Your home may have all the bells and whistles. It could truly be perfect for a tenant out there. You could end their search in a millisecond. And, on the flip side, you could conserve days – perhaps months – of your precious time and energy waiting for your property to rent.
But, if a listing’s photos are not up to par, it ain’t happening. Period.
We’ve seen it time and time again. Folks will come to us feeling pretty darn defeated. They have a beautiful property and just don’t understand what went wrong or why no one will sign on the dotted line to be a tenant.
In many of these cases, it truly does boil down to photos. In some instances, they simply aren’t professional – they are wildly blurry, taken with minimal care or even taken with a flip-phone (remember those?).
In an Instagram-loving, pristine photo-adoring world, it is so, so important to be on your photo a-game. And sometimes even a nice smartphone photo won’t do to push your property over the edge.
You need professional photos. There are plenty of surveys and stats you can Google out there to back this up. Among them, homes with professional real estate photography sell 32% faster than those without ‘em.
We get it – taking professional photos can be expensive and/or quite time-consuming, particularly when you are flying solo.
Just like so many other aspects of property management, an easy solution is turning to a property management company for help. At Arlington Realty Property Management, professional photography is included in every single listing package.
So, if you’re stressed and your gem of a property isn’t moving, let’s get moving together. We can start with making it look its prettiest.
