Why Professional Photos Are Still Needed In Sellers Market

Many agents in this sellers market think that they really don’t need to invest in professional photographer since houses are selling so fast.  While this true, professional photos for your listing aren’t just for the local MLS, but for marketing yourself to other prospects, whether it is postcards for just listed/under contract/just sold, company websites, flyers, etc. etc.

One of today’s challenges is that many houses are selling for above list price and comparables are challenging, thus it is imperative that appraisers be able to document your home with the pictures that are going to help.  A picture is worth a thousand words.

For just a small amount of investment (under $100) you can hire a photographer to take 15-25 still photos.  I used Kyle Aiken with Home Tour Company and was really pleased. Here is a side by side of my photos with Home Tour Company Photos because remember “The deal is not done till everyone signs.”  P.S. We got multiple offers on this listing.
