“Crespi Cricket” at Twilight in Carmel-by-the-Sea

Crespi 6SE MountainView, Carmel-by-the-Sea   $2,475,000

Real Estate photography and the powerful Twilight Shot

Crespi 6SE Mountain View, Carmel-by-the-Sea

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.

Twilight shot – Crespi 6SE Mountain View, Carmel-by-the-Sea $2,475,000

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?

I”m so excited to hold this amazing 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath 1,930 SF home open  for OPEN HOUSE!  For me this is the ideal Carmel home.

It’s very “Carmel” yet it’s almost 2000 SF.  It’s like a “cottage” but it’s very much a “spacious home” with room for a formal dining area, fire places, high ceilings, skylights, and a huge (by Carmel standards) master suite.dining-room

And for those that love to entertain and test out their culinary chops, the remodeled kitchen won’t disappoint!

And no, the chef shouldn’t be stuck in the kitchen away from the party – this open floor plan allows everyone to enjoy the evening.

Doug Mack, one of our well-known builders, gutted and expanded this residence in 1994.  In 2002 the owners then made some additional upgrades by remodeling the kitchen and baths and adding hardwood floors to many of the rooms.

For the man of the house there is an over-sized garage and everyone will enjoy the lovely gardens and patio.

I’m really looking forward to my Open Houses here this weekend . . . I hope you’ll come by to see this lovely home and chat about Carmel real estate.  Of course, the best part is I’ll get to see Mikey again!
