Fun fact: before real estate, I spent more than a decade working as a professional photographer. So why don’t I take my own listing photos?
Because just because I can do something doesn’t mean I should. 😂
Great real estate photography takes time. Think shooting, sorting, editing, tweaking and then inevitably tweaking some more. These days, I’d rather spend those hours actually working on the sale of your home. Instead, I hire professional photographers I trust.... and with my photography background, I’m probably annoyingly picky about who makes that list.
Photos are often the very first time a buyer sees your home. They’re scrolling quickly, and we might only get a few seconds to make them stop.
That makes professional photography a pretty important part of how I market every home I sell.
I spent years learning how powerful a great photo can be. Maybe that’s exactly why I don’t take them myself anymore.
