Some common-sense facts about selling property today:
-
Almost 100% of buyers use the Internet to search for property
You are competing with listings that use images shot by professional photographers, so your listing will stand out if the images are shot with the right equipment by someone with experience! Despite the fact that your agent may have spent several hundred dollars for a nice point-and-shoot camera, they may not have the equipment or skill to showcase your property in the best light. Ask your agent BEFORE you sign the contract how YOUR property will be marketed.
-
Listings with more images sell faster and at a higher price
Presenting less than six images of your property limits your prospects of attracting a buyer's attention. In fact, the more visual information you provide, the better. The images should give the potential buyer a real feel for the property.
-
Buyers select which properties to see by a process of elimination
Don't be eliminated. Make sure your agent is using a photographer with the right equipment and knowhow. If your property is on the market now and you are not happy with the presentation, ask your agent if you can hire a professional photographer. Even if you pay for it yourself, it is a worthwhile investment in selling your home. That applies to homes from $50K up to several hundred thousand dollars and more. For sale by owner? There is nothing stopping you from using the same services.
