The right photos can make or break your home sale

September 14, 2019

Preparing your home for photographs

There’s a lot that goes into successfully selling your home, from listing at the right time to hiring the right agent. But there’s one asset you might not have thought of that can make or break your home sale — and that’s the right photos.

A recent article in the Washington Post explored the importance of photos in the home selling process, and the results were astounding.

The article, which examined data from various real estate sources (including the National Association of Realtors®, Trulia, Redfin, and real estate photography company VHT), found that 87 percent of buyers relied on photos to help them make a decision on a home, and 84 percent of buyers wouldn’t even consider a property that didn’t have listing photos.

While any photos are better than no photos at all, the most benefit comes from professional home photos; professionally photographed homes sell 32 percent faster — and demand as much as 47 percent higher asking price per square foot — than listings without professional photos.

In summary, If you’ve been thinking about listing your home, photos are a non-negotiable. And if you want your home to sell quickly (and profitably!), you should definitely consider hiring a Realtor® (like Russ Fortuno) who always uses a professional photographer to capture the perfect shots.

TESTIMONIALS

"Fair, reliable, professional and a pleasant person to work with. Would not hesitate to recommend. All aspects of the sale were very professional. The materials to publicize the house were well done as were the photos. Russ’s familiarity with Quality Creek and the market were up to date and reliable. His manner was low key and very responsive. Easy to work with. Very helpful in staging the house. Excellent in all respects. Overall, a very easy person to work with and always professional."
- Joan H., Quail Creek
"We had a great experience working with Russ Fortuno. After having a less than ideal experience with another real estate agent, we chose Russ to sell our home. We were very happy with his knowledge of the real estate market in our community of Quail Creek. He was very professional, and he never gave us unrealistic expectations. Russ was attentive to detail whether it be answering all our questions or having our house look perfect for photos. He was there for us until our house closed and we could not be more thankful for all his help and expertise."
- Sandra M., Quail Creek
"Experience counts! Selling a home is a complicated transaction with no room for error … Russ is the expert you need that will guide the seller thru the process step by step and steer you clear of any pitfalls. Russ knows the market, and the area, which is invaluable to the seller. Having sold many homes we wish Russ had been there for all of them … you can’t put a price on experience with this complicated a transaction. If you list with Russ, start packing — he does everything else for you. Thank you Russ!"
- Anna C., Quail Creek
