I was looking through some photos I have of a condo I have listed in Playa Del Rey and saw a few pictures of the same thing......but with different cameras. With your potential buyers looking online and photos probably doing more to get them interested than anything else pictures are of vital importance these days and yet I still see so many listings with pictures of a plant, or some cluttered corner of the house. Using a good camera, or a professional photographer for certain homes, can make all the difference between getting interest in your listing or having it be just another home on the market.
Neither picture above are bad, but certainly the picture on the right makes the room look bigger, brighter and has a much warmer tone.
The same goes for the guest bedroom in which the picture taken on the pocket digital camera makes the room look small and dark while the picture on the right looks brighter, warmer and certainly more spacious (I would have liked to move the desk out of the way but you can't always do it all)
If you were online and looking at pictures of homes....which home would you be more interested in seeing?
