Creating good pictures of your property is more important than anything else for attracting renters. Put up at least 12 pictures, and write clear descriptions for each. If possible, get a professional photographer to do the job for you. And if you are planning to take the pictures yourself, here are a few things that you must keep in mind.
Spain is the land of eternal sunshine. Let your pictures reflect that- show renters they will enjoy perfect weather. Make sure your pictures show blue skies, bright and warm backdrops, and greenery of the Spanish landscape.
** take pictures in winter if it means no leaves on the trees - bare trees look cold and unwelcoming.
Tidy up before you start and prepare the scene before shooting: place towel sets on beds, lay the dining table, etc.
** For truly beautiful looking pictures, make use of natural lighting effects. The soft, golden hues of sunlight of early morning or early evening give great shots of the exterior and surrounding areas of the villa.
There are two schools of thought on having people in your pictures. On the one hand, a pleasant, smiling face makes a property more personal and that may make someone hit the enquiry button. On the other hand - do the people in the picture make you want to be there? Or do they put you off your dinner? Make sure they are in tune with the spirit of your home and 'adding to the dream'.
The main points of interest in a villa are fireplaces, comfortable furniture, and open windows with beautiful views. Do not include familiar objects- show people what is different and attractive about your villa in Spain.
** Is your villa located in some of the best areas in Spain? Use the views around the villa to your best advantage. A beautiful picture of the stunning landscape adds to the appeal and allure of your villa. People will have something to look forward to when they arrive.
Include some good pictures of how the villa looks from the outside. People need get a glimpse of the complete villa-interiors and well as exterior. It doesn’t matter if the villa isn’t very attractive on the outside. People just need to be reassured that everything is in place.
** Let in as much natural light into the rooms and take pictures in natural light whenever possible, restrain from using flash for every picture.
