When it comes to selling your home for the highest amount possible, assembling the perfect team is crucial. Real Estate Agent, Home Stager and the subject of today’s article: Professional Photographer. We’ve all seen those grainy, poorly framed, and dimly lit photos that leave us squinting to decipher rooms. And that’s where professional real estate photography swoops in to save the day! Cara Bergmann, an agent that Foxy works closely with, sent us the professional shots that her photographer Chrispin got, so we can play a little game of comparing and contrasting.

Our stylists take photos at the end of every install, which is what we’ll compare to the professional shots. But it’s important to note that when we’re taking pictures at installs, the goal is not for the perfect photo. Our photos are to ensure we know what stock is at each property. So we aren’t judging our superstar stylists’ shots, but rather showcasing the importance of a professional eye! So without further ado, let’s explore why professional photography is a game-changer.

Every successful campaign needs an A team. And we know this A team involves a great home stager. Because an established home stager uses their expertise in market trends, knowledge of local demographics and understanding of current style choices to market the property to the right people. They understand trends and colours that will work in conjunction with the specific property ensuring it photographs well and is appealing to the right prospective buyers. And while home staging is crucial in creating an attractive setting, we mustn’t underestimate the incredible value a professional photographer brings to the table!

A talented photographer knows how to showcase your property’s best features, creating visually stunning images that resonate with potential buyers. And these images go beyond mere representations of rooms; they embody the essence of your home, evoking emotions and sparking interest. Often, homebuyers make decisions based on emotions, and professional photography has the power to evoke positive feelings. So, professional photography sets your home apart from the competition and leaves a lasting impression. In the competitive world of real estate, a professional photographer can be the secret ingredient that sets your listing apart. And by drawing in more leads, professional photography increases the likelihood of a successful sale!

Your home’s first impression is often online listing photos, and we know it’s crucial to make it a lasting one. Amateur photographers might lack the technical expertise to showcase your property’s finest features accurately. Blurry images, odd angles, and cluttered backgrounds can instantly turn off potential buyers, leaving them scrolling to the next listing. While on the contrary, professional real estate photographers have a trained eye for composition and lighting. And they know how to present your home in the best possible way, capturing its essence and making it irresistibly appealing. With high-definition images, balanced colours, and expertly framed shots professional photography breathes life into your property, drawing buyers in for a closer look.

So, as you compare side-by-side photos from our stylists and professional photography the difference is undeniable! Investing in professional photography is an investment in your home’s future, increasing its appeal, attracting more potential buyers, and potentially even driving up its value. So, if you’re gearing up to sell, don’t skimp on the photography aspect. Entrust your home to the hands of a pro and let their expertise work some magic! A picture-perfect home awaits its new owner, and with professional photography, you’re one step closer to making that dream a reality.
