Professionally photographed homes sell faster and for more money than homes listed with point-and-shoot photos. A good photograph makes someone interested in seeing the property. A great photograph makes them feel like they've been there.

After getting the address of a property, I will look it up on Google Map to get an idea of how it's positioned and how the ambient light will affect the lighting conditions. A good photographer knows how to showcase the interiors while capturing the view outside the windows.
