selling your home. As technology evolves, so does the real estate market, and thus, online listings. While some sellers are opting to still hold open houses for their homes, the majority of home sales are being conducted by private tours only in an effort to help limit the number of potential buyers in the property at any given time. The days of driving through your desired neighborhood and simply popping into open houses are seemingly over, and while this may be frustrating for many buyers, surprisingly it makes it difficult for sellers too.

Great Listing Photos Sell Your Home FasterOpen houses were once the best and often the easiest way for sellers to market their homes to potential buyers as it allowed for the space to speak for itself, however, now, many of your homes best features may be missed by many buyers as they aren’t able to be physically seen before the listing is viewed and, in some cases, removed from the “favorite” list of potential buyers.

When selling your home in today’s market, your online listing needs to be up to parr, otherwise you may risk losing potential buyer’s before they’ve ever even stepped foot through the front door. In addition to being marketed in all the right places and on all the proper websites, the actual listing itself is the single-most important thing when it comes to a successful sale. The property description shouldn’t be too wordy, should highlight your homes features, nearby attractions, restaurants, schools, and ultimately, should be a portfolio of your home including, high quality listing photos.

Your listing photos should highlight the space and features in your home and most importantly, should be professional photos. Lighting and angles are the two biggest things that need to be thought of when listing photos are taken, as both are easy ways to either elevate your photos or have them look less appealing than the space truly is. Listings with professional photos were viewed 20% more than listings with either no photos, minimal photos, or low-quality photos, additionally, these listings sold for an average of $11,000 more than other listings and sold nearly 35% faster than other homes. So, if you’re hoping to sell your home fast, and for top dollar, hiring a reputable real estate photographer for your online listing is a great place to start.

“The Bakers treated us like family during our whirlwind weekend of looking at houses. Prior to our on-site visit to Sunset Beach they created a portal and populated it with properties that met our ever-evolving criteria. By time we arrived we had a good feel for what we could afford and what was available that met our criteria. The Bakers, especially Karen, were able to make sense of what we thought we were looking for and eventually matched us with a house that we ended up purchasing — Karen called it the “This is it” house and she was right. We are loving our 2nd home and appreciate how painless Karen and Frank made the process. All the paperwork was done seamlessly and quickly and the closing went off without a hitch. The Bakers do not believe in the hard sell — they gave us the knowledge we needed and the guidance we needed to make our dream a reality.”

Amy and I have bought and sold four properties in the past twelve years. Both of you are the best realtors we have ever dealt with. Amy and I both felt we could trust you to look out for our interest. The level of service you provided was outstanding, from taking the trash out, helping the buyer with inspecting the irrigation system, dealing with our tenants, always being there if we needed to ask a question, providing constant updates on the market and always keeping us informed on the sale of our house. I think your next venture should be training other realtors, because both of you have mastered the art of providing excellent service. I will be sure to recommend the Frank and Karen team to anybody looking for a trust worthy, knowledgeable and top performing realtor. It was a pleasure working with both of you.”
