If you’re considering selling your home, whether in the Wilmington area or anywhere else in the country, you may be wondering when the best time to sell is. While that decision is entirely up to you, there’s one thing to consider if you’re planning to list your home in the first half of 2025: timing your exterior photos.
Why Exterior Photos Matter
As we head into a season where trees lose their leaves, grass turns brown, and holiday decorations make their way onto porches, the outside of your home might not be at its best. And when it comes to selling, first impressions matter! Even if you aren’t planning to sell your house right away, getting exterior photos done now, while the skies are clear and the landscape is lush, can help ensure your home is showcased in the best light when you’re ready to list.
At our team, we cover the cost of professional exterior and drone photography for our potential sellers. These photos capture more than just your yard—they show the entire streetscape, the community, and that gorgeous Carolina blue sky reflecting off the water if you’re near water. All of this plays a significant role in attracting buyers when your house goes on the market.
Why Now?
You don’t want to market your home with bare trees or snow piles in the background. Instead, it’s better to capture the beauty of your property in its peak condition. Even if you’re not ready to list just yet, having those photos ready gives you an edge when you are. Plus, no cost or commitment is involved—you’re not obligated to list with us. We want to ensure you’re set up for success whenever that time comes.
Serving First, Success Follows
Unlike others who may only work under contract, our philosophy is to serve first. We believe in providing value upfront, investing in relationships with potential sellers, and offering high-quality service before anything else. We don’t charge for initial consultations or services like photography because we believe that serving people well plants seeds for future success.
It’s not just about selling now—it’s about building for the future. If you’re not ready to sell right away, that’s perfectly fine. But when the time does come, having top-notch photos can help you secure the best price for your home.
