How to properly photograph your property

A good photograph can play a key role in the tenant's decision, as it is their first contact with the prospective property.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Having decided to proceed with the rental of your apartment, you need to carry out a successful photography of your property.
A property advertisement without any photos will not gain much popularity, nor will it attract the interest of the candidates.

The photo alone, of course, is not enough. Landlords now understand the essential role of showing their property and try by all means to attract interested tenants.

There is a way to make certain photos stand out from the others. Ads with thoughtful, professional photography can attract more people and achieve their goal faster.

This entails avoiding the following common mistakes and adopting some tips for greater success:

Mobile photography

As clear and "crystal clear" photos as modern mobile phones can take, they have not been able to replace professional cameras.

The resolution, stabilization and size of the photos recommend a higher quality result, compared to a mobile phone shot.

Preview Light

You don't decide an any time of the day to photograph the place because you are facilitated because of a schedule. The first impression of the property, through the photographs, should be the best possible depiction of it.

The property should look bright, clean and bright. This is the only way it can look most attractive.
A photographer has the ability to bring out the size of a space and emphasize the contrasts of colors. With the right tricks, he can hide or show off different parts of the property.

Crowded spaces

A space full of things can be a problem, as there is a possibility of showing a messier side of the space due to the placement of furniture and things.

No tenant wants to face the image of an unpacked, dirty property with lots of unnecessary items in the space when they are looking for their next home, let alone trying to imagine their life in that particular home.
Prepare your space before the shoot. Tidy up the main areas, clean the surfaces, sink and toilet and remove all dirty utensils that are in your radius. Photos will process much faster after these minor changes.
A professional photographer knows how to easily and quickly set up his "frame" when there are no personal items around and turn the property into an attractive one through his art.

Professional photography

Professional property photography is now essential for marketing and promoting properties in the market.
The property gains more value. Nothing compares to the staging and presentation of a property by a professional photographer.

The result will be impressive and will increase the value of your property.
Only a professional photographer knows exactly how to achieve the best possible result in a very competitive market.

A professional photographer can offer value and prestige to both sellers and prospective buyers through their work, as their photographs will have the impressive effect that both are looking for.

Your property will stand out in the list of properties from the first visual contact the user has. The qualified professional sellers make sure that the property is professionally 'set up' internally, so that it is properly displayed and therefore brings the desired results.

The biggest and most coveted action is the immediate rental and sale of the property. History has shown that listings with professional photographs perform faster compared to listings featuring amateur photographs.

Abstraction

Expert photographers and industry professionals know that it is much easier for a prospective tenant to imagine themselves in your property when there are no personal items around.

Few items enhance the aesthetics of the room, making it look more appealing to the eye.

As long as the space is ready to be put up for sale/rent, there is no need to have your personal belongings and furniture in the picture. In case the property is ready for assignment, along with furniture and appliances, it is necessary to find a way to display them. The professional photographer, knows exactly the demanding set up of the space.
