Seasonal Pictures

September 24, 2007

I was driving yesterday, and noticed a lot of yards are showing yellow grass from dry weather and it hit me that autumn is right around the corner.  Then, it hit me about the importance of pictures for showing properties on internet and in brochures.  Sellers should be aware of this importance. 

If you are thinking about selling in the near future, and you have a property that has a lot of character in a particular or even in different seasons, you need to capture that ahead of time.  Help your realtor out with seasonal pictures (preferably digital) of the “colorful” highlights of your property.  Placing the camera in the same place showing all four seasons is a powerful tool in the right setting!   Green foliage always shows better than winter leafless trees.  However on occasion, leafless trees do allow you to see through them to the improvements better.
 
The same goes for swimming pools.  A bright, clean, clear pool is 200% better than a pool cover, and 400% better than green water!  Ponds have the same effect with water level and an iced over pond can make for an awesome picture.   
Something to keep in mind if you are considering selling a property in the near future.  The most important part is listing with Jeff Lange Real Estate though! All for now!  Looking to hear from you!
