HERE ARE 5 REASONS TO HIRE A PROFESSIONAL
1. Professional photographers are just that! Professionals. There is a really good chance that anytime you hire a professional, in any area, they will know how to best execute a project. Photographers spend countless hours mastering exposure, lighting, angles, editing and numerous other aspects to best capture your property.
2. Equipment. What type of camera should I use? What type of lense works best? What editing software should I use? These are all questions that a professional photographer can answer and better yet, they will already have the equipment designed for each situation.
3. Time. A good photographer will spend the time required at the property to capture as many photos as necessary to make your listing stand out. Do you have the time to spend 1-2 or more hours at the property taking the correct photos, getting the best angles and then an additional 1-2 hours editing the photos? Remember, the longer you spend taking photos and editing them, the less time you have to work with buyers or sellers.
4. Editing. Can't I just snap the picture and then upload it? Yes, yes you can. However, compare that same photo to a photographer who has spent the time editing the photos in order to get the best exposure, angle & lighting possible and the photos will be night and day, oil and water, apples and oranges. You get the idea, they don't compare.
