Backyard pool with deck jets and lighting at sunset with palm trees, outdoor kitchen and covered lanai

In South Florida we live outside most of the year, and buyers know it. The pool, the covered lanai, the summer kitchen and the view are often what turns a showing into an offer. If your listing has great outdoor living, it deserves to be front and center in your photos.

The Outdoor Shots Every Listing Needs

• The pool from a low angle that shows the water, deck and home together
• The lanai or loggia with furniture arranged for conversation
• The summer kitchen with grill covers off and counters clear
• Fire and water features: fire pits, fire bowls, deck jets and fountains
• Views of the water, golf course or preserve beyond

Prepare the Space

• Skim and clean the pool, and hide hoses, cleaners and pool equipment
• Clean the deck, pavers and screens, and remove pool toys
• Set out cushions, towels and a few simple accessories
• Turn on pool lights, deck jets and fire features for twilight

Time It Right

Outdoor spaces often look their best at sunset or twilight, when the pool glows, the sky turns purple and the lights come on. A mix of daytime and twilight photos shows buyers how the space lives from morning to night.

Show the Flow

Buyers want to see how the kitchen and great room open to the lanai and pool. I photograph those connections so the home feels open and made for entertaining, one of the biggest selling points in Jupiter and Palm Beach County.
