In this video Online Staging Pro offers CURB APPEAL advice and solutions for home Sellers preparing their home for sales listing photos. It also includes photography advice and suggestions.
Poor home condition and bad photos are serious problems in real estate. Sellers who do not know how to prepare their home properly and/or have poor quality listing photos often can't sell their homes or they are forced to dramatically reduce their selling price and lose thousands of dollars in home value and equity.
Curb Appeal is a primary home staging principle for in-person showings but it is also very important to making a good first impression online when Buyers search real estate sites. When a house has good Curb Appeal and it shows in their online listing photos, Buyers are more likely to stay on the listing page and want to see more of the house.

Editor's Notes
We are specialist in helping sellers get their home ready for online showing. Today I’m here to help you with advice and tips on how to get your house in top selling condition for online presentation
Whether on a computer screen, a tablet or a smartphone that is where your buyer is looking and that is where they will see your house first
It’s that simple. Buyers spend hours on their devices looking at hundreds of houses. You want your house to standout and be memorable.
In this edition of The best way to sell your house online we give advice and tips on how to make a great first impression online with attractive curb appeal. So let’s get started and pull up to the front of your house.
Starting with the house exterior
You want it to make a statement, even on a 2” x 2” screen. I can’t say it enough if you don’t have attractive quality photos of your home on the sales listing you will not attract buyers. The NAR agrees that virtually all buyers will look at homes online, If they don’t like what they see, they will just click away and move on the next house.
If you’ve hired a realtor, it’s their job to sell the house but Remember ultimately it’s YOUR responsibility to make sure that your house looks it’s best and is in the best possible condition for both online and in-person showing. If it’s not and your home does not look good online, you will not attract buyers and you will not get offers and your home could sit on the market for months and months and you could be forced to drop the price thousands of dollars. What would it mean to you and your family if your house doesn’t sell?. You want to sell fast and get the most for your home. Make sure it impresses buyers when they see your sales listing online so you can sell and MOVE on with your life
I hope you have found this Curb appeal edition of The best way to sell your house online helpful. Do you need further help to …..
