When it comes to real estate marketing there is nothing more important than real estate photography. In fact it can make or break a sale very easily.

There are many steps involved in marketing a home successfully today.
In today's internet marketing world, there are many facets to marketing a home for sale. Many agents do the bare minimum...adding the home to their MLS, Multiple List Service, and add a few pictures they snapped on their phone. We have strong opinions about going over and above with our marketing.
You only get one chance to make a first impression
Professional photos and video are a must in today's highly visual internet marketing landscape. Photos are the first impression, often the deciding factor as to whether the buyer will put that home on their list of must-see homes.
The common denominator however with many bad real estate agents is the fact they don’t understand: you need to spend money to make money. They are always looking for the easy way out and it shows. A great real estate agent understands this and goes out of their way to stand out in a crowd.
High resolution photography shows the home at it's best
Hi resolution photos are absolutely necessary to show a home at it's best. A professional photographer will understand lighting and staging, as well as the context of the photos.
A survey showed the importance of photos: Of the buyers surveyed, 91% said they are “less likely to see a home in person if the listing has bad photos or no photos.”
A survey by Homes.com showed that listings having no photos or bad photos are a deal breaker to buyers. Of the buyers surveyed, 91% said they are “less likely to see a home in person if the listing has bad photos or no photos.”
According to the National Association of Realtors, only 8% of real estate agents use video, and only 1% use Hi-Definition Video. With today's technology and affordability, There is No Reason
With a walk-through real motion video, buyers get to see the floor plan and the flow of the rooms. They feel the spaces in a way that still photos can never convey.
Selling your home? Ask your agent about their visual marketing plan including professional photos and Hi-Def walk-thru video. Having the visual advantage can help you get what every seller wants - a quicker sale, for top dollar.
