Exterior Pictures: Photos of the outside of your home are equally important. They can make or break a sale; if they’re high quality, they can provide the bait you need to garner the interest of prospective buyers, who will then show interest in seeing the inside. When taking pictures of your home’s exterior, make sure you have the following areas covered: • Lawncare: Whether you do it yourself or hire someone else, give your lawn a clean, close cut. Take care of stubborn weeds and extra grass along pathways, the house, and around trees. Don’t forget to trim any bushes. • Landscape: You don’t have to have a green thumb to improve the look of your yard. Up your landscaping game by planting a variety of colorful flowers, adding some red cedar chips, and installing some small LED lights along any pathways or outdoor trim. • Wash: Hose down your home, clean the windows and gutters, and sweep the driveway and pathways. Have strategic photos taken from different angles to showcase all the highlights of your home’s exterior. Aerial views of your home will make it stand out from all of the other homes buyers are viewing online. Find a photographer who specializes in drone photography to achieve these images.
