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

"Excellent service, he sold the house in 2 days. I will definitely recommend him. He’s so easy to work with and very knowledgeable of the area. "
- D.K., Green Valley AZ
"My experience with Russ selling my mom’s house for us was great. I’m in northern Idaho and he dealt with everything for me with out me having to go to Green Valley. I feel he went above and beyond the call of duty. I not only recommend him, I am going to use him to sell mom’s other house. THANKS, Russ."
- B.M., Bonners Ferry ID
"Russ has done excellent work for us. I have purchased several homes over the years and he is the best I have worked with. We chose Russ on a recommendation from a family member. He didn’t try to sell us on him or his firm. No “fluff talk”, pestering, unnecessary calls, emails or text. Instead, he showed us properties we were interested in and some that we were not aware of. Never felt the least bit of pressure. He was very patient, pleasant and responsive. He has a very relaxed yet professional style. He explained everything in a manner that was easy to understand and we felt very secure throughout the process. He is the best ever. In our mind he is the gold standard of what a Realtor should be."
- N.L., Green Valley AZ
