When it comes to home sales, looks do matter.
Once a home comes onto the market, how soon it moves can depend on
its location, design, quality of construction—not to mention how well it’s been
maintained, the neighborhood, school district…it’s the sum of at least a dozen
contributing factors. But when it comes to home sales, looks now matter
more than ever before. Making sure a home is camera-ready could well be the
most important single thing a homeowner can do before listing a house for sale
in Rancho Cucamonga this fall.
It’s in the Numbers
The 2013 National Association of Realtors® survey found
that a decisive 92% of all home buyers use the web to search for a home. That’s
more than just a coup for your computer, it also points to something vital for
area home sales—something sellers can’t afford to ignore. Unlike previous
generations of home buyers, the attention span of today’s online audience is
miniscule. With comps (comparable listings: the competition) just a mouse click
away, the success of home sales is directly influenced by how eye-catching its
online presentation is…whether it has what the ad industry calls ‘pop!’
Accentuate the ‘Good Sides’
Successful film stars and fashion models leave nothing to chance
when it comes to photography. They know which angles accentuate their good
sides. Likewise, photos that spur home sales don’t just show living room,
bedrooms, kitchen, etc.—they highlight the most interesting features in ways
designed to draw the viewer’s eye. For example, if a splendid dining room has
to compete with a blazing sun during the day, it’s bound to be better shot at
night. Ditto, any room with a sparkling chandelier. As for the exterior, if the
siding is unremarkable but the new roof is gorgeous, angling the picture to
emphasize the positive makes visual sense.
Up Close & Impersonal
Buying a home may be an intensely personal affair, but when
selling one, photos are not the place to showcase a favorite collection or
kids’ sports trophies. Make an effort to remove very personal objects before
photography begins. One key to home sales is to transform your space
(not too appealing to potential buyers) into a place they can easily envision
being their own.
Cleaning Counts
In this era of high-res photography and lickety-split download
times, a sparkling clean house is the mandatory starting point. Double-check
that the house is devoid of dirt, stains, and even dust that might pick up the
light. Although most small blemishes can be removed in editing, the less
retouching that’s needed, the more natural-looking the result will be.
It’s important, for sure; but there’s no need to freak out about
the photography. With an experienced real estate agent as your home sales
advisor, you’re sure to snap a series of appealing shots that makes your
listing stand out from the crowd.
