JAMES HODGINS PHOTOGRAPHY

I am always looking at the real estate listings via online or in the Real Estate Book checking to see what is coming and what is going.  I notice a lot of the online listings that have photos of the homes really don’t do the home justice.  You are probably using a point and shoot camera or even a DSLR to capture the rooms but really, you are not doing yourself OR your clients any favors.   It really is amazing what happens when you hire a “photographer” to take the interior photos for you and you might be amazed at the cost as well.  Most “professional” photographers have the equipment to get the images you need, and most of us KNOW how to use it…………not all of us………but most of us.   Using the ambient lighting and mixing in lighting of our own to open up the shadowed corners can make a huge difference from that Point & Shoot look.  I might also add that we can get MORE of the room in the frame with our wide angle lenses (more than a 28mm).    Now I am not saying because some of our equipment might be better that we get better results, what I am saying is that we KNOW how to use it, we understand lighting, composition and exposure and how to incorporate all of these elements in a photograph.

Some of you might not want to spend the extra $ (at least not for all your listings), some of you might do it yourselves and save the extra $.  Some people will not hire a real estate agent and do it all themselves.  In the end, we all know that a professional with a  good product will come out on top and everyone wins.

I have been told  from several agents that I have photographed for that their homes sell faster when they had great images to use in the portfolio.  Compare the images below from a recent listing I photographed.

“As a Real Estate Salesperson in this tech-savvy era of buyers, your pictures can make or break your listing.  Professional pictures will put the homes you are listing in the best possible light, and  will open the door to more potential buyers who will want to see the home.  It’s an affordable option and one that your Sellers deserve!”

Here are some other properties that Sudbury Real Estate Agents have contacted us to “Re-Photograph” for them.

It’s something to think about.  Sometimes the old saying “you need to spend money to make money” is something worth remembering.

Give us a call and see what we can do for your listings, it will cost less than you would think, but make you more $ in the end.
