Hiring An Austin Real Estate Photographer

By Kelly Wood


Selling a home can be one of the most stressful events in a person's life. They must constantly keep their home immaculate as they never know when there is going to be a showing. Every seller hopes for a fast sale so they can move on. Some people want to move to a better job, others are looking for a better school district and others are just looking to downsize. One of the best things any seller can do is hire an Austin real estate photographer.

Studies have shown that over eighty five percent of buyers found their home on the internet. Virtually everyone now searches the listings on line. It helps them to save time by checking out a number of places and then drawing up a short list of potential home that they will actually look at. Most people rely on the the listing photographs to help them weed out the suitable from the unsuitable homes.

Good pictures really can make a very positive first impression. People are much more likely scan through the photographs rather than read the details about the property. As the old saying goes a picture is worth a thousand words. With the hectic pace of modern life leaves very little time for anything and house shopping is no different.

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.

A professional photographer knows exactly how to shoot each picture to really make any home look special. They use creative angles and natural lighting. Every part of the home is important, but kitchens and bathrooms are the places to focus on. Most people consider the kitchen the most important room in the house.

The trick that many professionals use is a wide angle lens. This allows for images of the interior that are not distorted in any way. The photographer can also help with staging the home. This practice refers to the strategic placement of furniture to create the most warm and welcoming look. At the same time many people want to see a clean and sophisticated look. The photos should appeal to a host of buyers.

If the home owner has spent a lot of money on a beautiful new kitchen this should be shown to its best advantage in the pictures. Many times a wonderfully decorated room is not done any justice by an inexperienced agent who does not take the time to really stage the room correctly. Every detail is important, down to the placement of a vase of flowers and the carefully adjusted curtains.

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.
