If you're planning to list your home this winter or early spring, here's a secret that savvy sellers know: the best time to photograph your home is right now, while your landscaping is still lush and green. Here's why I arrange for my clients photos now, even if they don't plan to list for months;

First Impressions Are Everything
Your home's exterior is the first thing potential buyers see, both online and in person. While your home's bones remain the same year-round, the visual impact of vibrant green lawns, full trees, and blooming gardens creates an emotional connection that dormant winter landscapes simply can't match.
The Online Advantage
With over 90% of buyers starting their search online, your listing photos need to stop the scroll. Homes photographed during peak growing season consistently generate more clicks, longer viewing times, and ultimately more showings. Green, well-maintained landscaping signals to buyers that the property has been cared for – even if they're viewing the listing in February.
Flexibility When It Counts
By booking your photography session now, you're giving yourself maximum flexibility for your listing timeline. Whether market conditions, personal circumstances, or seasonal trends influence your decision to list in winter months, you'll already have stunning exterior photos ready to go. No scrambling, no delays, no settling for bare-branch photos that make your property look stark.
The Strategic Advantage
Smart sellers understand that preparation is key to a successful sale. Just as you might complete renovations or staging before listing, professional photography with optimal seasonal conditions is an investment in your home's marketability. When spring buyers are comparing listings, your home will stand out with imagery that showcases its full potential.
Don't Wait – The Window is Closing
As we move into fall, each passing week means less vibrant foliage and shorter days with optimal lighting. The lush, green backdrop that makes your home look its absolute best won't last much longer.
