Ans. Here are some time tested tricks that have done wonders for our users in the past:-

•  Choose a solo photograph of your property, preferably a close-up or a full view. Keep away from showing adjacent properties because it raises     confusion for the viewer

•  Professionally clicked snaps would make a great difference in comparison to the ones clicked by you at random. Professionals are well versed with     the right angles, lightening and backdrops and adjust them to make your property look the best. So getting a snap professionally clicked is     definitely worth the effort

•  Choose photographs where your property is the focus of attention and not just the scenery surrounding it

•  Consider picking up photographs that are bright and colorful. Photographs tend to become a little darker when seen on your desktop, so avoid     posting photographs shot in the night

•  Also, make sure that the photograph covers the property from the best angle, which does justice to it

•  After selecting and scanning your photograph, do not forget to use Image Enhancing Softwares like Adobe PhotoShop or Corel Photopaint. Many     good cyber cafes offer services in this regard. Ask someone trained there to adjust the brightness, hue, contrast and saturation levels to give you     best results
