Pictures on our listings are such an important marketing tool! I consider myself blessed to have a great photographer on staff. I accommodate her schedule to take courses as she is pursuing her degree in photography, and I benefit from her talent and great equipment. Let's face it. No matter how good my own picture taking might be, there are times when I need a better lens and a better understanding of lighting, etc.
I do my own photography. They are decent quality and I take a lot of photos. I have good equipment as well as formal photography education. I'm not a professional and would not hire a professional unless it was a special home well over $1mil.
Thanks Lisa, I agree. I use to take my own pictures and then had a listing where I had my photos and the professional side by side, that's what made me a believer in the value of professional photos. I have to admit that I am fortunate enough to work for a great company that pays for photos for our listing. This is awesome because I am now saving money and never short change a listing due to my budget.
Bill, I agree the exception would be if you have photography training and professional photography equipment.
