I was cruzing around Active Rains google and came across this awesome and informative post that I thought this was a must read for our tight community of Active Rain Real Estate Professionals.

The #1 thing buyers look at first are photos!! Let's face it, we're all naturally attracted to visually appealing things. After all these years in real estate I strongly believe, no actually I'm convinced, that having GREAT QUALITY (not just good, but GREAT) photos makes a HUGE difference in attracting the quantity and quality of buyers! Let's face it, nice HD photos seem to hypnotize you.

Last week I figured out how to process my regular photos into HD with great results! Here's a sample:

 

This process took some time (about 20 minutes per photo) but the end result was 1000% worth it! I used a series of programs, scripts, actions, and styles in the Adobe Creative Suite. If you're a power user of Adobe Design software you're all set! I used a standard digital image and converted it into this.

For the photos gurus, no bracket shots. This was taken from a single (normal -- auto) exposure hand held digital camera.

I think the final version is awesome and something Im going to start doing from now on. Some extra time on photo processing seem worth it to make my photos POP and give my listing that extra little edge.

Pretty since huh?! Thoughts... feedback?

Hi, my name is Reuben Fine, I'm the founder, lead graphic designer, and real estate flyer template specialist for Turn-Key Flyers. Maybe you've seen me around the Internet, at Broker meetings, or at conferences, so I wanted to take this opportunity to say "hello" and share my story. 

I've been designing for the real estate industry since 2001 and have been exclusively retained by many of the top award winning brokers in the country. I'm a master at Photoshop, Illustrator, and Publisher; and my work has been featured in many popular magazines and all over the web. Graphic design is tough and laborious work, so creating "templates stocks" has been the key to my success and one of the main reason why I can turn-over marketing in a blink-of-an-eye. I realized that many agents (new and old) struggle with creating professionally branded marketing; often, agents can't justify the $100/hr rate many of the Top Producer can for simple flyers. Over the years I've created a "bank" of templates and have now built a new business around. These templates are the same design I use for $1,000,000 listings but in an even easier and straightforward than using complicated design software. I'd like to introduce you to...
