Don't let your home's photos be snow covered - let us take them now!

Now that it's November 1, 38 degrees at 8 AM, even we realtors are admitting that winter is approaching and we're starting to hear sellers talk about having their home on the market for the "Spring Market" next year.  If you're thinking about coming to market any time between now and April, it may be a good time to have us come out and photograph your home NOW!

If you look at most marketing photos taken in December, January, February, even March and early April (prime "Spring Market" season) you'll see something like this:

Sure - it's somewhat cute, but the ice dams are almost visible, there's no lawn, planting, grounds or even walkway.  If curb appeal helps bring buyers, this house probably won't even get a phone call.  Yet every year, we get calls from people from December to March looking to list their homes for sale.  I'd often argue that January and February are some of the best times to list your home for sale (future blog coming soon), but it's just sad sending out full color marketing pieces and posting photos and videos worldwide with dull, dreary, snow colored photos of what we both know is your gorgeous home.  ddsa

One of the best pieces of advice I'd give to any homeowner or investor - get out there this week (we'll have some bright sunny days) and get some fresh photos (have the leaves swept/blown off first if you can).  Or better yet, give us a call at 617-593-5685 - we'll come out with our digital cameras during peak sunlight to capture your home in its "best light".  Even if there's the tiniest chance you're thinking of selling in the next 6 months, you'll be able to have a photo like this representing your home:
