From
The New York Times, February 11, 2007:
"In
real estate, a picture can be worth more than a thousand words. Much, much
more. The pictures buyers see are often the first — and sometimes the only —
chance for a seller to make a good impression. Less-than-flattering pictures
can turn buyers off and lead to lonely open houses.
Good photos will grab people’s attention and help you sell a home. Bad
pictures will absolutely give you trouble, because you won’t have any calls
on it.
Eighty percent of people across the country who bought a new home last year
used the Internet while house hunting, and they rated photographs as the
most useful tool in their search, according to a survey of buyers and
sellers by the National Association of Realtors. The survey also found that
24 percent of home buyers got their first glimpses of their new homes on the
Web.
if things look shoddy or unprofessional, not only are buyers going to find
the property unappealing, they’re going to associate you with being shoddy
and unprofessional.”
