Cloudy Skies Delaying Your Listings?

So what does the weather have to do with your listing?

You’ve worked hard to get the listing, and now that you have it you need to get it listed quickly to ensure success. You get dates on the calendar for pre-listing activities like prepping the home and having photos taken, but unfortunately the spring weather doesn’t cooperate.

Instead of delaying the shoot because of the weather, leverage a professional real estate photographer. Why?

A good real estate photographer will capture good photos in great conditions, but a great photographer will capture great photos in poor conditions.

See the image above of a recent listing where I took photos in cloudy conditions. By applying a nice sunset sky replacement image to the background in post-editing it improved the quality of the listing photos and will help it sell quickly.

Also keep in mind that if you’re taking your own photos the problem becomes magnified since you’ll have to pay to license photo editing software, purchase stock photos to fit the setting, and incorporate them into the original photo – none of which are easy for do-it-yourselfers.

So the next time you get a listing, don’t worry as much about weather conditions – worry more about getting a professional real estate photographer that can overcome the challenges of less-than-ideal weather situations that Lexington, SC can sometimes bring.
