Virtual Staging in Fords NJ - Real Estate Photographer in Fords

Virtual Staging is a low cost option for vacant listings. Advertising a vacant listing in Fords or any other cities is a challenge as all interior pictures becomes wall, ceiling and floors only pictures. 

Marketing a home for sale is about selling the life style, appealing to buyers emotion. In other words, selling the sizzle and the steak.

There are studies out there quantifying the benefits of staging when selling a home (selling for more money and less time on the market). I'll let you Google it. While virtual staging is not "real" staging, it is a lower cost option that that will bring most of the benefits found in home staging.

Example of virtual staging a home in Fords- Not all rooms need to be virtually staged. 3 to 4 virtually staged pictures are typically all that is needed to bring some life, emotions and interest into a vacant home.  

Virtual staging is a simple and low cost solution to about any "boring" vacant listings. Online buyers staying more time on your listing, appealing to emotions, creating more interest and more showings.
And soon you might find yourself becoming a vacant listing specialist!!!

Metuchen Drone Real Estate Photography - Real Estate Photographer in Metuchen NJ

Drone is for backyard too 

I had the pleasure this week to shoot this nice backyard with an awesome above ground pool in Metuchen.

One thing that I wanted to point out on that photo shoot is the difference that 30 feet elevation can do.

The first picture is taken at 5 feet high and the second at about 30 feet high with a DJI drone.

Really, tell me which pictures do you want to jump in? which one is bringing more emotion? which one is capturing the full essence of the backyard? ?

While drone photography is a given for property with views, by the water, forest, etc...the reality is that a 20-50 feet high picture with a drone can create a very compelling story and picture.

Plainfield Real Estate Photography - Real Estate Photographer in Plainfield near me - Sky Replacement

Example for blue sky replacement picture on a home in Plainfield NJ.

Depending on the time of the day and the position of the sun on the house, things can become challenging, such as having a completely over blown sky in the photo. This is just one of the many challenges that real estate photographers have to deal with. 

This was the case in the real estate photo shoot of this Plainfield home for sale.
There are different ways to handle this situation such as shooting brackets, shooting RAW, simply selecting a different time in the day...
Or doing a sky replacement in Photoshop and Lightroom. This particular process can be time consuming  based on the complexity of the picture. Mostly the trees and leaves in this case. The more of them and the more challenging in general.

The two below photos are the before and after the sky replacement.

Edison Real Estate Photography - Home Photographer in Edison NJ 

It's always such a pleasure to photo shoot a home for sale that has been well staged by the Agent and the home seller. 

And I understand it is not always possible to get to that point for a reason or another. Not judging, just saying...:)

This photo shoot was done in an Edison townhouse, North Edison to be exact.

The seller was home and so involved, it felt like he was directing the photo shoot. We had a good time. I just love it when people are so involved like that and "walking the walk", meaning putting a lot of efforts to get their home ready for pictures and for showings. 

It does take a bit of work to prepare a home prior going on the market but the statistical benefits have been consistently proven.

When you work with me I provide you with a simple 4 pages check list to provide your Edison home sellers (I work mostly in Middlesex County, Somerset, Union, Mercer and upper part of Monmouth in New Jersey): "How to Prepare your Home for Professional Photography"

Metuchen real estate photography - Real estate photographer in Metuchen - Virtual Staging

A lot of fun taking pictures on this Beautiful Metuchen home.

The challenge: this home is vacant. Selling Real estate in Metuchen and pretty much everywhere is about selling a lifestyle not only walls and ceilings.

Easy and very inexpensive solution: create a few  virtually staged photos for this home in Metuchen.

So I created 4 Virtually Staged pictures  to give some life to the online listing and emotionally appeal to buyers. 

Its really all that's needed for vacant listing 2-4 Virtually Staged pictures from your local Metuchen real estate photographer
