Advice for Sellers ~ Take Pictures of Your Yard Now!
If you are thinking of putting your home on the market next year (yes, some people think that far in advance), you MUST take pictures of your yard now!
I have recently talked to several potential clients who are thinking that they will be putting their homes on the market next spring. They are spending the time (wisely) to do everything they can to get their homes in tiptop shape so they can get the most money for their home in the least amount of time.
One of the things I always tell them is "Take Pictures of Your Yard Now!" Next March when you finally list your home, your yard will be waking up from its winter sleep. Nothing will be in bloom yet and buyers won't know how beautiful your yard can be. Give them an idea of what it looks like at its most beautiful by leaving pictures for potential buyers.
The weather has been stellar here lately, and your yard is probably at its peak. The sky is bright blue, the grass is green, your flowers are in bloom, the entertaining areas are all decked out, and if you have a pool it's looking very refreshing right about now.
Don't wait until next spring to take pictures of your yard. Show potential buyers your home and yard in its best light by taking pictures now!

Austin and most of TExas are in such a bad drought, the only way to show off the yard of a home in Austin is to Photoshop it!
Great advice, no matter where you live! Take outdoor photos when your yard is looking its best, then stockpile those photos to show potential buyers how nice the home looks during other seasons.
Hi Sam - I guess I should have specified that I am in CT! Sorry about your drought! Maybe your sellers can take pictures in another season.
Hi Michele - Great advice to take pictures in all seasons! Thanks.
Peggy I never thought of that, but it is an excellent idea, and makes a lot of sense.
Hi George - If we have a winter like last year, the snow won't melt til April!
Peggy,
This is great advise. I posted it on my facebook page and hope potential sellers see it!
Peggy, this is a GREAT idea, and I will reblog in a bit too!
