Your First Showing is Online!
July 25, 2009 by Fred Romano · Leave a Comment
Let’s talk about your first showing… With today’s buyers, your first showing is absolutely online so make sure your photos make a great first impression.
Here’s what to do:
- Use a higher resolution camera with powerful flash
- Lighting is critical – Turn all lights on even if you’re taking photos during the daytime
- Use a “wide-angle” lens. I use the Kodak V570 and it works great!
- Take a photo “tour” of your home to show online buyers around the place
- Don’t bother with virtual tours or videos – Photos are the best
