Does professional photography help sell homes? Yes. Yes it does.
All price points of homes should be professionally photographed. One of my top performing agents has me photograph even the sub 100k listings. And then other agents ask him how he closes so many sales? And he tells them, "Irving sells my homes with his pictures". And those same agents continue to shoot homes with their phone. It's mind boggling.
Professional photographers vary in skill and ability. What level of quality are you receiving?
Bacon’s Castle was originally home to a prosperous planter, Arthur Allen, and his family. Following Allen’s death, the house was inherited by his son, Major Arthur Allen II. A loyalist supporter of the colonial government and member of the House of Burgesses, Major Allen was driven from his house in 1676 by followers of the patriot rebel Nathaniel Bacon, whose uprising later came to be known as Bacon’s Rebellion. The episode later gave Bacon’s Castle its name though the house remained in the Allen family until 1844. Source
Bacon's Castle, built in 1665, it is noted as an extremely rare example of Jacobean architecture in the New World.
83% of home buyers say photos are "very useful". What they are really saying is; clear, sharp, square (no leaning walls) photos that GIVE INFORMATION are very useful. And those yellow/orange interior photos? Or, those over processed HDR smoke damaged gritty photos are exactly what's wrong with my industry.
Does Professional Photography help sell homes? You bet.
A light rain was falling as i rang the door bell for my last shoot of the day. I could see the homeowner through the storm door walking from the kitchen, drying her hands on a kitchen towel. As she approached the front door to greet me, the sky opened up. Her cheerful expression as she opened the door was welcome as I quickly entered and set my tripod down and two lightstands with attached strobes. I knew the storm would be rolling in quickly and I was prepared to start work immediately. I quickly explained the process to the homeowner as I have 100's of times. "I'll start upstairs and work my way down. Lights on, ceiling fans and TV's off please"
It was at that moment the homeowner's cheerful smile appeared more like terror. And she asked me "who are you!?!". Yep......I was at the wrong house. Tell me your most awkward moment?

I've been working on a few projects for Charles Fobes with Keller Williams Realty. Charles brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise in buying and selling real estate. And he knows the value of helping a buyer visualize their family living in a new home. This of course is key to getting a home sold.
If you've worked with me in the past you know that I'm always harping on the fact that people make purchases for emotional reasons. "You can't tell them - You have to show them." Are you using professional photography to help your clients close the sale? Are you using professional photography to secure new listings?

Charles can help make your home attractive to the ideal audience-which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.

Late 60's split level home that I photographed for a real estate agent.
Pole Aerial Photography. I don't use drones at this point, because the FAA has their panties in a twist. Hoping proposed regulations are implemented this fall. However, you don't need a drone for elevated stills.
Does professional real estate photography sell homes? You bet. And, it builds the agents brand.
