GO PROFESSIONAL
The decision to use a professional photographer is an easy one. Most real estate agencies will cover the cost of professional photos for your listing. Most Realtors® agree that photos taken by a professional are more likely to sell a house more quickly. The difference in home-selling success rates between homes photographed by amateurs and those photographed by professionals is astounding. Having professional photos also increased the salability of the home, with 10% of the homes selling at or above the listing price 44% of the time. Potential buyers want quality, high-resolution photos when they shop online. Current trends in visual media demand it, and so do buyers. Finding a home is all about making an emotional connection for younger buyers, much like their music and movies. You are basically marketing your home directly to buyers with an online photo presentation. You need to wow them, and statistics show that high-quality photos can do just that.
