When it comes to selling your home, there are a lot of things that can contribute to your success. No one thing can affect the perception of your home more than photography. Today we are going to talk about professional photography and the important role it plays in marketing and selling your home.

We are going to take a look at 4 examples of "before" home pictures that were originally taken by the agent and 4 "after" pictures we took with the assistance of a professional photographer. The second 4 photos were successful in selling the home.

In the first picture, you can see the home almost appears to be tilted, and doesn't fill the frame. We corrected this by filling the frame and centering the home, making the home look bigger and better.

In another one, we have a picture of the inside of a home. Specifically, the inside of a home gym. There is exercise equipment strewn throughout the room and it looks cramped and dark.

By decluttering the room and opening up some windows, we were able to transform this space into a wide-open room, that added value to the home.

From these photos, you can really see how marketing and professional presentation affects your home sale. If you have any questions for us, you can always give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you!

Ginger - "Paul really knows the business and stays focused on the client and what is best for them."

Sumera - "Paul worked very hard to sell our house and he took the time to keep open communication with us."

Alan - "We really wanted to sell our home quickly and Paul really helped us meet our objectives. We set a good price for the home and was able to get it on the market quickly. We actually sold it before our first open house using Paul’s unique tactics!"

Ken - "I have no complaints and I’m happy that we were able to sell my commercial property. Paul was very thorough and he always followed up with me, even when things weren’t happening he would still call me. He was so professional and knowledgeable and if I were to sell another home or anything, I would call Paul, he was great."

Spencer - "He took us through the whole process. We had never sold a home before and he just walked us through everything. He was really good about doing what he said he was going to do. If he told me he was going to follow up on certain time or certain day, he did that. It was really great!"

Avantika - "Pretty much from start to finish, he was excellent to work with and went above and beyond. He was very good at following up and checking in to make sure things were moving along quickly."

Aaron - "We sold the house. It was a pretty quick turnover. Paul did a great job getting the word out. He had to do a lot of back and forth with the contract, because the buyers wanted certain things fixed. Paul did a great job figuring out different ways for us to get those things done without having to hire a contractor. Some things were simple enough that I could take care of them myself. I thought that was very helpful."

Gisela -"Paul Herrick gave us exactly what we needed to get this deal. We had been dealing with another Realtor for almost a year and a half. In a very short period of time, Paul was able to get the buyers for the price that we were requesting. He was right on the money! He was experienced, and he was actually there for us to answer all of our questions. He was able to make the buyer confident that it was a good fit for them. He know what it takes to convince the buyer!"

Douglas -"Even before we signed with him, he helped us understand the market and how everything was going to go down. I thought that was above and beyond. My mom was the homeowner, and she loved his enthusiasm and work ethic. He was the third Realtor we worked with. The rest of them all just said that the market wasn’t good, but he definitely represented. There was a bit of a bidding war, and he got the house sold!"

Jerry -"He listened to what I needed. He showed me what was available at the time, and adjusted along the way. He fed it to me in a way that I could understand. At the end of the day, I was certainly happy with the product!"

Wayne -"I’ve worked with Paul Herrick on two occasions, once to buy a house and then to sell a house. He was very professional. Paul is always willing to go the extra mile and keep me informed on the process. He reached out to the buyers to facilitate negotiations, and he was able to reach an agreeable price. I’ve sold five houses, and I’d say he goes above and beyond compared to most Realtors!"
