How you property presents on a website can make all the difference in whether a potential purchaser chooses to short list your home for viewing.
The preparation for viewing, is quite different on how to present your home for showing purchasers through.
To gain the best possible results for your photography, Bradys Countrywide has prepared a photo shoot list for you to use as a guide. Essentially though decluttering and a little thought to how things look through a camera lens is the answer to a good photo!!
