Buyers Are Judging Your Home—Before They Even Step Inside

 

Did you know the first showing isn’t in person—it’s online?

That little rectangle in someone’s hand—their phone—often decides whether your home makes the cut or gets swiped away. The reality is simple: buyers scroll through photos long before they ever set foot on your driveway. If the online impression doesn’t stop them in their tracks, they’ll never schedule that showing.

This is why I never list a home without:

  • Professional photography that highlights your home’s best features.

  • Staging that makes every room feel welcoming and intentional.

  • A digital presence that ensures buyers don’t just see your home, they feel it.

Because in today’s market, first impressions happen through a screen. And if that first impression is strong enough, it gets buyers in the door—where the real connection (and offers) happen.

The takeaway? Treat your listing photos as the true “first showing.” When they shine, your home does too.
