Why have profession pictures ...
We live in a visual age where people want to see
before the touch... Images of the home you are selling can do more
to promote you and your clients than most anything else you can do...
Additionally, the pictures of house you just sold make a great gift to
the the new owner, even if they were not your client, they might be in
the future...
Below is a great story on the value of having professional photographs
of your home for sale...
From Yahoo.com...
TA study conducted by a Real Estate web site
Fizber.com found that property pictures that are poor or
less-than-flattering can turn buyers off, leading to fewer leads and
offers.
Miami Beach, FL (PRWEB) May 5, 2008 -- "Location, location, location" is
the common catch phrase when buying a house. "Photography, photography,
photography" will soon be the new advice when selling. Fizber.com, a
for-sale-by-owner website, conducted a study monitoring listings over a
30-day period which clearly showed that pictures that are poor or
less-than-flattering can turn buyers off, leading to fewer leads and
offers.
According to these findings, properties which feature just one photo
generated approximately three views and two leads, while listings
displaying 20 or more images received over 62 views and close to 15
leads. And listings with fewer photos sold for less. The closed NET
price as a percentage of the original price also showed a direct
correlation. These findings are based on 2007 numbers and are again
estimates.
- 1 Photo = 86% of Original Price
- 10 or more = 93% of Original Price
Another study relating to the number of photos a listing posts compares
photos to the number of days on market (DOM). The findings show that
listings with more photos sold faster. This is the shake down on the
photos to days on market (average) analysis.
- 1 photo = 80 DOM
- 16-19 photos = 42 DOM
- 20+ photos = 30 DOM
In real estate, the number of pictures accompanying a listing can be
worth thousands of dollars. A $300,000 home, sporting only one photo,
could sell for as much as 3.8% less or a loss of over $11,000, just
because there was only one photo accompanying the listing. More amazing
is the fact that only 12% of sellers posted the maximum 20 photos.
