Virtual Twilight: The First Hook on Your Listing<\/h2>

If you ask house hunters to list the things they consider important when visiting real estate listings, you\u2019ll notice that the area surrounding the house is among their top priorities. That is to say; it matters to them how the property looks from the outside. Sadly, this is usually underestimated or, simply ignored, by many agents. Checking any real estate listing, you\u2019ll notice lots of listed properties with uninviting photos of poorly maintained exteriors, cluttered yards, or messy streetscapes. One way to compensate for the mess around the house is to apply the so-called virtual twilight<\/a> effect, which we will discuss today.<\/p>

What Is the Virtual Twilight Effect?<\/h2>

As the name suggests, virtual twilight is a photo editing technique that recreates twilight’s atmospheric effect, adding a dreamy soft glow to the image. Such an effect evokes viewers’ emotions to your benefit making them want to see the property and take a closer look.<\/p>

Before proceeding any further, we should mention that adding virtual twilight to your real estate photos is a legal practice as it doesn\u2019t manipulate the property\u2019s physical structure or features. No buyer can complain that the sky over your property doesn\u2019t look the same as in the photo for that is something out of your control! With that being said, let\u2019s take a look at the advantages of virtual twilight for real estate listings<\/a>.<\/p>

Conceals the mess around the house!<\/h3>

Before shooting the property, you should do your best to improve your house\u2019s curb appeal<\/a>. But that comes with a cost that many can\u2019t, or don\u2019t want to incur. Also, you can\u2019t do anything about the mess around your neighbors\u2019 houses that spoil the look of your place. Giving that virtual twilight touch to your photo makes viewers overlook pity details such as cluttered yards or unkempt surroundings.<\/p>

Your listing will get more clicks<\/h3>

The front door shot with the twilight effect will be the first pic that house hunters see in your listing. Because of that magical touch, your listing will attract more attention than other properties. Though this does not mean that your property will sell faster, as there are other factors involved, your click-through rates will definitely be higher than other listings. What\u2019s the implication? A higher number of house hunters will go through your listing and, most probably, book a visit.<\/p>

To add virtual twilight to your photos you can use Luminar<\/a> or similar software.

Hiring a professional editor<\/h3>

Another way to give that magical touch to your photo is to find an experienced real estate photo editor and ask them to do the job. But, keep in mind that not many professionals are willing to edit only one photo, and if they do, you\u2019d probably have to wait for a day and pay $5-$15.<\/p>
