<p>If you’re listing a home or vacation rental near Disney, you’ve got one shot (literally) to make a strong first impression.</p>



<p>There are a ton of listings in the Davenport, Four Corners, and Orlando area. <strong>As a result</strong>, buyers or guests are flying through photos like it’s a game of swipe-left. So the visuals? Yeah—they matter.</p>



<p>That’s where we come in.</p>



<p>At David Allen Productions, we marry top-notch real estate photography with cutting-edge technology (yes, even AI) to help your property stand out—and get booked or sold quicker.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f3af.png" alt="🎯" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> So Why Is Photography So Important?</h3>



<p>People aren&#8217;t just buying a house near Disney.<br><strong>Instead</strong>, they’re buying proximity.<br><strong>They’re investing in</strong> magic — the kind that stays with you.<br><strong>For example</strong>, that “we watched fireworks from the pool” kind of memory.</p>



<p>Because of that, your listing needs to evoke an emotional response, not just show off square footage.</p>



<p><strong>To make your property shine</strong>, we bring listings to life through:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Bright, clean, wide-angle photos that highlight every space</li>



<li>Additionally, aerial drone shots show how close you are to the magic</li>



<li>We also offer sky replacement, virtual twilight, and crisp AI-enhanced editing</li>



<li><strong>To top it off</strong>, you get custom-branded marketing kits with your logo, contact info, and built-in calls to action</li>
</ul>



<p>The goal? Make your listing <em>scroll-proof</em>.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f916.png" alt="🤖" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Yep… We Use AI (But in a Cool Way)</h3>



<p>AI isn’t just a buzzword—we use it to streamline editing, create marketing materials, and, <strong>most importantly</strong>, speed up your delivery without sacrificing quality.</p>



<p>For example, we can:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Generate your marketing bundle with social posts, flyers, and links</li>



<li>Convert your photos into short-form video reels for Facebook or Instagram</li>



<li>Run things like sky replacement, lighting adjustments, and color grading instantly</li>



<li>Get everything back to you faster—without sacrificing quality</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>In other words</strong>, it’s like having a built-in editing assistant who never takes a break.</p>



<p>Still, every photo is taken and reviewed by a human (hi <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f44b.png" alt="👋" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />). AI just helps us do what we already do—even better.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f9ed.png" alt="🧭" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> What It’s Like to Work With Us</h3>



<p><strong>Over the years</strong>, we’ve worked with hundreds of agents and property owners, and we’ve made the process easy.</p>



<p>Here’s how it usually goes:</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>First, book your shoot online—it’s fast and simple.</li>



<li>Then we show up, shoot, and capture your property&#8217;s best angles.</li>



<li>Within a short turnaround, you&#8217;ll receive your edited photos and custom-branded marketing kit.</li>



<li>After that, it&#8217;s go time—you list, share, and watch the inquiries roll in.</li>
</ol>



<p>Want to add extras like a walkthrough video, floor plan, 360 tour, or virtual staging? We’ve got that too.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f30d.png" alt="🌍" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Our Local Zone</h3>



<p>We photograph properties all across Central Florida, including:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Davenport</li>



<li>ChampionsGate</li>



<li>Kissimmee</li>



<li>Celebration</li>



<li>Orlando</li>



<li>Clermont</li>



<li>The Four Corners and more</li>
</ul>



<p>If it’s close to Disney, chances are we’ve already been there.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f64b-200d-2642-fe0f.png" alt="🙋‍♂️" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> FAQ – In Plain English</h3>



<p><strong>Q: What do you mean by “AI-enhanced” photography?</strong><br>A: It means we use smart tools to enhance editing, speed up delivery, and help generate branded marketing materials. You still get a real human behind the lens—just with better tools.</p>



<p><strong>Q: How does that help me sell or rent faster?</strong><br>A: Fast delivery + polished content = quicker listing and better first impressions. It gives you a head start.</p>



<p><strong>Q: Do you create social videos too?</strong><br>A: Absolutely. We can convert your photos into short, branded video reels that are perfect for Instagram, Facebook, or paid ads.</p>



<p><strong>Q: Will I see my branding on the content?</strong><br>A: You bet. Your shoot includes a custom-branded marketing package with your logo, name, and contact info baked in.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, you’ve evaluated your finances, thought about your lifestyle, and made the big decision to sell your home. Maybe you’ve decided to downsize, or you’re moving out of the big city because you can now work remotely, or maybe you just want to live somewhere warmer and bought a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.redfin.com/city/14240/AZ/Phoenix">house in Phoenix</a>&nbsp;or a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.redfin.com/city/16904/CA/San-Diego">condo in San Diego</a>. Whatever your reason, you’re ready to sell. With so many things to consider, selling a house can be an overwhelming process, and this is especially true during a pandemic. Luckily, for you, we put together a comprehensive guide on how to sell your house in 2021.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Sell-2021-edited-scaled.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-911" width="1049" height="785.7255859375" srcset="https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Sell-2021-edited-scaled.jpg 2048w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Sell-2021-edited-scaled-600x449.jpg 600w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Sell-2021-edited-300x225.jpg 300w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Sell-2021-edited-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Sell-2021-edited-768x575.jpg 768w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Sell-2021-edited-1536x1150.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What to expect from the housing market in 2021</strong></h2>



<p>The coronavirus pandemic has had a major impact on our lives – from how we work to how we socialize and travel. It has also affected how we buy and sell homes. So, if you’re planning on selling your house in 2021, it’s important to understand what to expect from the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.redfin.com/us-housing-market">housing market</a>&nbsp;this year and how to best prepare. Luckily, Redfin Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather gives us her keen insights into what to&nbsp;look out for in 2021.</p>



<p>“Typically, the homebuying season starts in late spring, but this year, we expect the homebuying season to begin by late January. That’s because buyers will want to take advantage of record-low mortgage rates before they begin to rise. So if you are thinking about selling this year, you should get your home ready now. Buyers want move-in ready homes because they don’t want to worry about having contractors in and out of their new home during a pandemic. It won’t hurt to list your home early.”</p>



<p>Regardless of if you’re a first-time or seasoned home seller, this step-by-step guide will help you navigate how to sell your house this year.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1) Hire a home inspector</strong></h3>



<p>You’re probably thinking,&nbsp;<em>wait, isn’t that the buyer’s responsibility?</em>&nbsp;You’re not wrong. When you’ve accepted an offer, the buyer will most likely request a home inspection of their own. So, why would you have one? First, if a home inspection turns up something that’s in need of repair, wouldn’t you prefer to resolve it before entering into negotiations?</p>



<p>In fact, if you end up needing to make repairs that take weeks to fix, you may lose that buyer altogether. Having a home inspection is a proactive approach to getting your home ready to sell. Known as a pre-listing home inspection, you can find out the exact condition of your property, what issues and repairs need to be addressed beforehand, fix them, and then focus on the next task to sell your home fast.</p>



<p>Also, knowing the condition of your property will further assist you during the negotiation phase with potential buyers. As you may already be aware, buyers often use their home inspection as a way of getting concessions from sellers, such as asking you to drop your list price. If you’ve already addressed these repairs, it is less likely that anything new will come up and impact your negotiation. Before hiring an inspector, be sure to inquire about what measures they are taking to protect their customers from COVID-19.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="682" src="https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Mabel-Loop-Ridge-38-1024x682.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-409" srcset="https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Mabel-Loop-Ridge-38.jpg 1024w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Mabel-Loop-Ridge-38-600x400.jpg 600w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Mabel-Loop-Ridge-38-300x200.jpg 300w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Mabel-Loop-Ridge-38-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2) Make repairs and small upgrades to your house</strong></h3>



<p>After you receive a comprehensive list of repairs you should make, it’s time to get started either making the repairs yourself or contracting out the right person. This may also be a great time to make small upgrades to your home.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Understand what today’s homebuyers are looking for</strong></h4>



<p>Due to the pandemic and so much time spent at home, there are certain features that are becoming a necessity for homeowners. For example, homebuyers want a home office. If you don’t have a designated office space, stage a spare bedroom or extra space as a home office. Add a desk, a plant, and a bookshelf to give it a look that will stand out on Zoom calls. Homebuyers are also looking for deluxe kitchens. This is no surprise as so many picked up cooking or baking as a new hobby in 2020. Consider upgrading your kitchen with new appliances and quartz or granite countertops. (Granite countertops are actually one of the top 10&nbsp;<a href="https://www.redfin.com/us-home-trends">home trends</a>&nbsp;with the highest sale-to-list ratio in the U.S.)</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Enhance your outdoor space</strong></h4>



<p>When you are selling your house, you want to find ways to make it stand out, and what better way than having the most beautiful entrance and lawn on the block. You don’t necessarily have to paint the exterior of your house to impress homebuyers. Simple things like trimming your hedges and a freshly mowed lawn will go a long way. Even freshly laid beauty bark and newly planted flowers can really make your yard pop. If these improvements seem like too much to handle while you’re trying to prepare your home to sell, look into hiring a landscaper to assist.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Brighten your home</strong></h4>



<p>When it comes to first impressions, a poorly lit home is at an automatic disadvantage. Darkness can make a home feel uninviting, dirty, and cramped even when it isn’t. So, before putting your home on the market, you’ll want to find simple ways to brighten your home. These can include painting your ceilings white and choosing a wall color that is brighter and more neutral, adding mirrors, replacing light bulbs, and adding additional light sources.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/331-Birkdale-Highlands-Reserve-Twilight-7-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-712" srcset="https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/331-Birkdale-Highlands-Reserve-Twilight-7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/331-Birkdale-Highlands-Reserve-Twilight-7-scaled-600x400.jpg 600w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/331-Birkdale-Highlands-Reserve-Twilight-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/331-Birkdale-Highlands-Reserve-Twilight-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/331-Birkdale-Highlands-Reserve-Twilight-7-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/331-Birkdale-Highlands-Reserve-Twilight-7-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/331-Birkdale-Highlands-Reserve-Twilight-7-scaled.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption>For more information contact David Allen Productions at David@DavidAllenProductions.com</figcaption></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3) Declutter and prep your house to sell</strong></h3>



<p>Decluttering&nbsp;and prepping your house are steps you should make a priority when learning how to sell your house. Renting storage units is becoming an increasingly popular method of decluttering one’s house before selling it. The idea is to limit the amount of stuff in your house so that potential future owners can envision themselves (and their stuff) in that space. Even removing photos is a great way to allow potential buyers to think about what they would hang on those walls. If you’re looking for a quick turnaround, bring in a professional organizer, or schedule a virtual consultation. They can help get your house in order, while also preparing you for a stress-free move.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>4) Find a real estate agent</strong></h3>



<p>Finding a real estate agent is easy,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.redfin.com/blog/how-to-choose-a-real-estate-agent/">finding a great real estate agent</a>&nbsp;can be more of a challenge. Getting referrals and reading online reviews is a great way to start narrowing down your options. You’ll want to understand what you’re looking for when hiring a real estate agent to represent your best interests. Here are some questions to consider asking any potential candidate:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>How many clients have you served this year?</li><li>Has a client ever filed a complaint against you?</li><li>What is your fee?&nbsp;</li><li>What services do you offer beyond negotiations and escrow?</li></ul>



<p>After you decide on a real estate agent, you and your agent should come up with a plan of action for how to sell your house. It should include a timeline, from the pricing of your house and getting it listed on MLS to&nbsp;personal showings. You and your agent should be on the same page at all times and a plan of action will help ensure that.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>5) How to price your house to sell</strong></h3>



<p>Now is the time to find out what price you should list your home. You can start by using online tools to help you get an idea of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.redfin.com/what-is-my-home-worth">what your home is worth</a>. However, you should never set your sights on a single number and expect it to happen. Market conditions change all the time and so does buyer behavior.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Another option is to conduct an appraisal. Home appraisers are licensed professionals that will assess the value of your house based on the state of your property and overall housing market conditions. They will look at the size of your property, the interior and exterior conditions of your house, any upgrades, additions, or home improvements you’ve done, and then calculate your home’s worth based on the local market conditions.</p>



<p>Looking at comparables of recently sold homes in your area will also help you settle on a price. These homes should be similar in size, location, and sold within the last few months. Furthermore, you want to be strategic about your pricing. Instead of lumping the price of your house in with others in the area, strategize your pricing based on your home’s selling features. In other words, if there are three houses for sale in your area and they are priced at $350,000, you might be able to justify $360,000 or more because you have a larger lot size or maybe you’re located in a popular neighborhood.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>6) Stage your home to sell&nbsp;</strong></h3>



<p>If you don’t deem yourself a design-minded individual, consider hiring a professional home stager to help. Given the current climate, however, not everyone necessarily wants a professional stager to enter their house. Luckily, many staging services offer virtual consultations as a popular alternative. Regardless if you work with a professional or handle the staging on your own, here is a list of things to consider that will really help you make your house shine:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>Clear the clutter</strong>: You may have already transferred most of your belongings to a storage unit by this point. Now is the time to focus on cleaning up the clutter on countertops and tables. Put away newspapers, mail, or magazines, or if you have children, help them pick up their toys.</li><li><strong>Deep clean your house</strong>: Nothing turns off buyers more than an unclean bathroom. That is also true for the rest of your house. Now more than ever is the time to wash your windows, windowsills, and scrub your grimy glass shower doors.</li><li><strong>Add white accents</strong>: White accents such as flowers or towels in the bathroom create a sense of welcome cleanliness.</li><li><strong>Arrange furniture</strong>: You don’t have to necessarily rent furniture to stage your home. You can most likely use what you have. The key is to limit the number of furniture pieces in any one room. Then arrange them in a way that’s inviting to people as they enter the room.</li><li><strong>Bring in light</strong>: Think about removing your curtains or keeping them drawn back to allow as much light into your house as possible. If you have rather large elaborate curtains, consider storing them away until you get to your next home.</li><li><strong>Highlight your floors</strong>: Floors are a key feature homebuyers are looking at, especially if you have wood floors. Show them off by removing any rugs or unneeded furniture so more of your flooring can be seen. If you have wood floors, think about polishing them to really make them pop.</li><li><strong>Organize all closets and drawers</strong>: Homebuyers touring your home will most likely look in your closets to determine space and, frankly, to see if their stuff will fit in there. They will also likely open kitchen drawers and cabinets as well, so make sure everything is nice and tidy.</li><li><strong>Dust</strong>: Concentrate on all the areas that you’ve most likely have turned a blind eye to for some time, like ceiling fans, baseboards, on top of doorways, appliances, etc.</li></ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/3250-Hield-Rd-17-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-914" srcset="https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/3250-Hield-Rd-17-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/3250-Hield-Rd-17-scaled-600x400.jpg 600w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/3250-Hield-Rd-17-300x200.jpg 300w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/3250-Hield-Rd-17-768x512.jpg 768w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/3250-Hield-Rd-17-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/3250-Hield-Rd-17-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/3250-Hield-Rd-17-scaled.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption>For more information contact David Allen Productions at David@DavidAllenProductions.com</figcaption></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>7) Get professional photos taken of your home</strong></h3>



<p>Nothing sells a house faster than&nbsp;<a href="http://davidallenproductions.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">professional photos</a>. This is especially true now, as many prospective buyers are conducting their home search completely online due to the coronavirus. Put yourself in the buyer’s shoes. They are searching online, looking at every home that comes up for sale within their filtered interests the moment it’s listed. If your house is represented online by poorly shot photography, your listing will see very little traffic. Not to mention, it’s widely observed that houses with professionally shot photos, on average, sell for more money than other listings.</p>



<p>When planning how to sell your house, you should also strongly consider having your home digitally scanned for an online <a href="https://davidallenproductions.com/real-estate-videography/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">3D tour</a>. These 3D walkthroughs, where you point and click through a home from your computer, are more than 5 times as popular now as they were before the pandemic. And with more buyers buying from out-of-town, a 3D walkthrough can help out-of-town buyers decide whether to make an offer on your home before they have a chance to see it in person.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Lastly, <a href="https://davidallenproductions.com/real-estate-videography/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">aerial photography</a> that shows a bird’s eye view of one’s home and its surrounding area has become increasingly popular with buyers looking online. Many agencies include some or all of these services as a component of their overall services to you as a seller. Just remember, the better you represent your house online, the faster it will sell.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>8) List your home to sell</strong></h4>



<p>Your real estate agent will list your home online on MLS (Multiple Listing Service), in order for it to start showing up on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.redfin.com/">real estate websites</a>&nbsp;for potential buyers. Also, don’t limit the marketing of your house to your real estate agent and online search. Market your house yourself. Spread the word through your family and friends. Share your listing on social media and send out emails asking people to share your listing with others.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/3250-Hield-Rd-55-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-915" srcset="https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/3250-Hield-Rd-55-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/3250-Hield-Rd-55-scaled-600x400.jpg 600w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/3250-Hield-Rd-55-300x200.jpg 300w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/3250-Hield-Rd-55-768x512.jpg 768w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/3250-Hield-Rd-55-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/3250-Hield-Rd-55-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://davidallenproductions.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/3250-Hield-Rd-55-scaled.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption>For more information contact David Allen Productions at David@DavidAllenProductions.com</figcaption></figure>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>9) Have a plan in case your home doesn’t sell quick enough</strong></h4>



<p>You and your real estate agent should have already gone over this beforehand, but not every house sells quickly. There are many factors at play and depending on the condition of the housing market for your area, your real estate agent may have to use some other strategies in their arsenal to get your house sold. If it’s lowering the price of your home or holding more tours, you’ll want to agree on what the next steps should be in case your house isn’t seeing any offers.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>10) Negotiate the sale price of your home</strong></h4>



<p>One thing to consider is that the buyer is trying to get the absolute best price they can, while you’re doing the exact same. There will be multiple factors to consider, as each home sold and purchased is different. For example, if it’s a buyer’s market, that means the buyer has the upper hand because there are multiple listings with fewer offers being made. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to make huge concessions in order to sell your house.</p>



<p>This is where your agent really steps up. They will help you navigate the<a href="https://www.investopedia.com/articles/mortgages-real-estate/12/playing-hardball-when-selling-your-home.asp">&nbsp;negotiation process</a>, and will give you their advice on how to proceed when offers are being made. Luckily, you interviewed and hired the right agent, so you know they have your best interests in mind.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>11) Sign and close</strong></h4>



<p>You and your agent have been working towards this moment. You’ve agreed on a price with the buyers, all inspections and appraisals of your home have been completed, and you are now ready to sign the papers and close. To comply with social distancing guidelines, some states are now allowing completely electronic closings, called&nbsp;<a href="https://www.redfin.com/guides/how-do-eclosings-work">eClosings</a>. Once you’ve signed all of the paperwork – congratulations, you’ve sold your house!&nbsp;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are reading this, you are probably asking yourself, <em>Why should I hire a professional real estate photographer for my listings?   I have a cell phone and, as a result, I can just do it myself and save a few hundred dollars</em>. You wouldn’t expect a client to sell the home themselves because you know the importance of hiring a professional, similarily, it is just as important to hire a professional for your photographs.&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Here are 5 reasons why you should hire a professional real estate photographer.</strong></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>More professional&nbsp; </strong></h4>



<p>The Professional Real Estate Photographer brings more than a fancy camera with them.  They also bring their training, experience, and an eye for composition.  As a result,  using them will give you better photos than with your cell phone. That, in turn, will portray a more professional look and feel to your brand. Your customers will know that they are in good hands.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Professional images attract more buyers</strong></h4>



<p>The higher the quality of the images that are seen online equals the more attention that your listing will gain. According to the National Association of Realtors, “… 89% of home buyers who searched for a home on the internet found photos to be among the most useful features of REALTOR® websites, according to the&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://store.realtor.org/product/report/2017-profile-home-buyers-and-sellers-download?sku=E186-45-17">2017 NAR Profile of Home Buyers &amp; Sellers</a>?”. This means that to reach the most potential buyers, high-quality imaging is crucial.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Gives you a competitive edge</strong></h4>



<p>Home sellers often choose the listing agent that uses a professional photographer. Home sellers know that professional photos will help their home sell quicker and for more money. To stand out in your area as a listing agent, professional photos will set you apart from your competition</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong> Saves you time</strong></h4>



<p>Taking photographs of a property can be a stressful and time-consuming process. When deciding whether to hire a photographer, you have to determine the opportunity cost and not the actual cost of hiring a professional real estate photographer. What will you do with the time gained by hiring a professional? If you decide to take the photos yourself, it does not just involve the time on-site to photograph the home. After the images are taken,  the photos have to be uploaded, properly sized, and edited. By hiring a photographer, you take the stress and the time involved away from you and, as a result, you can focus on more income-generating activities.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Sell the property faster and for a higher price </strong></h4>



<p>Homes with professional photography sell faster and for more money. Homes with professional photographs get more attention and seem more appealing. A buyer will unconsciously assign a higher value to a home with great photos versus one with bad photos. According to a Redfin study, homes with professional photographs sell 2-3 weeks faster and for thousands more than those using amateur photography.</p>



<p>Potential home buyers want to see themselves living in a beautiful home. Professional photographs can help them envision that. </p>



<p>In conclusion, offering professional photography has tremendous value not only for them but for the listing agent as well.</p>
