CT Home Sellers – Is Your Home Photo Ready?
You’ve been working on your home. Cleaning, de-cluttering closets and cabinets. Moving extra furniture, packing away extras and shining wood, door knobs, mirrors and windows.
Once your home is in tip-top shape and sparkling clean, it’s time to set the stage for some photographs.
Some tips:
- Remove personalized items and unnecessary decor from rooms since you want photos to allow potential buyers to picture themselves living in the home,.
- Show off your home’s best features. Maybe it’s how the sun shines on a bowl of fresh fruit on the breakfast table every morning, or how nice the fireplace glow looks from across the room. Remember to also include outdoor photos of the landscaping and yard.
- Use the sun to your advantage. Have the house photographed on a bright day, so natural light fills every room. When rooms are brightly lit, they give off a more aesthetically pleasing feel and appear larger in pictures. Some photographers prefer inside photos to be takes on a bright day, not necessarily full sun. Most agree, exterior photo are best with the sun overhead and some clouds on the sky.
- Be sure to have the photographer take multiple photos of each room, using different angles. Since most multiple listing service Web sites allow for more than 20 photos to be posted, it is best to give potential buyers a big selection of pictures. More photos usually lead to more requests for walk-throughs, putting you right where you want to be.
- Wide Angle Photography. Ask for the photographer to use a wide angle lens. Take a look at the difference and you will never change back for home photos.
