The purpose of the effort involved in selling a home for people astute enough to do so is to get more money in selling it, and thus increase profit. Your entire focus needs to be on making that sale, with an eye to maximizing its attractiveness potential. Plentiful, good-quality photographs play a major role in doing that and then nailing the sale. An excellent photo representation provides a competitive edge over other sellers who don’t dedicate much effort to pictorially showcasing their property. Ask yourself: If you were looking for a new home and there were only two for sale that would fit your needs, which seller would you trust more: one who posted obviously amateur pictures showing dishes in the sink or the one who’s pictures created an environment of a pristine lifestyle? The answer is obviously the latter. You want to build up your credibility as a serious seller and the buyer’s confidence in your home’s quality by putting in the extra effort? You can show off your pristine lifestyle and build up the buyer’s perception of your home by putting in extra effort. Winners in every category of life are ones who put out the most effort.
