✔️ The better your preparation, the better your images.

✔️ Hire a Professional Photographer. Agents tend not to be professional photographers especially if they use an iPhone to take photos. Don’t scrimp on the cost. Professional photos are the key to marketing and selling the home.

✔️ Move cars, bins, toys and any rubbish out of the external shot.

✔️ Open curtains and internal doors to increase light into the room.

✔️ Turn the TV off to keep the shot free of unwanted distractions.

✔️ Take pets out to avoid capturing them in shots.

✔️ Use a mix of photo media. Virtual tours will better qualify potential buyers. Video lets buyers see themselves living in the house to increase the likelihood of a request to view.

✔️ Take a photo to emphasize each room’s individual selling point.

✔️ Work around the weather. Blue sky and additional lighting can be added when editing the photos.

✔️ Use coloured objects to make photos stand out e.g. cushions, artwork, flowers

✔️ Take shots during the “Magic Hour” at dusk to create effect.

✔️ Turn on all the lights in the house before you start shooting.

✔️ Don’t use flash. It can cause shadows, and degrade the natural look of the image.
