Why Use a Professional Real Estate Photographer?
These days potential home buyers start their real estate search online. And they judge the houses they see based on the photos. That’s why hiring a professional real estate photographer is so important. If the photos aren’t any good, the potential buyer will rule the house out before even looking at it. Here are some other reasons you want to hire a professional real estate photographer:
- 95% of home buyers view the first photo of a listing for a mere 20 seconds. That means you only have one chance to get them to click on your listing.
- Homes with high quality photography sell 32% faster.
- Homes with more photos sell faster, too. A home with one photo spends an average of 70 days on the market, but a home with 20 photos only spends 32 days on the market.
