Hiring An Austin Real Estate Photographer

By Kelly Wood


Since the big property crash of 2007 it has become very difficult to sell a home. The market is glutted with properties and there is also a serious shortage of buyers. Many people who would love to buy a house simply cannot get a mortgage. With all this in mind those who are trying to sell their house need all the help they can get. Working with an experienced Austin real estate photographer can make all the difference.

It is impossible to underestimate the importance of the pictures on a real estate listing. Practically everyone shops on line these days and most buyers will spend only a matter of seconds looking at each advertisement. They will glance at the photographs to see if the property seems suitable. Many wonderful homes never get a chance simply because the listing agent does a poor job on the pictures.

Well over three quarters of people who bought a house recently say that they shopped on the internet first. People love the comfort of shopping from home. They can really save themselves a lot of time and effort by narrowing down their search from the comfort of their own home. The first thing that most people to is go to the pictures. If they are dull and lack inspiration the buyer will just go on to the next home.

A professional photographer who specializes in property listing pictures can do an amazing job. Most agents have no training or knowledge of photography. They simply bring in a standard 35 mm camera and snap away. They often do such a poor job that their clients home does not show at its best. In fact they can often loose their clients a potential buyer just because their pictures lack inspiration.

Pictures that will be used to promote the home should never have junk, clutter or toys in the background. This is very off putting to most buyers. They want to see a sleek and beautiful home they could imagine themselves moving into. Even the outdoor space should be carefully photographed to show it off from its best angles. A beautiful yard is a big attraction for many people, especially those with young children.

A beautiful kitchen deserves great pictures. It is also fair to the client to make the most of the homes best features. Many people spend a lot of money on their kitchen and want this investment reflected in the listing photos. Before the photographer arrives the home owner should spend time getting their house in perfect shape. The counters should be cleared off to show how much space is available.

Many professionals use a 10 mm camera. In conjunction with an ultra wide angle lens the pictures will come out great. The colors will be very natural and the detail exceptional. The pictures can also be formatted for internet use and a printed version will look great too. These can be used in promotional brochures and fliers.

Hiring a good Austin real estate photographer will take any home and make it look really special. Using the right camera with an ultra wide 10mm lens is what really helps. The pictures will have rich natural looking colors and the detail will be of the highest quality. Having pictures that stand out will get more showings and the chance of a fast sale.
