How to Ensure That Your Listing Photos Will Sell Your Home

August 19, 2022 by Jeremy Lindy

When selling a home, first impressions matter, and potential buyers frequently get their initial glimpse of your house from listing images. Unfortunately, potential home buyers likely won’t schedule a viewing if they don't like what they see. Listings with captivating photos stand out and are more likely to be seen online by people looking to buy a home. Here’s how to ensure that your listing photos will sell your home:

Always Work With a Professional Real Estate Photographer

A real estate photographer specializing in capturing great photos of the interior and outside properties for real estate listings is who you should employ if you want the best photos. Even though taking photos yourself is less expensive than hiring an expert, it reduces your chance of making a sale. 

A professional photographer will know how to stage your home to look its best, and they will have the equipment and expertise to take high-quality photos. In addition, a good photographer will be able to edit the photos to remove any imperfections, such as clutter or awkward angles. By taking the time to find a good photographer, you can be confident that your listing photos will help sell your home.

It is crucial to capture the beauty of your home to attract more potential buyers. For instance, you may now need the services of a Philadelphia real estate expert if you are looking into the Rittenhouse Square Apartments, which are famous for their beauty. 

Find an Experienced Real Estate Photo Editor

Apart from a professional photographer, you will also need a professional real estate photo editor to ensure that all raw photographs are correctly handled in the post-production phase.

They have the skills necessary to correct light, color, and saturation. A great photo editor will turn the raw images from your photographer into eye-catching pictures that can be used in online listings or brochures. They also understand how crucial fast photo editing turnaround times are when it comes to real estate photography. With an experienced photo editor at your side, you can rest easy knowing that your listing photos will have maximum impact.

Clean and Fix Your Home

Before taking photos, you should deep clean your house and get rid of your personal belongings. Additionally, you ought to have worked on house staging with your real estate agent or a professional stager for a short while. When staging your home, you should ensure that the furniture is placed to create an equal flow and that everything matches and is in its proper place.

Consistency With the Lighting

It is important to maintain uniform lighting in every room during picture day so that the photos turn out well. For a more unified appearance in the space, switch out your light bulbs, so they are all of the same types. When the photographer is shooting, you should try to avoid artificial light whenever you can. This involves planning the shoot for a time when your home is bathed in natural light and cleaning the windows so you can open them.

Select Your Listing Photos Carefully

Always choose your listing photographs carefully. Quality always wins over quantity when listing images. You should only utilize the best photos in your listing to ensure that it functions as a valuable marketing tool. Having enough pictures to showcase your home and pique people's interest in seeing more is essential. 

The effectiveness of the listing photos ultimately hinges on the pre-and post-production techniques used, as well as the imagination and flair infused into the raw images. How many people view your listing, how quickly it sells, and how much they are willing to pay will depend on the images you upload.
