Why Professional Photography Matters When Selling Your Maine Home

By Megan & Erl Brown, Maine Real Estate Experts

When selling a home in Maine, professional photography is one of the most important tools for success. Most buyers begin their home search online, and the photos they see are often what determine whether they schedule a showing or scroll past your listing.

Buyers Shop Online First

Today’s buyers compare homes on their phones and computers before ever stepping inside. Listings with bright, high-quality photos stand out immediately, while dark or poorly composed images often get overlooked. Strong photos help your home make a great first impression and attract serious buyers.

Professional Photos Make a Difference

Professional real estate photography does more than show rooms—it highlights what makes your home special. Quality photos:

• Showcase natural light and layout

• Emphasize architectural details and features

• Accurately represent space and flow

• Help buyers imagine themselves living there

This is especially important in Maine, where homes often feature historic charm, unique floor plans, or beautiful natural surroundings.

More Views Lead to Better Results

Homes with professional photos typically receive more online views, more showings, and stronger interest from buyers. Increased attention creates momentum, which can lead to better offers and smoother negotiations.

Our Approach to Marketing Homes

As a husband-and-wife Realtor team, we believe professional photography is essential—not optional.

We don't just photograph your home either - Erl has his commercial drone license so we also capture stunning drone video and photos, a 3D virtual tour where buyers can "walk" through your home, a 2D floor plan with measurements.
