One of the most important things you can do to prepare your home for market is to have excellent photography created that will show off your home at its very best! As an experienced realtor with 30+ years in real estate sales, I make sure I use the very best photographers in the area. Experience has taught me that the photos of the listing – whether in print ads or on the intranet – are usually the prospective buyer’s first introduction to the home.
This recent photo shoot by Ron Bird proved to be a bit challenging, because of our “summer” weather in Carmel. First appointment had to be cancelled, because we were socked in with marine layer and we kept trying and trying in the week that followed. Once earlier we had a perfect day, but Ron wasn’t available. Finally it all came together! What do you think?
Crespi 6SE Mountain View , Carmel-by-the-Sea~ offered at $2,475,000
The twilight shot with all the lights on is a powerful shot, because it makes an awesome impression and somehow stirs the viewers emotions as does a lit fire. The combination of the house all lit up and the fire pit blazing is not only inviting but gets an emotional response from the viewer.
Which shot do you think is the one that will sell it?

NE Corner of Santa Fe & Mountain View listed by Alain Pinel Realtors ~ offered at $1,325,000
Carmel-by-the-Sea is not only charming and fairytale like, but it has a few quirks. For one thing, there are no addresses. Yes, I know, for those of you who don’t know Carmel, it’s hard to believe a town without addresses, but it’s true. In order to tell someone where you live, you describe it’s location, for instance NE Corner Santa Fe and Mountain View. Now this starts getting really complicated when you live mid-block, but we’re not even going to go there today. In addition to a “description of location” as an address, homeowners give their homes a Name and have it on a sign in front to further help their friends and visitors find then. This delightful home for sale is called Snow White’s Cottage and I’ll be holding it open on Sunday.
