This is why:
Even if you’re not planning to sell your house in Charlottesville or Crozet in the Spring, you might in two years … and the colors this year are really quite wonderful. Take great photos and save them. If you put your house on the market in January or February, you would.
If you are thinking about putting your house on the market in the spring, now is the time to start prepping.
Incidentally, this picture was taken at the entrance to the Grayrock neighborhood in Crozet. And I just happen to have a lovely (no longer available) house on the market there as well. /shamelessplugformyclients
Here’s another thought: If you do think that you might be looking for a Realtor in the spring, start now (I am one). Ask me for recommendations for real estate photographers in Charlottesville. We work with quite a few and I would be happy to recommend some for you. Just ask me.
