Photos can make or break your listing
Nov 2nd 11
Photos of Parker CO Homes Showcased in the MLS
We see it all the time. Amateur photos taken of homes that are listed in the MLS for sale. A good or bad photo can make or break your home sale. Being successful selling your home starts with a professional presentation.
Listing agents or brokers use these poor examples in their online marketing and offline print ads for the property. It’s a poor representation of the property and frankly something I would never have my name associated with.
I regularly see fliers in flyer boxes in front of the house stuffed full of fliers that have photos that are so bad I’m embarrassed for the seller.
Here’s an example of a poor lighting and not capturing the entire kitchen. The person that took these shots didn’t even take the time to turn the lights on in the kitchen. Not a very good presentation to the potential buyer and certainly not what a seller is expecting from their agent or broker selling the house.
Here is another example where the listing broker didn’t take the time to turn the lights on inside the room where they are taking the photo.They only shot half of the room and really dropped the ball here.
When a seller hires Steven Beam to sell their home we do it right.
I have a professional photographer that has been working for me and shooting all of my listings for the past 11 years. He knows the best angles to shoot a room and how to get the best lighting to showcase the room. The photos we use are high resolution and can be used for both print and online advertisements.
The next time you get ready to list your home for sale make sure the broker you hire has a professional photographer that can get the job done.
Many times you have only a few seconds to attract a buyers eye online before they eliminate your property from the ones they want to view. Don’t you think that having your home presented professionally with top notch photos is a bare minimum?
Here are a few more examples of high resolution professionally shot photos of my listings. This is how it should be done.
Another way I professionally market homes I list for sale in the MLS is by using professional videos with onscreen talent.
Here is an article about video and how it can be used.
Small rooms like the one just above deserve as much attention as the larger main rooms. Buyers want to see what the home has to offer so you better make it visible and beautiful.
If you would like to see what your home is worth fill out this questionnaire and I will call you today.

Home Buyers Use the Internet to Search for Homes.
Aug 28th 09
Home buyers are using the internet to search for homes and the proof is in the numbers. NAR or the National Association of Realtors has posted some pretty interesting numbers for internet use among home buyers.In NAR’s most recent survey of home buyers and home sellers they found that:
- Home buyer’s using the internet to search for homes = 87% which is up from 71% five years ago.
- Buyers who use the internet more frequently rose from 42% to 69% from just five years ago.
- Home buyers that use the net to search for homes say 87% relied on information from real estate brokers.
“What does this really mean you ask? If your Realtor doesn’t have a major internet presence in the area you are selling your home you better find one that does. The home buyers are on the internet so you better make sure your property is on the internet.”
An elevated online presence is a must when it comes to properly marketing homes for sale. Virtual tours are a great start but homes for sale videos and individual property SEO or search engine optimization are key. Buyers need to be able to find your property quickly and easily when they are looking in your area.
How do you know if your Parker Colorado real estate broker has a large online presence? Simple, Google the individual broker and the brokerage company to see if you can find them online. I suggest searching your neighborhood online to see who is activly marketing your neighborhood and keeps up with the stats for your neighborhood.
