I wanted to take a minute to talk about the importance of photography and having a professional capture photos of your home. You don't want just anyone taking photos of your home to use for marketing purposes.

Some of the photos I see people put up just amaze me because they're such low quality. Did you know that roughly 90% of people shop for homes online, just like they would shop for anything else? If the photos of your home aren't good, those people aren't even going to come look at it. You don't have long to grab someone's attention on the Internet.

You only get one chance at a first impression.

That's why it's so important to have a professional shoot photos of your home that capture a buyer's attention.

Years ago, many companies used to pay for professional photography; now, since many agents have to personally pay for it, they choose to take pictures - to be completely honest - are just crappy. It's amazing that some people even put them online.

We always have a professional come out for photos, as well as videos and a virtual tour as well. It's the number one thing that buyers see, so it's silly not to have the best photos possible.

If you have questions, please feel free to give me a call. I'd be happy to help you.
