Standard photography: Your essential foundation
Standard photography is the backbone of your listing. Moerland arranges a professional photographer in consultation with you and can include height photos for that extra exterior impact.
What it does best
- Captures light, proportions, and finish-level clearly.
- Sets a consistent visual narrative across Funda and other channels.
- Anchors your PDF brochure and printed booklet.
When to prioritize it
- Always. Even with advanced media, strong photography remains the core that buyers rely on.
Tips for better results
- Declutter and depersonalize rooms so lines and textures read cleanly.
- Coordinate timing for ideal daylight.
- Consider a light home-styling refresh; Moerland can arrange professional home-styling or a clear-out on request.
360° images: Turn browsing into virtual walkthroughs
360° images allow buyers to explore each room from their screen. This immersive format often increases the time prospects spend with your listing, helping them pre-qualify before booking a viewing.
What it does best
- Shows flow and room-to-room transitions that static photos can’t fully convey.
- Appeals to busy or remote buyers who want to experience the layout quickly.
When to prioritize it
- Homes with standout spatial flow or unique layouts.
- Listings targeting a broader catchment of buyers, including those relocating.
Tips for better results
- Pair 360° images with floor plans so viewers can align perspective with dimensions.
- Keep sightlines clear; remove large items that block movement through the scene.
Artist impressions: Help buyers see what’s possible
Artist impressions are visualizations that help prospects picture a property’s potential. They’re especially useful if a home is empty, dated, or mid-refresh and you want buyers to imagine a modernized result.
What it does best
- Bridges the gap between current condition and future potential.
- Sparks ideas for layout tweaks or cosmetic upgrades.
When to prioritize it
- Properties that benefit from vision—e.g., where finishes show wear but the bones are strong.
- Homes that are empty and need warmth or context.
Tips for better results
- Use a small, focused set of impressions that highlight the most valuable transformations.
- Label impressions clearly so buyers understand they’re conceptual.
