Pictures make a difference

Anyone who has been searching online knows the truth in this - pictures matter. We've all seen the terrible house photos: pictures of a bedrooms showing only the bed (Hey, nice linens!), or pictures of the bathroom with the toilet seat up (Gross. Seriously.), or pictures that are blurred, or pictures where you can see that the Realtor(R) rolled up in his car, leaned out the window, and snapped a picture of the front of the house.

Your pictures should invite people into your home. They should look professional and be taken at angles that tell a story about the room they depict. You should be able to figure out where the rooms are in relation to each other by the pictures. Instead of the a picture of the living room couch, the dining room table, and the kitchen stove, you should have a picture of the entire kitchen, with a hint of the eating area in the background. The eating area should show a hint of the adjacent living room, etc.

Even better, offer Buyers a virtual tour of the home. Here is an example of a virtual tour:
