Real Estate Photography

Expenses

It all begins with a search…

And with over 90% of buyers beginning their home searches online, effective images are more important than ever. We live in a visual world, and the images you present are the keys to your success. You have only seconds to make a good impression of your listings on the web, if not, they move to another house that looks more attractive.

Recreating what the human eye sees… that is our ultimate goal when photographing a home.

As Real Estate Agents, you know it’s not about listing a property; it’s about selling it. Your listing needs to stand out in the crowd, and attract potential buyers. In today’s competitive market, your edge is professional photography. By representing the property through professional photographs, you are also presenting yourself as a true professional in your field – someone who knows the importance of first impressions.

As Sellers, you need to get the attention of the right buyer – the one will write the next chapter in the home’s history. Effective photography is one of the most important and cost effective tools your agent can use. Blurry, dark, or uninspiring photos can often lead that potential buyer to simply click past your home, diminishing the chances of getting that second look.

Regardless of the value of your home, we will create images that capture a buyers attention.

360• Panoramic photos – $0.00

♦ My philosophy on panoramic photography: I simply do not like them. They are annoying, dizzying, and distort the property to the point that they’re not even worth viewing, and they can be a turn-off instead of a feature that helps the sale. Rather, I choose the best views and angles to show the property at its best. Photos and tours should be a teaser to get the potential buyer in the door, not a bare-all exposé that shows every flaw. Why do this? In my opinion, several well-planned, well-lit, professional-grade photos will do the job of enticing the potential buyer to want to see more.
