Right now we are approaching peak time in real estate around central Connecticut. It is important to make your listing stand out from others to ensure you get the most exposure. Here are a few tips for making your listing stand out.

Come to the photo shoot!

Attending the shoot will ensure that the home is photographed exactly how you envisioned it. To create the most compelling images that present the home in its best light, an agent and photographer should work together as a team.

During the shoot, ask your photographer if there is anything you can do to help. In most cases, the first step is to open up every window blind, turn on all the lights, and turn off all ceiling fans in the home. It is helpful if the agent is on hand to get things moving.

Additionally, the homeowners appreciate the agent’s hands-on approach. They can see that the agent cares about the appearance of their home. Since the agent is present, the photographer can focus on taking great pictures rather than being distracted by the owner and pets.

Add a Twilight Photo

By using a twilight photo as the cover photo, it will attract potential buyers right to your listing over others. Getting more attention from buyers will increase the likelihood of you getting more showings, and more showings will translate into more offers. First impressions are crucial, so you need a photo that stands out from the crowd.

Share on Social Media

It is certain that most buyers in Connecticut use social media regularly. Make sure your listings appear there. Most agents only post photos or links to their listings, but you can do more. An exterior drone video or a short video slideshow can often entice buyers to want to see more. Video can be a great way to attract clients and increase views of your property. Interior/Exterior Walk through videos can do even more to get the buyers attention. This allows them to see the flow of the whole house.
