How Pictures Can Help to Sell Your House
In a perfect world, we could list our house for sale during the peak months that show off all the homes best assets. But the reality is that we have to move when life dictates it; new job, graduate school, family necessity – you name it!
I suggest starting a “House Pictures” file on your computer. As the seasons come and go, remember to take a few snapshots of highlights around your home. Keep the file updated from year to year. Things like your landscaping and/or garden during spring, summer, and fall, even winter. Do you dress your house up for parties? Take a few photos of entertaining spaces all decked out prior to your guests arriving. Don’t forget pets…if you have an asset that a pet would like, show them using that space too. Think of things like a cat perched in a window or a dog napping in a sunny spot on the deck. Do you live close to a Lakeshore? Pictures of water create strong emotion. As people tour your home with their Realtor, they try to imagine themselves in your space. Pictures can help buyers by expanding what they already see with visions of what the future in the home will hold.
Edit your images to a dozen or less of your best photos. If you have too many pictures it can be overwhelming. You may choose to have them laying out on your kitchen countertop for buyers to browse, load images into a digital picture frame, or create a simple pamphlet on your computer for anyone interested in taking one.
Strong images can be great persuaders. Make sure you have some on hand to entice buyers in putting an offer on your property.
