If you are considering hiring a professional photographer to photograph your property you will want to check out the quality of images in our gallery. If you are confident that you can take good quality photographs then all you have to do is remember a few tips:

• Blow the budget: On a high-pixel digital camera that is...and especially if you are aiming for quality. The beauty of digital is you can take as many as you want, and simply delete the duds. Another plus: it will make it easier to post your photos online. Now you’re ready.
• Get everything picture perfect: When shooting interiors, make sure everything is cleared off counters and that nothing is visually distracting, such as pillows that need plumping or cute but unsightly knick-knacks. Shine up wood surfaces, windows – and add a lush plant or bouquet of flowers to a dreary corner.
• Be picky: When creating your photo gallery, show off only what you would consider to be the best features of your property, such as large windows, beamed ceilings, beautifully tiled floors, the antique bathtub. If the kitchen is too small or not very interesting, leave it out.
• Wow them with extras: Beautiful gardens, an unusual swimming pool, artistic refinements and fixtures, alluring fireplaces, a spiral staircase? These often taken-for-granted touches are what turn into the deciding factor.
• Don’t forget the outside!: Eye-catching photos of your interior are a given, but don’t forget that the exterior of your property as well as its nearby attractions and scenery all add up as part of what makes your property so unique.
• Put your photos in the best light: Get people in a holiday mood by making sure you get as many sun-drenched photographs as possible! From 4 to 6 p.m. is said to be the time of day when the light is ideal, and there is nothing like natural light and a beautiful day to make your photos shine.
• Let imagination fill in the rest: Don’t include people, animals or cars in photographs of your property or home, no matter how lovely they are. Everyone has their own tastes and vision, and you want them to be able to picture themselves in your sitting room!

Descriptive writing combined with accurately relating all the amenities that your property has to offer can at times be a daunting task. Sure we can all string a few words together but does your verbal skills evoke the essence of your lovingly looked after property enough to attract potential renters to make an enquiry? Villa Services can supply you with beautifully flowing words both to describe your rental home, the surrounding area and the facilities that you have to offer. We are also able to offer translating service into French.

Whatever product or service you have to offer it is now possible to have your very own window to the world. In terms of time the internet has been with us for a blink of an eye, yet we are so familiar and comfortable with searching for something on the web or sending off an email it’s easy to think we have been using it for a lifetime! A website is a vital part of running a business and more so for renting property. Your web site is available 24/24 – 7/7 and a well presented site with up to date information, details and images allows potential renters to see what your property offers.

Dealing with bureaucracy in any country can at the very least throw you into a panic, or turn the mildest mannered person into an angry monster, whose thoughts of revenge against these seemingly uncaring officials could possibly end with you going to prison and the authorities throwing away the key!
Slight exaggeration? Well you get the idea, we have all been there I’m sure.

If you have one of those apparently unsolvable problems then possibly we can help. Our expert in these matters, who is French and has the patience of a saint, the essential qualities required, has helped many clients solve the unsolvable.

In the early days of being employed in sales in a photographic store my boss, when asked, ‘How much is this going to cost?’ would reply, ‘How long is a piece of string?’ Shocked at first, I realised that with a little explanation customers understood this metaphor - Do you want a piece of string that is a few centimetres or a few meters long?
In the same way we need to know how long a piece of string you need!! Do you require a completed web site with all the photographs taken by our photographer and copy text written and produced by us? Do you need just one or a combination of the services we offer? Use our contact form to give as much information as you can and we will supply an estimate.
