Get a Picture-Perfect Home Sale
Today a found an article on the Wall Street Journal about how using a professional photographer to help sell a home is a major key in getting traffic through the door and selling the home.
Something I tell all my customers is to use either past homes I have shot for them or my marketing photos if we haven't worked together yet in their listings presentations and make sure to let the seller's know how important using a professional is and what you get out of it. Seller's search online for an agent a lot of the time and they see ALL of your listings. So someti...

What is the Single Most Valuable Shot for a Listing?
A lot of agents have asked me this question and I always have an easy answer. A Twilight shot will get you the MOST clicks when listings a home in any market. Either a 200k home or a 2million dollar home. It's all going to benefit the listing and gets views to YOUR listing.
Why don't agents do Twilight shots? Well mostly due to cost since it's a separate visit for the photographer, unless they schedule a later shot in the day close to sunset. But through my experience some agents Love them and some don't care about them. It's kind of like using a Professional ...

Are you ready for the Spring Real Estate Market?
Well today is already at 60+ degress out and it's March 8th. In New Hampshire we had about a foot of snow fall just one week ago! Talk about crazy weather in New England. For Realtors and myself, business slows down a bit when heavy snow hits, especially when it has been a very warm winter overall. As a real estate photographer weather is our downfall. No Realtor or seller wants a outside photo with snow on the ground when the first day of spring is weeks away. So we had several cancellations and shoot moves this past week and a half. Which gave me some time to do some ...

Price is a key issue in todays down market. Home sellers having a hard time wrapping there mind around how much their home has dropped in value the last couple of years. Getting home sellers to price their home at market value is a big struggle for some agents.
Once a home is priced near ...
Why Hire a Professional Photographer?
With the digital age we are in, you must be up to date on how you market your listing. Statistics show that about 90% of buyers look online before even talking to a Realtor. This means they have seen some houses on the market without any help from you. When selling a house you have to get their attention over the others. With any type marketing you have to grab someone's eye while they are scrolling through the listing's. The only way you have a chance is with professional pictures showcasing your home for sale.
With a large supply of homes currently for sale, a buyer ...
