All About Amenities

The first step in understanding the importance of amenity photos is understanding what amenities are. Amenities are features of a property or listing that can increase a property’s marketability and make it more valuable to a potential buyer or renter. Some of the most common amenities found at residential listings include pools, entertainment rooms, home theatres and other specialty rooms. Residential amenities can also be found in kitchens, bathrooms and primary bedrooms. The list of amenities that can be found at commercial properties is a little longer and can be divided into two categories: private amenities and public amenities. Public amenities will be those available to all residents living on the property. Private amenities or in-unit amenities are found inside the specific property or listing in which a resident is living. Commercial property amenities often include parks, pools, fitness centers, in-unit washers and dryers, rooftop lounges and updated kitchen appliances. Whether you’re marketing a private residence or a commercial property, it’s important to know what amenities you have that potential buyers and renters are looking for so you can make a point of showcasing them.
