You already know that the virtual staging service can provide you with the best opportunity to sell your house. What you should next pay attention to is what kind of photography will grasp the whole attention of your potential buyers. You need a shot so perfect taken just at the right time and showing all the advantages of the house you are selling.

Virtual Staging Service

Mind the Angle

In order for the listing to be perfectly showcased by one photo, you should find the best place to snap the hero shot. Basically, that is the rear of the property which depicts the pool or the entertainment area. Furthermore, if there is a unique feature on the property in the exterior front or an eye-catching decorative detail, you should put the focus on it. A bit of elevation during shooting is also a must.

Mind the Time

Even though the photo will be digitally enhanced afterwards, taking it at the ideal time of the day will make it even better. Thus, taking the hero shot at twilight will particularly beatify the property, and will give it a magical touch of colours that can certainly make the potential buyer interested to find out more about the house. However, shooting at this time of the day might be a little bit tricky because twilight hours depend largely on the weather conditions. Fortunately, if you can’t capture the right moment, there is a virtual staging service that prompts virtual twilight enhancement to the digital photo.

Use Quality Equipment

Sure, you might have the latest smartphone with a camera that snaps breathtaking photos but is this smartphone camera enough to make the hero shot? In some cases, yes, but in order to be on the safe side, it is recommended to use a DSLR (Digital single-lens reflex) camera. The DLSR camera combines the optics and the mechanisms of a single-lens reflex camera with a digital imaging sensor. Using this type of camera can produce fantastic results that can showcase all the details you want to be noticed.

Number of Photos

As many as you can. You should have lots of photos to choose from because not enough photos would mean that you need to go back to the property and reshoot and this can cost you time, energy and money. Therefore, you can take as many as you can, just keep in mind all the useful tips mentioned before because what you want eventually is one single quality photo.

A Few More Tips

When it comes to some the position of the decorative elements you should make sure that the cushions are straightened, the chairs are pushed in evenly, the banana lounges are set at the same height, the pot plants are also straightened, lots of light is available when shooting and the symmetry is always right in order to showcase harmony.
