Advice for sellers: With today’s tech-savvy buyers, it is important to have excellent photographs of the interior of your home. Most buyers will spend about three seconds looking at the pictures before deciding to contact an agent or request to see a property. If the photography is done by an amateur or on a cellphone, you will often lose a buyer. When selecting a Realtor, make sure he or she knows the market, has staging advice and provides professional photography.
