First impressions mean everything in life. They’re what stick in your memory, whether it’s the first impression of a stranger, new job, or indeed, a property, they’re what push you to make a quick, initial assumption that can affect your final decision. Maybe you don’t like the opinions of your new workmate, or your new job definitely isn’t what you thought it would be, thanks to your first impression, you’ll make a decision there and then.

This also applies to when you sell your property, you have to think like the buyer. Picture yourself scrolling through reels of different properties online, what is it that catches your eye first? It’s most likely not the street name, it probably isn’t the date it was listed on the website. No, what grabs your attention is the initial image you’re given of your potential new home. You’re going to look at what’s most aesthetically appealing to you, bright lighting, airy spaces, a clean and nicely decorated interior, or a well-presented garden. Your first impression of that building will heighten your curiosity to look further into it. So, what am I getting at? Property photography. If you are serious about selling your property, it would be wise to invest in a professional photographer to ensure your property is captured in its best light. Once the potential buyer has had a glimpse at your beautifully presented estate, it will entice them to come and take a look up close by booking a viewing. In the competitive property market, you need to guarantee your property stands out from the rest, which is easily achievable if you’ve hired a professional photographer to present it in a desirable way, using high tech professional equipment and special techniques.

You can also assist the photographer with little tips to make your home look its best. Think show home; you can set the dining table, add some extra throw cushions to the sofa and include some fresh blooms to add a splash of color. Ensure your home is clean and clutter-free, removing personal items that cause the space to be a bit busy. Remember as a potential buyer, you want to find a space that looks liveable for you, not the current family living there.
