Real Estate Photography San Antonio | Extra Mile Real Estate Media 

 

IMPACT OF PROFESSIONAL REAL ESTATE MEDIA

Does media quality really influence buyer perception?

Professional quality photography directly impacts the appeal of a listing, also influencing a buyer’s first impressions along with the property’s perceived value. As the popular saying goes: “A picture is worth a thousand words.”

 

Will high-end photography help justify my asking price?

Impacting a property’s perceived value, high-end real estate photography highlights the condition and exceptional care taken of a particular property and has the potential to justify an asking price commensurate with this state.  

 

What’s the difference between amateur and professional real estate photos?

It is not difficult to differentiate between amateur and professional real estate photography. Amateur photos, typically taken with mobile devices such as an iPhone or Android version have good editing options available. However, professional photographers use specialized photography equipment and have expertise to optimize lighting, understand composition to capture the best viewpoints, and more. Advanced editing techniques are also used with these higher end images and clearly distinguish the difference between the two.

 

What types of real estate photography packages do you offer?

Extra Mile Real Estate Media | Real Estate Photography San Antonio offers multiple packages to meet our customers’ needs. Customization is also available upon request. Check out our website www.extramilerealestatemedia.com for more information or text or call us at 210-893-2424 with your specific questions. 

 

What’s included in a standard shoot?

For the standard MLS listing shoot, customers will receive a generous amount of interior and exterior photographs to ensure full coverage of the property. Drone photos of the exterior are also included at no upcharge. Prices are based on square footage of the property. Extra Mile Real Estate Media | Real Estate Photography San Antonio will also include community amenity photos upon request.

 

Is virtual staging available if the home is vacant?

Extra Mile Real Estate Media | Real Estate Photography San Antonio offers advanced editing services such as virtual staging providing online potential buyers a sense of what is possible for properties which are vacant.

 

How does listing media affect days on market?

Recent data confirms professional real estate photography is associated with a reduced number of days on the market – an average of 30% or more – in other words, quicker sales! High end photography is proven to provide that competitive edge by capturing potential buyers’ interest over listings with low-end photos.

 

Will drone photos help my home sell faster or for a higher price?

Drone photos provide unique perspectives or a property and its surrounding area, to include key points of interest. This type of imagery provides an enhancement to listings providing a competitive edge in the real estate industry. Recent data highlights listings with drone photos sell, on average, 68% faster than those listings without with a reported 10% increase in the listing price.

 

Is it worth paying extra for a video walkthrough?

The statistics more than confirm, virtual tours have a positive impact, including online engagement and time on market. With 50% of potential buyers reported to expect this option when comparing and evaluating potential homes to visit, real estate professionals risk losing half of their potential sales without integrating virtual tours into their listings. Other relevant and compelling statistics in favor of the use of virtual tours include a reported 90% of home buyers more likely to view properties with virtual tours included in the listing, 75% of those potential home buyers consider virtual tours a major factor in their purchasing decision, and finally homes with 3D tours can sell up to a reported 31% faster and are viewed more favorably by sellers than those without virtual tours. The trend is obvious in favor of virtual tours as an up-and-coming industry standard.

 

Do listings with aerial footage perform better online?

Drone footage not only provides unique perspectives of a property but also has the potential to portray properties as luxury or high-end listings, influencing the perceived value for potential buyers with reported accelerated sales due to compelling views. It certainly provides a competitive edge over listings without drone footage.

 

What’s the ROI of professional real estate photography when selling a home?

At a high level, the return on investment (ROI) for leveraging professional real estate media appears to support a solid business case for using these services.  Combining the reasonable cost of professional real estate photography services and the impact of several factors while considering the reported statistics including faster sales (30% faster), higher sales price ($3K-$10K+ more), it simply makes sense to make the investment. 

 

How can real estate media improve my social media ads? 

Social media is all about engagement. When seconds count, compelling images, showing a property and its key features in its best light can make all the difference. High-quality images posted on social media also help to extend the exposure of a listing in the fraction of the time as those posted on traditional sites such as MLS, Redfin, and the like. 

 

Do you offer 3D tours or Matterport? 

Extra Mile Real Estate Media | Real Estate Photography San Antonio offers 3D tours such as Matterport for a more immersive digital viewing capability. Homes with 3D tours can sell up to a reported 31% faster and are viewed more favorably by sellers than those without virtual tours. With a whopping 99% of sellers believing a virtual tour can give their listing a competitive edge and 82% of these say they would switch to a real estate professional who offers or leverages 3D tours, the trend is obvious in favor of virtual tours as an up-and-coming industry standard.

Twilight photos are simply images from a photoshoot taken during the hours of twilight in order to take advantage of the natural attractive lighting – either near sunrise or sunset. Digital twilight photos are those edited with backgrounds mimicking the lighting at twilight. Both are extremely popular and often are leveraged as home image of a listing to capture potential buyer’s interest.
