It’s a pretty well-known fact that if you’re selling your home, you’ll need photos in order to market it. However, taking photos with your phone will lead to a sub-par representation of your home online. Using professional photos, on the other hand, will benefit you in many ways. Whether you have a $15,000 listing or a $1.5 million listing, professional photos are key to your marketing strategy. In fact, 92% of buyers start their home searches online, so their first impression of your house will come from the photos. You’ve probably seen smartphone photos of homes online. They make the property look dark, dirty, and fail to highlight the best features of a home. Professional photos are going to draw the buyer’s eye to your listing. If they are looking at 10 homes online and your home is the only one with professional photos, I guarantee they are going to come look at your home first.
