Staging a home to sell can be as simple as de-cluttering and cleaning a room, moving some lamps, removing some personal pictures or lightening the room by adding a little color and opening blinds and shades.  It can also be more complex with a complete makeover including repainting, bringing in new or rented furniture, or removing pieces of furniture and resetting the room with furnishings that you already have.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Once the staging has been accomplished, it is the photographer’s turn to take the photos that are clean, elegant and enticing. The phrase, “a picture is worth a thousand words” is so true, and the importance of quality pictures can’t be underrated in the level of importance in selling your property. A photographer’s goal is to make sure the pictures of your property, which will be on the internet and in print, speak loud and clear to the potential buyer seeing your home for the first time through the lens of a camera. The message should be, “I could definitely live here”.

The relationship of carefully staging a home and taking high quality photographs is all done with the purpose of getting your home shown and sold for the highest possible price. It doesn’t matter if it is a small New England Cape or a grand Lake Winnipesaukee or Squam Lake waterfront home; it all serves the same purpose to get your property shown.

Many of us in real estate take too many pictures of the outside of the house to use in advertising, but it is the pictures of the inside of the home, if staged properly, that will most intrigue a potential customer.

Elegant Yet Simple is Inviting

Sailing off Wolfeboro Neck

“The First Summer Resort in America” became such because the first Royal Governor of New Hampshire, John Wentworth established a summer estate known as Kingswood on Lake Wentworth in 1770. This site can still be visited though just a foundation is left.

Wolfeboro has six water bodies within the town or with the town sharing shore frontage  such as on Lake Winnipesaukee. Some facts and figures about these lakes are listed below.

Each Wolfeboro lake and pond has its own unique characteristics, but all have beautiful rental and owned properties located on them. For the person wanting the feel and excitement of a big lake then Lake Winnipesaukee with its 44,586 acres to explore are for them. If it’s the quiet and solitude of a small water body that doesn’t get tremendously busy but has many cottages as well as the internationally acclaimed Wolfeboro Camp School on its shores, than Rust Pond might be the place to enjoy your summer on.
