Real Estate Photography Tips for Home Staging

November 30, 2013 (posted by Jennifer Campbell, Home Staging Calgary)

You’ve done the work to stage your property for sale so it appeals to potential buyers who visit. But they will probably view your listing online first. So it’s critical that your online curb appeal, presented primarily through photographs, draws the potential buyers in. Here are three real estate photography tips to help.
 
Real Estate Photography Trick #1: Open the front door – it symbolizes “welcome home”. It also helps to direct the eye to other areas of the space, creating interest.

Beautiful details in the door and flooring.

Real Estate Photography Trick #2: Use angles – try to take a photo of the full seating area, not just the back of chairs. It adds dimension, openness and a feeling of spaciousness.

Real Estate Photography Trick #3: Get plenty of floor and ceiling in the shot – it makes the room feel more spacious. Work with the direction of the flooring (in this case hardwood planks) to draw the eye upward.

The reality is that potential buyers will probably view your listing online first. So draw them in. Quality real estate photography combined with a professionally staged home will maximize the online curb appeal. When buyers feel positive about their first impression of your home, they’ll want to get inside for a viewing. That gets you one step closer to “sold”.
