I LOVE when sellers include a floorplan it makes the house make sense in a way that pictures can't.

[JGirl.]

I am back in the market house hunting and you are correct. The first showing is those photos. I go through every photo as a buyer and I cannot believe how many homes barely have beds made. I saw one bathroom counter covered with bottles of hair and body products. Kitchen counters cluttered and what this tells a potential buyer is if you cant at least declutter and organize your home, how well did you care for the other maintenance things on a house. Most likely not so I take those homes off my list to view. Even a little effort is worth getting a buyer into your home.

Kati, All you do is top-notch. Thank you for sharing, no one ever tells you how you can help yourself, and help your agent.Thanks!

Great demonstration of the way photos are themselves staging and the importance of angles. I like the way you explain this and agree the photos that show the movement to the next area are very appealing.

[adriaba]

Excellent tips Kati, but No 6 is priceless...the angle of the fotos is SO important, it makes a huge difference when you UNDERSTAND the rooms and the flow! Thank you and Happy New Year!!! 🎉

I’ve seen pictures that I had to send to my daughter to see so that we could laugh at. The baby standing on the couch with a full baby diaper and no clothes was the funniest. When I buy, I prefer an empty house, maybe because I know the sellers will be more motivated and all the flaws are exposed, but I have a great imagination.

[bigworld]

You are awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom to empower us 🙏💖✨

[vivian]

What is your take on virtual staging for listing photos? I don’t mind it, especially if a photo of the empty room is also included and the virtual staging is disclosed in the listing, but I’m curious about how realtors see this trend.

[FuzzyDogFosterMom]

I have seen so many listings with messy rooms, dirty rooms, etc and homes where the listing agent took the photos with a cell phone. Gah!

[shirinhapp]

Make sure staging company does not put old smelly moldy furniture in your house, it happened to us and momentum was gone.

[VVFFTTAA]

Wanted to use an agent in our area who sells a lot of homes. But then she says she doesn't do open houses and takes her own photos. She said why pay someone to do it on their iPhone when she could do the same? Then I looked at the photos on her listings and they are bad. Like, really???

[privateinfo]

I once saw a picture on MLS that had a cat lying on the bed! The cat was in the center of the picture. I wouldn't want to buy a house with animals.

The Realtor pays a professional photographer about $800 (including exterior drone pictures).
