The need for a quality photographs when selling your Kapiti Property.
“Not many real estate agents are photographers” says Paul Scrimshaw, leading real estate Agent For Tommy’s Real Estate on the Kapiti Coast “and less still possess a quality camera with versatile lens and associated software to enhance photographs”.
There are millions of property photographs on real estate web sites and when you only have a picture working for you, it needs to be the best you can get. Some useful tips are:
- Internal shots looking to outside the house need multiple shots cut and pasted to be of marketing value.
- The sky should be blue.
- Staged shots are critical when using 1/2 page and full page advertisements as are shots of higher resolution to avoid pixels showing.
- Pictures taken of a house in shade do nothing to promote the property.
- Driveways and fences are rarely the most appealing feature.
- Remove clutter from rooms and the garden before taking your pictures.
- Invest in a professional real estate photographer. They make your marketing investment of greater value. It’s the first stage in your marketing programme.
