Call in a

Take the pictures
yourself
If you want to save money and you’re a bit creative, you can do the photos yourself. Choose a good-quality camera or smartphone. Your home should be clean, tidy and not too busy, with a neat decoration. Remember to take a sufficient number of photos. Take photos of every room, and don’t neglect the details that can make all the difference and make your travelers fall in love with your home (pretty plants, candles, etc.)! Choose good angles, and avoid taking photos from too high or with your camera tilted.
Our photo tips

If your photos aren’t perfect the first time, don’t panic! You can retouch them for an even better result. You can do this directly on your iPhone by adjusting brightness, contrast and saturation. You can also use the Snapseedapplication, which is very powerful and easy to use.
Finally, you can invest in a tripod or wide-angle lens to improve your angles of view.
