Portfolio Tips for Realtors and Home Staging professionals

Because I am privileged to be both a licensed Realtor and certified Home Staging professional in Pittsburgh, photography not only sells my listings -  it sells my services.  Here are a few tips to create a selling tool that won't break your budget.

  • Plan your project by finished size. I like 11x17 landscape for the overall impact of the before and after shots for staging. Itoya art profolios and Florence Art porfolios are a bargain for this type, with most under $ 30.00        Benefit: change out the photo pages as you wish allowing custom presentations, tuck in your biography, copies of certifications, etc.  A lesser expensive permanently bound version can be created online or in any number of stores with a digital photo department. Benefit: design a custom cover in your own color branding, for under $ 30.00 perfect to keep several with you should you wish to leave with a potential client for a day or so.
  • Limit the number of page views. The idea is to make an impact, but after about two dozen pages, interest will drop.  Twenty four photos are my limit.
  • Include your bio, mission statement, copies of certifications / awards/ press releases
  • Use the same format throughout such as side by side photos on a black background
  • If your presenation will have different sections, divide with a full page photo or collage type to define the change
  • Include brochures, rate cards, business cards in the binder if possible

To your continued success!
