Is a picture really worth 1,000 words? Why do pictures of your house matter so much on your listing?
According to the National Association of Realtors, 97.5% of home buyers start or complete part of their home search online. Buyers are deciding whether or not to look at your home when it’s listed sometimes based only on a few pictures.
So the pictures that an agent or their assistant took with their cell phone is not good enough. I have actually seen pictures with the picture-taker’s finger in them. That’s not photography.
Having one picture of the front and no other pictures is just not good enough. When a house is placed on the Multi-List System, it filters through hundreds of websites throughout the internet. And the first view people see of your house needs to be great and needs to offer more than a drive-by view of the front of the house. If they don’t like what they see, the potential buyer might not look at your listing again.
The first time they see your house for sale, it should have 25, 40, 50 pictures. Five or six pictures is not good enough. I recently saw a home listed on MLS in a higher price range that just had one picture and that was a screenshot of the Google Street View. A screenshot. What? That is not good enough. And that is just addressing the pictures.
Your home is worth great, professional pictures as well as professional videography. We include videography with drone footage above your home as part of our marketing for your home. People love to see this.
Putting your best foot forward the moment your home is listed is so important. When someone finds your home, whether through an agent or online, they’ll want to look at it in person. The completeness of your listing could cost you unnecessary time and may mean a difference of thousands of dollars.
We want you to have success when selling.
