What makes a successful Real Estate photo session?

1. Include one great picture of the immediate neighborhood. Location is important to buyers. You want to give them a good impression. 

2. In addition to the traditional straight on, purely functional picture from the front yard, Add at least one architectural picture that will show the character of the house.  

3. Capturing the inside is all about having a balance of light. While it's technically possible to recreate images that block outside light, a photo that lets some light to come in allows the prospective buyer to see that the house gets natural light, while still giving some impression of what is outside!

4. When you have a beautiful view, capture it from inside. Prospective buyers will know that it's the real thing.

5. People invest a lot in bathrooms. In addition to a general shot, showing a detail or two of a nice master bath will attract the buyer's attention.

6. Bedroom images should be simple, and functional, showing the space. The buyer will likely give the rooms a very different look, with a different bed etc.

7. Have an open door policy. A photo with the front door open will make the house more welcoming!
