In the February 2018 article written by Zillow writer Catherine Sherman, she gives 9 Listing Photo Do’s and Don’ts for agents to be watchful of when photographing their new property listing.
You have one chance at a great first impression — knock their socks off with listing photos that shine.
Your bags are packed, you’re ready to move and the last thing you want to do is follow your agent’s advice about putting time and money into your listing photos. But if you don’t, your photos could prevent the home from selling quickly.
Consider these nine do’s and don’ts to help your listing attract the attention it deserves.
1. Do: Take a shot from the curb. Don’t: Create a landslide.
2. Do: Welcome visitors. Don’t: Threaten visitors.
3. Do: Consider a bird’s-eye view. Don’t: Consider a fisheye lens.
4. Do: Capture your home’s selling points. Don’t: Capture yourself in the mirror.
5. Do: Stage each room. Don’t: Stage a mess.
6. Do: Play up the season. Don’t: Play up your holiday decor.
7. Do: Show off the view. Don’t: Show off your pets.
8. Do: Show off architectural details. Don’t: Show off architectural blunders.
9. Do: Take a night shot with the lights on. Don’t: Capture a dark room.
