When it comes to selling a home, the first impression is crucial. Many home buyers begin their search online, scrolling through listing after listing. In a crowded market, you want your home to stand out. That's why it's essential to have professional photos taken when listing your home for sale. In this blog post, we'll explore the importance of professional photos when selling a home.

  1. First impressions matter As mentioned earlier, the first impression is crucial. Professional photos can make your home look more inviting, attractive, and spacious. When potential buyers see your home online, they will form an opinion about it in just a few seconds. If your home's photos are unprofessional, low-quality, or poorly lit, it could turn off buyers, and they might not even consider scheduling a showing.

  2. Professional photos showcase your home's best features A professional photographer knows how to highlight your home's best features. They know how to capture the essence of each room, how to use lighting to create ambiance, and how to make small spaces look bigger. They can also use techniques like HDR (High Dynamic Range) to capture the range of colors and tones in your home, making it look more vibrant and appealing.

  3. Professional photos can attract more buyers When you list your home for sale, you want to attract as many buyers as possible. Professional photos can help you do that. According to a study by Redfin, homes with professional photos sell faster and for more money than homes with amateur photos. In fact, homes with professional photos receive an average of 61% more views than homes with amateur photos.

  4. Professional photos can help you sell your home faster Not only do professional photos attract more buyers, but they can also help you sell your home faster. According to a study by the National Association of Realtors, homes with professional photos sell 32% faster than homes with amateur photos. When you're trying to sell your home, time is of the essence. The faster you sell your home, the less time and money you'll have to spend on carrying costs like mortgage payments, utilities, and maintenance.

In conclusion, professional photos are essential when listing a home for sale. They can make a significant impact on how quickly your home sells and for how much. Professional photos can showcase your home's best features, attract more buyers, and make a great first impression. This is why we include professional photography as a standard with every Turner Victory Team listing
