Real estate sales has become a rather impersonal quest. With the emergence of high speed internet on your handheld device and real estate apps aplenty, the agent or home owner is no longer the first point of contact - the app has taken our place.
This brings up the importance of listing photography! Go to your favorite home search site and start scrolling through photos. To stand out in a crowd, professional photography is needed. These are no longer the days of cell phone pictures posted so that the cooperating agents can get an idea of the home's elevation on the MLS. I'm talking real, professional photos, with proper lighting, staging, angle, and size.
Your home is one bad photo away from becoming a "click" or "swipe" to the next available home. Do you think that is worth $100 for a pro to come in and help?
The amount of time that goes into listing and marketing a home can be tremendous. Hours spent determining the right price, time spent on paperwork and flyers, scheduling your open house dates, reaching out to agents who continually work the area - all to be set aside by the lack of great photos. Don't risk it!! The pros know what they're doing.
Interview your photographer and ask them about their real estate photography experience. Do they correct and enhance photos? What is their turnaround time? Do the photos become YOUR property upon payment?
Be aware of the turnaround time for photography. You don't want to list your home on Monday only to have photos not show up until Thursday or Friday. Most apps and websites will inform a prospective buyer of a home that has popped up that fits their criteria. If your home pops up and there aren't any photos to accompany the listing, you may have become a click or swipe, costing you time on the market, which is ultimately money at your bottom line.
