You listed your home with a top Los Angeles Realtor, and now it’s time for the professional photo shoot. Pictures are generally the first thing potential buyers look at when viewing a listing. And as such, you want to be certain to get the very best photos of your property possible, and that includes the best photos of your home’s exterior.
But how, exactly, do you get the kind of exterior photos that will draw buyers to your home and, ultimately, help you sell your home at the highest possible price? A recent article from realtor.com outlined tips on how to snap the best exterior listing photos, including:
• Make sure your landscaping is up to par. You want your entire property to look amazing, including your landscaping. Before your photo shoot, consider hiring a landscaping company to clean, mulch, and generally spruce things up. Or, if a landscaper is out of the budget, do what you can to clean up the yard yourself. On the day of the photo shoot, remove any leaves from the lawn.
• Keep it clean and clutter-free. Just like with staging the interior of your home, you want to make sure that the exterior of your home is clean and clutter-free. Remove any vehicles, bicycles, or other items from the driveway or yard. Make certain that the exterior of your home is free from any debris or clutter.
• Stage outdoor areas. When potential buyers view your listing, you want them to be able to picture themselves living in and enjoying your home, including your outdoor spaces. To do that, make sure to stage any outdoor areas. For example, the porch or patio with some outdoor furniture.
