1. July 4, 2017 Visual Tricks to Make Your Real Estate Home Attractive to Buyers Photos can be your ticket to selling your home fast. Since 92% of homebuyers start their search online, providing visuals to market your property is crucial. They won’t automatically sell your home but they can drive potential buyers to pick up the phone and call you or your broker. That’s the first aim of your marketing. You need to entice buyers to drive to your place and personally check what your house has to offer. Page | 1

2. Taking photos can be quite a challenge, especially when you don’t have any skills with it. That’s why it’s best to hire real estate experts who provide professional photography and other services to make your home even more appealing. There are tricks they can do to highlight the best assets of the property you’re selling. Show the Front It’s all about the curb appeal. It’s what will draw people’s first impression about the property, so a photograph of the front of the house should be included in the online listing. When photographing the front, the view must be clear of any debris or distractions such as vehicles in the driveway or at the front. The buyer should have a full view of the façade. Professionals usually crop out the sidewalks and the streets to put the focus on the house itself. They also get some close-up shots and find good angles that could highlight the house’s material and color, as well as do the shoot at the right time of the day. It’s when there’s no shade on the house that could be seen in the photo. Highlight the Exterior If you have a yard, buyers would like to see it. Taking photographs while highlighting the space it covers is essential. Before starting the photoshoot, however, prepare your property by mowing the lawn and trimming the bushes for a cleaner and tidier look. Remove children’s toys and other items that can get in the way. This will make the photographer’s job easier and faster. In case you don’t have a yard, you and your photographer can take pictures of the community pool, spa, clubhouse, or tennis court. This will let buyers see the amenities they can enjoy when they buy your house. Page | 2

3. Showcase the Rooms The interior is as important as the exterior. Even if you’re not confident that all rooms would look good in pictures, your photographer can still snap some shots. It’s important to show potential buyers the rooms your house features. It’s like giving them a virtual tour of the house. When photographing the interior, the photographer would probably want you to open the drapes and blinds to let natural light in. They will also highlight the best details such as the high quality wood floor and the attractive fireplace, so make sure these parts are clean and in good condition. Real estate brokers will publish these images together with information about your property to increase your chance of hooking interested buyers. For best results, ask a real estate professional in your area for help.
