Why is Real Estate Photography Important?

Real estate photography is a powerful tool that helps highlight the best features of a property and creates a positive first impression for potential buyers. Here are some reasons why real estate photography is essential:

1. Visual Appeal: High-quality photographs make properties more visually appealing and captivating. They allow potential buyers to imagine themselves living in the space and create an emotional connection with the property.
2. Online Presence: In the digital age, most property searches begin online. Eye-catching photographs attract more views and engagement on real estate websites and listings. Quality images can significantly increase click-through rates and generate more leads.
3. Time Efficiency: Well-captured photographs save time for both sellers and buyers. By providing an accurate representation of the property's condition and layout, potential buyers can make informed decisions without the need for multiple physical visits.
4. Competitive Advantage: In a competitive real estate market, stunning images give properties a competitive edge. Listings with professional photography tend to stand out and attract more interest compared to those with low-quality or amateur images.
5. Higher Sale Prices: Studies have shown that properties marketed with professional photographs sell faster and often command higher sale prices. Investing in professional real estate photography can yield a significant return on investment.

Preparing your house for photography:

Having your house look its very best is extremely important when you want to attract the highest number of potential buyers.

• Please have the house 100% picked up and ready to be photographed upon the photographers arrival (we recommend having everything listed below completed no less than 15 minutes prior to your scheduled start window). De-personalization goes a long way in allowing a buyer to envision the home in their own style. Removing decorative flags, posters, or similar is highly recommended.

• Please note that our insurance coverage does not allow us to move anything in the home so please have everything you want moved or removed from the house completed prior to our arrival. 

• Please have pets, children, and any other family members removed or hidden during your photo session. We don’t want any “cameos” on photo day :)

• To make the house look as large as possible, it is important that they have “every single” light in the home on and operating (check all light bulbs three days before the photo shoot to make sure they are all working properly). This includes desk and bedside lamps and under counter lighting in the kitchen, etc., etc. Since the photographs as often “long exposures” you will need to turn off ceiling fans from rotating (but any lights attached to ceiling fans turned on). Make sure any light fixture with multiple bulbs contains the same color temperature bulbs. Modern LED light bulbs usually work best. We highly recommend daylight colored bulbs in all fixtures as warm colored lights cause substantial / undesirable color casting in photos.

• Grass should be mowed prior to the shoot and the driveway, yards, and sidewalks should be clear of everything and be spotless (including hoses, garbage cans, etc.). All driveways / sidewalks / areas directly in front of the house must be completely clear of cars, boats, trailers, or anything else that is not part of the house.

• Our service does not include “Photoshop”. Photoshop service is available for a limited number of image modifications and is available for an additional fee.

Clean / crisp / tidy homes attract more buyers and attract more buyers willing to pay the highest possible price with the best terms for you! We appreciate your help as we want to do everything we can to help with a successful house sale!
