Why Hire a Professional Real Estate Photographer?

90% of home buyers use the internet for home searching now before stepping out to any open house. Adding professional real estate photos when marketing your home or property will help bring a lot more awareness. Beautiful photographs create the best first impression. We have realized that most home buyers decide whether they like a home or not from the first exterior photo they view! The exact reason why Home Shots SF should be on the top of your list when preparing to market your property.

Not only does having high quality photos on your listing attract the attention of several home buyers, as a realtor or real estate professional it also helps show off your attention to detail and professionalism in representing sellers. If you really want to elevate your marketing, we offer aerial drone photography and videos as well. There have been several cases where real estate agents have found new clients just because the clients liked how the pictures or videos looked on a listing!

Some realtors have failed to see the necessity in professional photos. But in areas like the San Francisco Bay Area where the average home price is $1 million, it is important to upscale your sales and marketing with high quality real estate photography. The common saying goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words.” What about a home virtual tour then? Those would be worth millions! Check out our portfolio for previous examples we have done.

As a real estate agent, you are busy enough with the listing as it is. We have worked with individuals who tried doing it on their own to save a few hundred dollars. This requires spending a few hours going into the different rooms, around the outside, editing it afterwards, just to find out it didn’t come out as they hoped! Having an expensive camera doesn’t instantly make you a professional photographer. Understanding how to best capture images of a home takes lots of practice and experimentation to truly master, which we at Home Shots believe have done!

Hiring an experienced real estate photographer can save you this headache and hours of your time. We have all the right equipment, understand which angles and lighting work best, use the best software to retouch the images, and will package them all for an easily download from the comfort of your home or office.
