Show your property in it´s best light

Dependant on villa rental income?
Caught in a catch 22? Cant rent, Cant sell?

Many property owners are very concerned about the coming 2010 season. Tourist figures for last year were down by all accounts and many owners are complaining about taking less bookings this year, than at this time last year.

This is a twofold problem.

Firstly, each year, more and more villas, farmhouses, cottages, windmills, etc enter the rental market and these are then placed with more and more online owner/agent websites.

It´s just becoming harder and harder to get your holiday property noticed online.

This is equally true in the case of the real estate market.

On top of this, some astute owners and agents have raised the standard of their online presentations,
by using professionaly made and hosted, photo galleries, slide shows and videos.

Secondly, there are more tourist destinations than ever to choose from and to compound it all there is a banking crisis and the economy is in resession bringing with it an expected downturn in property sales and in tourist numbers.

This would spell disaster, but for one thing. - people will still come to Algarve for their holidays and some will be looking to buy property here, it´s a fact, maybe not as many as in recent years but some will still come here, that´s for sure.

So all you have to do, is entice those potential visitors to stay in your property or buy your house. You owe it to yourself to, at least, give them a better idea of what your property has to offer so you can tempt them toward a booking or a sale.

To achieve this your online image will have to be better than most of the competing properties in the market. Only those shown well will do well.

Is your online image as good as it could be?

It does not matter if your property is large or small, luxurious or rustic in style, or on the coast or inland - what matters is how it is presented for market. The very first decisions made by those that come across your property are based soley on what they see. Only after this stage do they begin to look at location, price, facillities, etc.

Make sure potential buyers see what you have to offer in the best light.

Rental Property Photography - Algarve Renovation Retreat

We spent some of Thursday taking photographs of Casa Gastronomica, which is between Loule and Benafim, for our clients, algarvehousing.net.

As you can see we were blessed with clear skies and the house itself is very photogenic, being a mix of  traditional meets modern in its renovation style.

Other owners of property, for the rental market, can learn a lot from these pictures.

You can clearly see the power of colour when used, both, inside and out.
Rooms can appear fresher or warmer, bedrooms can project a romantic air. Outdoor terraces become transformed by a backdrop of colour and a stage is set, imagine the outdoor terraces in the gallery if they were white - They would loose all of their appeal.

These colourful images attract the eye. Its as simple as that.

For the price of a can of paint all rental owners can give at least one room a colour makeover.

If you want to stand out from the crowd, and attract visitors to your web pages before they visit your competitors, then you had better start thinking in colour.

Remember, Attractive images attract guests. Its PIX appeal

Here is a great example of property photography and the value of your online image.

We were back at Casa Vilarinha yesterday, even though we had only recently spent a day updating the portfolio of images of this house.

The owner had replaced the poolside furniture and we were asked to take new photos and thats just what we did. If you click on the above picture you can see the resulting gallery.

This house is one of the most photogenic villas here in Algarve. But there are over 3,000 others for rent in this region alone, so you have to stand out from the crowd, so, keep updating and improving your online image no matter how good it is now.

Remember, Attractive images attract guests. Its that simple.

Please let us know what you think of the gallery.

Here is a small gallery of a small farmhouse that we photographed in August, as you can see you can be very effective in projecting a feeling of temptation, even with such a small property.

Temptation to dive into the swimming pool, temptation to pull up a chair, temptation to pour a glass of wine, temptation to go to bed. Your online image, the photographs that project what you have to offer; have to pull your viewer in, have to tempt him or her into finding out more about your property.

It does not matter if your place is big or small, luxurious or rustic, on the coast or inland - what matters is how it is presented for market. The very first decisions made by those that come across your property are based soley on what they see. Only after selecting by sight do people look into more detail like location, prices, etc.

Make sure that they see what you have to offer in the best light.

So, if you want to get ahead of the game, raise the bar and improve your online image, Call ++351 969 353 866 and ask Alan about Algarve villa photography and what we can do for you.
