    Make Your Property Listing Photos Stand Out

    You know those listing photos that stop you scrolling and make you go ‘WOW’ – those are the kind of photos that differentiate your listings and your agency.

    It doesn’t have to cost a fortune to create this effect either, here are three tips that can help you get that wow factor from clients and buyers.

    1. Aerial, Drone and Elevated Shots

    For high-value properties where you are using a professional photographer, these can be a great way to make sure your listing stands out from the rest.

    2. Dusk Shots and Blue Skies

    Dusk shots and blue skies can easily transform drab property photos. This is a simple but cost-effective way to make your listings jump out at readers.

    3. Object Removal


    Going above and beyond by taking 30 seconds to remove some pesky bins or rubbish can make a huge difference to your property photos. A cleaner, clutter-free image can be make or break between a new lead or a slower sale.

    Video content is becoming increasingly common in the world of property listings, with most portals now offering options for video upload.

    it’s not a necessity, but it can be a great way to help potential buyers get a better feel for the property you’re listing.

    Listings with video get higher engagement and are more trusted. Plus, it may positively impact your listing’s SEO.

    :

    • Virtual Tours – help buyers get a feel for the flow of a property. You could include a voiceover or just film a walkthrough.
