Today’s real estate photography is much more than just point and shoot. The front line to getting potential clients’ interest in a property is through great photographs. In today’s screen-driven environment, the place to look for real estate is on line, at sites like Realtor.com and Zillo. If a viewer looks past the first three images, chances are the realtor will have a qualified lead. When a potential buyer views online images, they see more than a brick-and-mortar property. They see a lifestyle. According to the Wall Street Journal, a house photographed by a professional photographer sells faster and for more money than a house photographed by an amateur.

Professional real estate photographers realize that they are working for the real estate agent. They are part of the team and must act professionally while in the home of the agent’s client. Professional real estate photographers never criticize the home, even under the most challenging conditions.  Any concerns about clutter or debris should be discreetly discussed with the agents.
