just needs paint



I just got word that the owner believes it "just needs a fresh coat of paint" for some reason i think they missed something.
The greatest part of being a real-estate shooter in Austin is that I get to see all kinds of properties.
If you Follow the link below you can see all of the pictures of the fraternity house. And the professional cleaning crew did come through. To bad the boys did not get the hint.

this property will sell fast.

Staging your home

In the world of real-estate, it is very important to pay attention to the appearance of the home. Professional home staggers are worth there weight in gold (well if gold still held its value)
Staging can make the difference when its time to sell. First by using there eye to either fill a space, or by removing the clutter from a space, and next to make sure the space is used properly, Maybe just moving furniture around.

I am not a professional home stagger, but as a professional real-estate photographer I do get to see the inside of many homes. This picture for example shows how big of a difference it makes to just have a picture hanging on the wall. When i first got to this assignment there was nothing hanging on the wall. I took this shot knowing that i would have to crop out some of the wall. no big deal, the space shows very well with out the wall in it. However while i was there the home owner just hung a piece of art on the wall. ( His wife had the real piece in the car to get it re framed ).
Take a look and see what it can do.
