Better images qualify your home for additional media exposure, more impactful marketing collateral, higher placement on listing syndication websites and increased views online. Buyers are increasingly judging homes by a photo, and bad listing photos may cost you not only a showing, but possibly a higher sales price. This is why we insist on using a professional photographer with a proven track record.

Before the days of the Internet and online real estate listings, a buyer’s first impression of a new home for sale was often the “drive by”; or, if a buyer was just starting to look, he or she would read a brief description of the home in the Sunday paper and decide whether or not to attend that day’s open house.

Today, buyers are busier than ever and may not have the opportunity to do a drive by (unless they are seriously interested). Instead, the first impression buyers most often get of a home is from the photos in the MLS listing, which they may receive as an email from their agent, or the online listing.

With limited time and countless listings to review, buyers will quickly move on if photos do not represent a property properly. We believe that a picture is worth a thousand words when we market your home. But it is not just having a photo that is important. It is having many quality photos that showcase all of the reasons why you love this home.

The opposite is also true. Having poor quality photos can have a negative impact on your financial outcome. That is why it is important to make sure that you hire the right representative who understands the importance. 

Mega Realty professionals are trained to assess your property, both inside and out, for ways it can be showcased in the best possible light and ultimately sell for a higher price. Home sellers see a sale price increase of usually 10-33% after staging their home; AND it makes those photos even more glamorous! 

• Why does it matter? Effective exposure starts with what is entered into the MLS.

• If poor, incomplete, or misinformation is entered into the MLS, that is how it will appear across all of the online syndication websites, potentially preventing the listing to not even show up in search results when buyers complete searches for properties that actually match the client’s criteria. This results in little to no exposure, and ultimately no buyer inquiries.

We will guarantee not to allow these types of mistakes to happen to your home because we know the impact it will have on exposure and reaching qualified buyers.
