    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Most buyers spend less than five seconds looking at listing photos. Buyers are very quick to click through to the next listing photo if the current one doesn&rsquo;t immediately spark their interest. So, what importance do your photos have on your listing? There are certain things that you can do to make your photos look like a magazine shot. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but in this case, your photo should say a lot more to convey the true beauty and value of your home.</span></p>
    <h2><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Learn How To Take Better Photos Of Your Home:</span></h2>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Do you want to take stunning photos from your phone? Here are a few easy tricks that can boost your photography skills.</span></p>
    <h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Clear The Clutter:</span></h2>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The first and most important step is to prepare and clean your home for staging. The house's first impression is important. More than 80% of people use the internet to <a href="https://yourdealty.com/buy">buy</a> and <a href="https://yourdealty.com/seller/add-new-property">sell</a>, so if your home looks like a dumpster, buyers won't bother to look at it again. The images of your home should show the house as it might be to the next owner. Always always always ensure that the rooms being photographed are clean and clutter-free before taking any photographs.</span></p>

    <h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Take Photos In Natural Light:</span></h2>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Photos can make or break a sale. The pictures of your house are the only way you can convey the desirability of your home to potential buyers while they sit in their homes browsing online.</span></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">It's not just on the exterior curb appeal that matters, the interior as well. Most viewed photos of a </span><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">home&rsquo;s interior are the kitchen, master bedroom, and master bathroom. Choose the best hour of the day and make the most of natural light by opening all the blinds. When you fill the room with sunlight, it automatically makes the photos more beautiful.</span></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><img src="//s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/dealty-prod/uploads/files/000/284/998/original/Take_Photos_In_Natural_Light.jpg?1637063144" alt="" width="640" height="427" /></span></p>
    <h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Avoid Digital Zoom:</span></h2>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">One of the most basic photography tips for capturing better images is to avoid <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_zoom">digital zoom</a> because digital zoom diminishes the image's resolution, it almost always provides unsatisfactory results.</span></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Optical zooms, on the other hand, are fine because they do not degrade the image quality, and they are becoming increasingly widespread on smartphones. If you just have digital zoom, simply go closer to retain image quality instead of using your zoom button.</span></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><img src="//s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/dealty-prod/uploads/files/000/284/999/original/Avoid_Digital_Zoom.jpg?1637063152" alt="" width="640" height="427" /></span></p>
    <h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Use Wide Angle:</span></h2>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">A <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide-angle_lens">wide-angle lens</a> captures the entire atmosphere of a room while maintaining its proportions. A wide lens delivers a better sense of depth. Your home needs to stand out from the crowd and the right picture can catch a potential buyer&rsquo;s eye while the wrong one would just make them scroll to the next picture or the next listing.</span></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><img src="//s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/dealty-prod/uploads/files/000/285/000/original/Use_Wide_Angle.jpg?1637063174" alt="" width="640" height="427" /></span></p>
    <h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Vertical Lines:</span></h2>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Get your <a href="https://www.apple.com/iphone/">phone</a> on the same level as the building. The easy way to do it is to line up the edge of the vertical edge of the phone with the vertical wall of the building. And take a shot!</span></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><img src="//s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/dealty-prod/uploads/files/000/285/001/original/Vertical_lines.jpg?1637063223" alt="" width="640" height="427" /></span></p>
    <h2 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Editing Skills:</span></h2>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">A little bit of editing won&rsquo;t harm anyone. Changing lighting balances or eliminating unpleasant shadows in listing images are ok, but excessive editing may lead consumers to believe the seller is concealing something. Add a little bit of exposure to improve brightness levels, increase the contrast a little to make your image pop, or you can add a filter that matches your desired aesthetic. Just make sure you don&rsquo;t go overboard, keep it natural-looking.</span></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><img src="//s3-us-east-2.amazonaws.com/dealty-prod/uploads/files/000/285/002/original/Editing_skills.jpg?1637063247" alt="" width="640" height="427" /></span></p>
    <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">You will notice these little basic techniques will make a whole lot of difference. It will not only make your home stand out but also enhance the value of your home. If you are looking to buy or sell a home. Visit <a href="https://yourdealty.com/">Dealty</a>!</span></p>
