As a of your realtor marketing, do you frequently capture listing pictures on your own or seek out a pro photographer?You have no clue about the terrible comments prospects are yelling about your listing's pics when they are online.
You'd be depressed if you were aware of the amount of income you were missing due to the pics you snapped yourself. Do you have any idea of the effect a pro photographer, in your Realtor marketing aresenal, can have?
Most Realtor try to save some money and upload pics to the MLS that they snapped themselves.
My sellers thought they were decent and I thought they were simply wonderful, until I started working as a buyer's Realtor in WA State a few years ago.
In any given month, I'd have over 100 different buyers and they'd all tell me their disgust about the photos they saw online for the houses we were seeing.
Obviously, the selling agent didn't spend anything on her pictures for Realtor marketing, which was essential.
We'd step in and they'd wonder if it was the same home they saw online. They felt cheated because the pics were nothing like the actual home.
The trend I kept seeing was that everything hung on these listing pics clients viewed while searching on the web. You can't neglect how vital a role professional pics play in your Realtor marketing arsenal when selling a home.
I mean, if you have great photos online for buyers to see, they'll run to the house that minute. But put up a ton of nasty, dim, grungy photos and you won't get a single showing.
Worse yet, if you took images that made the house look like a palace, you know what happens? You still had a buyer walk through the house. The obvious way to selling that house is having as many buyers walk through as possible, correct? So don't skimp on your photos, hire a professional for a few bucks.
With upwards of 80%+ of buyers looking online now, the listing pics are the first thing they're looking at and basing their first impressions on.
So let's pretend you took the bullet and paid a professional to capture the images for you listing...
Those clients you have would jump up and down after the house closed in 45 days instead of 9 months.
There wouldn't be any fretting about losing money because you had to lessen the list price from a stale listing.Pretend being "The Agent King or Queen" in the area when everyone sees how quickly your listing sell.
Stop complaining about how much it costs to hire a professional. Look at it as a Realtor marketing expense because that's definitely what it is. And real estate photography is one of the best methods you can spend your Realtor marketing bucks on.
Want some options?Just find a pro in your area, maybe in the yellow pages, that has reasonable prices and bring them out to the house to get the job done right. Make sure they're top notch, have all the right equipment and know the goal of these photos. The worse thing you might do is hire someone like your uncle Jim who can't take a photo better than your 3 year old.
Every heard of a company, based in Seattle, called Viscaso? Try them instead because they specialize in this kind of photography.Vicaso started to provide exactly the type of product we're talking about.
Here's the crazy thing about www.vicaso.com, they let you set up everything online, including the appointment, how many photos you want, what quality, if you want extra photos, if they need to use certain equiptment for rainy conditions, etc.
No joke, these guys can turn a run down dump and make it look like Trump's penthouse online.
