2 Proven Ways to Sell Your Home Faster and for More Money
Our advice to home sellers is to be sure your real estate agent's services include a home staging professional AND professional photgraphy
When it comes to online real estate listing photos, homes with professional interior photos sold a lot faster than those that didn’t have an expert behind the listing photos. In fact, studies show those listings that used professional photography sold 32 percent faster than the others, and that matches our own experience.
And we think professional real estate photographs are not just for mansions and estates! Professional photographs are more likely to attract buyers in all price ranges. Last year, a joint report by Google and the National Association of Realtors found that online real estate searches on Google went up 243 percent in the past four years. A buyer’s home search has turned digital, and we find they choose not to see homes that are not well presented online.
Even the best photos, however, will be in vain if the original product is not pretty to look at, so we provide the services of a professional home stager to our sellers. Why?

A 2015 survey of nearly 50,000 Realtors asked: Do you think home staging has an impact on Buyers?
– 47% responded ‘For some buyers, but not always.’
– 49% responded ‘Yes, for most buyers’
– 4% responded ‘no, it has no impact on buyers’
We’re going to go with what works to sell our clients’ homes the fastest, and for the highest price, thanks! Not only are buyers more willing to go tour a staged home (they’re already shopping online, remember), but the studies agree with our experience that buyers are more willing to overlook ‘faults’ in a home when it shows well.Pretty amazing, huh?
