In 2007, 80% of home buyers went online when searching for a home.

  1. Save Time and Stress, Have a Professional Real Estate Photographer Handle the Still Photos.

Taking photos takes time. As a realtor, you have to drive to the property and go room by room snapping photos. But your work does not stop there. Once you get back to the office you have to pull the images off your camera and place them onto your computer before you can upload them to the MLS.

It is easy to get stressed when something goes wrong with your computer and your photos do not download correctly. If you happened to take a blurry photo, you have to decide to discard it or go back to the property to retake the shot. Otherwise you risk posting a photo to the MLS that does not meet your standard of quality and you end up advertising your brand in a poor manner when potential clients view your listing online.

A Professional Real Estate Photographer will not only take the still photos, but they will re-size them and send them to you over email or through their website. All you need to do is download the image files and upload to the MLS.

  1. What To Avoid When Choosing A Professional Real Estate Photographer:

  • Distorted architectural features. Homes are built with vertical walls. If wall joints and ceiling joints are curved, a good Professional Real Estate Photographer is using a wide-angle lens incorrectly. Make sure all horizontal and vertical lines are straight.
  • Poor compositions. If the Real Estate Photographer is in a hurry, they will make poor composition choices. Your still photos should not be of the back of a sofa. Your Professional Real Estate Photographer should take enough time to examine the space and find the best compositions. Using composition correctly, a real estate photographer can omit items from the home such as a dog kennel.
  • Fake “painting” photos. HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a process used to merge multiple photos together to create a great exposure. Although this process can be done correctly, many real estate photographers end up with a product that looks painted and fake. If their photos look painted, cartoon-like or “too good to be true”, you will want to avoid that real estate photographer so potential homebuyers are not greeted by a home that does not appear to be like the photos they saw online.
