Some say a picture is worth a thousand word, and when it comes to selling luxury seaside real estate this is definitely the case. Most people today search for a home on the Internet before they go in person to see the residence.
Ninety-eight percent of home buyers who searched for a new home online said that photos were among the most useful features of real estate websites, according to research from the National Association of Realtors.
When you’re selling a luxury oceanfront condo or waterfront estate the first thing people want to see are the photos. It’s the first impression they get of your home. It’s all about the way you market the luxury oceanfront property that is for sale and the best way to do that is with exquisite photos and a great headline. This is even more effective when it comes to luxury seaside condos. Photos of ocean views and the tranquility that is inspired through the photos is all part of the sale.
Photographs give the buyer an idea of what it would be like to live in the luxury oceanfront condo. If your home is beautiful with magnificent water views you want prospective buyers to see that.
One of the things that make The Seaside Group at Douglas Elliman, Inc. so special is the photography. Niki Higgins, broker and one of the owners of The Seaside Group at Douglas Elliman, Inc. took most the photos you see on www.seasidepropertiesgroup.com.
