These days, most buyers will first see your home online, making high-quality photos essential. According to the National Association of Realtors, 89% of agents agree that professional photos are critical to marketing a listing. Depending on your home and market, you may also benefit from marketing your property with videos, virtual tours, and even virtual staging, where photo editors swap out furniture and colors to show how your home would look with different decor. Talk to your agent about what makes sense for your situation, and work with them to hire professionals who can capture your staged home in its best light. When it comes time, treat the photo shoot like an open house—everything should be spotless, well-lit, and arranged to show off your home’s best features.
