Professional Photo Packages

Gorgeous Photos Make the Difference!

Our photos make YOU the star! The most successful Realtors use ‘eye-candy’ photos. Buyers spend their time online scouring websites in search of a “wow” property they can afford. They’re looking at pictures, and your home has less than 5 seconds to stop them from clicking.

We know what it takes to make a great first impression, and we’ve been working with Orange County Realtors for 11 years. We work hard to get your property noticed and remembered. We use high-tech equipment and professional photographers. Then, each image is fine-tuned with Photoshop® and made to look its best. In many cases, the photos look better than the actual home!

The photos you see in this website are all original photos taken and produced by our company. None were scanned from new home brochures or copied from other websites.

Making new, high-end homes look great is easy. We also specialize in making average, and even ugly homes (the majority of agent listings) look their absolute best.

Your photos will be supplied to you both in high (print-sized) resolution, and in clear, fast-loading, web-optimized, MLS resolution. They are typically available for you to download the day following the shoot.

You’ve got the listing, now let’s get it sold fast, and for top dollar!

Starting at only $159 our packages include a professional Photo-Shoot producing quality Images for the MLS and for printing.

Getting Started

Getting Started is Easy!

Schedule Your Appointment on the Home page of this website and let us know the level of service you desire. Make sure to give yourself and the owner time for any preparations. You won’t pay until you receive a call from us and your appointment date and time is reserved. Appointments are confirmed with a paid PayPal invoice (a PayPal account is NOT necessary).

Prepare. Making sure the place is clean and free of clutter is important. Please see the article on the Preparations Page.

On the day of the shoot, make sure the photographer can enter the property, and be there to move any items, if necessary. The Photo-Shoot will normally take 1 to 3 hours, and it is normal for the photographer to take more pictures than are selected to process.

Receive your photos online. A link to download your photos will be sent to the email address you provided when you ordered. If you change your email address, please let us know.

Preparation

Preparation Makes a Big Difference!

Our on-site photo appointments allow for about one hour. The photographer will shoot the home in its present condition, perhaps straightening a few chairs and pillows, moving a trash basket, etc. So it’s important that the house be “photo-ready” at the scheduled time.

preparation

 

If the house is still occupied, then clutter can cause undesirable results in some of the shots. If clutter needs to be moved from one room into another, and back again, then the agent and a helper or two may be required to do the job quickly. In the before-after photo above, the agent and the owner moved all the tenant’s items on the counters into the dining room so the kitchen could be shot. Then, it all had to come back before shooting the dining room. If clutter is an issue, the best solution is to move it all into garage before the appointment.

The home will have much nicer curb appeal if there are no vehicles parked in the driveway or in front of the house (which is not always possible on public streets). Also, removing garden hoses, toys, debris, and making sure the grass is cut, will help the home to look its best.

And now some important words about lighting. Everyone wants to live in a home with a bright interior, or so it would seem. Sometimes window coverings block out much of the natural lighting. Low-wattage light bulbs save money, but when it comes time to sell the home, they only help the buyers to save money. Although camera settings, lighting equipment, and Photoshop tricks can brighten things up, photo quality will always be better if we’re not shooting in the dark. Prior to the photo shoot appointment, make sure that blinds and other window coverings can be opened; move any tall furniture that blocks windows or sliding doors; and tell the owner to put in the brightest light bulbs possible.
