Ideas & Tips For the Perfect Headshot

By: Old Point National Bank / 27 Feb 2019
Ideas & Tips For the Perfect Headshot

Your realtor headshot is the keystone of your personal brand. It should send the right message which should be that you're trustworthy, knowledgeable and approachable enough to help people make one of the most important decisions of their lives. Here are a few ideas and tips that will help create a headshot that will do so!

Smile!
People who smile in their headshots are seen as far more likeable, trustworthy, and influential than those who don't.

Dress for Success
Wear a business outfit that is comfortable and appropriate to your personal brand. Avoid busy patterns and excessive jewelry that will distract attention away from your face.

Visit the Salon or Barbershop
Women should consider having their hair and makeup professionally done. Stick to a style that you know works instead of experimenting with a new look. Men should visit their barber and make sure their hair is neat and trimmed. Keep it simple.

Get a Good Night's Sleep
Not sleeping well the night before will make you feel and look tired. This can lead to increased anxiety, making it hard to get into the right mindset of confidence. Getting plenty of sleep will make you look and feel your best.
