Professional Photography for Listings – Cheapest way to get Top Dollar for your Property

Posted on June 15, 2009 by mike

Its been said that a picture says a Thousand Words…

What do terrible Listing Photographs say about the value of your home?

Poor listing photography undervalues your property and will never convey how beautifully maintained and decorated your home is. Here in Vancouver, terrible (or non-existent) photography for listings is RAMPANT! Have a quick look on Realtor.ca and you can see how many listings have either bad or non-existent photos.

For the worst of the worst check out the blog Its a Lovely Listing for a good laugh.

Getting a professional photography is one of the best ways to get top dollar for your home. I have all my listings shot by John Bentley at the Real Estate Channel and as you can see they do a great job.

So remember – If you want to get top dollar when you sell a property, get professional photography!
