4) From “too many photos of a given space” to “just the right amount of photos for a given space”

So we are over the hump in this series of articles. We are now on problem #4 “Too many photos of a given space.” Keep in mind, this topic could be looked at as subjective. This opinion comes from my perspective as a consumer who has looked at hundreds of listings in search of a house that has what I’m looking for. So here we go.

Ok, listen. If you have an average size home to list, you do not “need” sixty, yes 6-0, photos of that home. I’ve thought a lot about this and I really can’t see that “ever” being necessary. Unfortunately, I have seen this many times. And in those times, I have found myself after five photos, or more, of the same space saying, “enough of the kitchen already, I get it,” or “enough of the pool, it’s nice, let’s move on.” There is no need to take a photo from every angle of a space/room. All you’re going to do is confuse or bore the potential buyer. Believe it or not, this is one time where a little goes a long way.

 
With that said, the final photos you use need to accurately and completely represent the home. You’ll want to show good spatial perspective and overlap to help identify the floor plan layout as well. And that is what I will provide you. With your goal being to sell a home, my goal is to give you photos of every space, giving the buyer a feel for the home and how it will work, or play, best for them. Enlist me to your team and I will help you sell that house! 602-809-7710 Michelle
