Photo by ohiorealtors.org

With most buyers shopping for a new home on the internet first (realtor.com, Zillow, real estate sites, etc.), it’s so important for listing photos to be beautiful, accurate and enticing. Let’s look at this realtor.com article that lists 7 tips for sellers to post the best listing photos possible.

1. Avoid Amateur Phone Photos. That’s why Neighborhood Realty hires professional photographers for our sellers.

2. Don’t Put Too Many Filters on Photos. It’s fine to turn up the brightness or decrease shadows, but manipulated photos can lead to mistrust.

3. Skip the Wide Angles. Amateur photographers try to use photo apps that can distort the photos. Professional photographers know how to make the room or rooms actually look like the room.

4. More Light. The best photos have the best natural light.

5. Keep People (and Pets) Out of the Photos.

6. Clean the Space. Make sure your home is decluttered before the photo shoot.

7. Put the Lid Down. Don’t forget to put the toilet lid down before taking that bathroom photo.
