This Is Why."},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First impressions are everything, especially in home buying. A gorgeous exterior vs. a crummy one decides whether you walk in the front door. Inside, spotless interiors are more likely to inspire a life there than a cluttered house that\u2019s clearly, well, someone else\u2019s home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And while this is where <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/home-staging-tips-to-sell-home-redfin-concierge\/\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">staging can play a huge role<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it\u2019s the listing pictures buyers see online that is often the first barrier of entry. So they better be <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">really <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, a 2013 Redfin study found that homes professionally photographed with high-performance Digital Single-Lens Reflex (DSLR) sold quicker and for thousands of dollars, more than homes shot with amateur photos. DSLR cameras are also the preferred camera of Redin\u2019s national photography manager, Drew Larrigan. Redfin provides professional photography to all its listing clients, free of charge.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why Professional Real Estate Photos Sell Homes for More<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe iPhone is the number one camera on the market right now, but we are still very far from it replacing a DSLR, which offers a higher quality image with higher pixelation. It\u2019s the level necessary in this business, that will be continued to be used in the market for years to come.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But you need more than just a fancy high-tech camera, you also need the know-how. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe number one thing people get wrong with listing photography is having the mindset that anyone can do it and deliver a beautiful photo,\u201d he said. \u201cThere is a lot of behind-the-scenes work you don\u2019t see, capturing layers of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/home-theater\/what-is-hdr-tv\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">High Dynamic Range<\/a> (HDR) images to create one beautiful shot.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Layers, he explained refers to multiple exposures. \u201cThis allows us to highlight shadows and bring out brightness or darkness through the windows. And then you stack those layers, which creates the beautiful windows in our photos.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As online searching and browsing is a critical part of the home-buying process, it makes sense that professional photos will entice people to visit the home as they know what they are getting before they even set foot in the home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cToday we have <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/sight-unseen-offers\/\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more shoppers buying from abroad or out of state<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and making an offer sight unseen, and really want to see a home documented,\u201d Drew said. \u201cThey want to see every corner of the home, and that\u2019s the beauty of the DSLR is offering a resolution that allows the out of state or city buyer a chance to see the home in full.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Amateur vs. Professional Real Estate Photos<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To see these differences in action, Drew shared listing photos comparing those shot by an amateur, and those professionally photographed. \u201cThese examples are a chance to really look at the data visually, of the difference between a team approach that builds out quality, versus independent third parties,\u201d he said. \u201cIt goes to show how important it is for Redfin to offer quality to the client, and how important it is to make sure our listings are as beautiful as possible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-65855\" class=\"align-none\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Image1.jpg\" alt=\"Home entry way side by side real estate photos\" width=\"836\" height=\"322\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"\" data-license-id=\"\" data-licensor-name=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the above photo to the left, the photographer attempts to connect the front door with the dining area, but in the process, misses all the wonderful entry storage, and the white walls look brown. Redfin\u2019s professional photo on the right chose to instead focus on the expansive hallway, beautiful entry, great storage, and crisp color tones. The professional photographer fully utilizes this space and frames key assets in the hallway.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-65856\" class=\"align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Image2.jpg\" alt=\"Dining room real estate photos with professional camera\" width=\"831\" height=\"314\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"\" data-license-id=\"\" data-licensor-name=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIn the professionally shot photo above on the right, the color tones, wood tones, and white balance are perfect. The walls are WHITE. The frame orientation is centered around the chandelier and the photo invites you into this room. In contrast, in the other photo, the room appears to be leaning, the white balance is off, and the colors are dark, almost reddish.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-65857\" class=\"align-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Image3.jpg\" alt=\"Master bedroom listing photos side by side\" width=\"839\" height=\"318\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"\" data-license-id=\"\" data-licensor-name=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOnce again, a<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">proper color balance comes into play here. When incorrect, the master bedroom feels small. It also misses an opportunity to show the adjoining bathroom. The composition should highlight the full room to its entirety.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-65853\" class=\"align-none\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Image4.jpg\" alt=\"Master bathroom professional real estate photos \" width=\"833\" height=\"311\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"\" data-license-id=\"\" data-licensor-name=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis bathroom is bright and light but the white balance is off, and as a result, the images miss key features like the upscale shower head, vanity and lighting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-65854\" class=\"align-none\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/Image5.jpg\" alt=\"Exterior of brick home shot with real estate photography\" width=\"829\" height=\"312\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"\" data-license-id=\"\" data-licensor-name=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn the first photo, your eye is drawn to other objects, rather than the house itself. The basketball hoop, open umbrella, neighbors to the left and right are distracting and more obvious. Additionally, the home isn&#8217;t centered, and the lens distortion bends the horizon line. When photographed correctly, you will notice the sky and the framing. This is a shot that is composed, center and square. The color tones are natural and the backyard feels private.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Homes professionally photographed with DSLR cameras are proven to sell quicker and for thousands of dollars more than homes shot with amateur photos.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspired by Drew\u2019s insight, we took a look back at the 2013 study. The data revealed that professionally photographed homes priced in the $400,000 range sold three weeks faster and for more than $10,000 relative to their list price, than their counterparts with amateur photos.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17241\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17241\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/sell-faster-with-professional-photos.png\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-17241\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/sell-faster-with-professional-photos.png\" alt=\"For each price range, the days indicate how much faster a professionally photographed home sold compared to a home with amateur photos.\" width=\"525\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17241\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Data 2013 study by Redfin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 2013 findings also found that homes <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">listed between $200,000 and $1 million sold for $3,400 to $11,200 more relative to their list prices when photographed professionally with a DSLR camera. At the high end of the spectrum, professionally photographed homes for more than $1 million sold at prices similar to those with amateur photographs. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17240\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17240\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/sell-closer-to-list-price-with-professional-photos.png\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-17240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/sell-closer-to-list-price-with-professional-photos.png\" alt=\"For each price range, the dollar figures indicate how much closer to list price professionally photographed homes sold versus amateur photographed homes.\" width=\"525\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17240\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Data based on 2013 Redfin study<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, The 2013 findings also looked at photo sharpness, or, the detail added to a picture by using a good camera, lens and lighting. Whether a crisp reflection, or bright flowers, a sharper picture will show a house in its best light. The sharpest 10 percent of photos sold at or above list price 44 percent of the time, while listings with average sharpness sold at or above list just 13 percent of the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17239\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17239\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/sell-above-list-price-with-sharp-photos.png\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-17239\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/sell-above-list-price-with-sharp-photos.png\" alt=\"Better looking, sharper photos are more likely to sell above list price\" width=\"525\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17239\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Data based on 2013 Redfin study<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"mceTemp\">Drone Photography<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drone photography is becoming increasingly popular within the real estate industry. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.v1dronemedia.com\/v1dronemedia-blog\/2020\/6\/12\/why-use-drones-in-real-estate-photography-and-video\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Aerial photography<\/a> provides agents and sellers with a new way to display property highlights, acreage, and features. Using drone photography for your real estate listing can show your home from a unique perspective. It can allow you to show the surrounding areas of your home in a single shot. As real estate drone photography is becoming more popular, many listings are still solely using traditional images to feature their home. Adding aerial images to your listing will draw more attention to your home and help you stand out among your competitors, potentially leading to a faster sale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aerial photographs were most common among luxury agents, solo agents with a large operating budget, and brokerages. These photos of listings were previously very expensive and cost agents and buyers a large sum of money. However, the invention of drones has significantly reduced this high cost and has given more buyers and sellers access to the latest affordable technology. While there are many things to take into consideration when hiring an aerial photographer, we suggest focusing on prospects with a developed portfolio, proper licensing, and favorable customer reviews. This will help you find the perfect aerial photographer for your listing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready to professionally photograph your home to list? <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/real-estate-photo-tips-for-sellers\/\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you\u2019ve completed these 10 steps first<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Investing in professional listing photos with DSLR cameras can earn thousands of dollars on your closing price. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":521,"featured_media":65878,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[34279],"tags":[3991,244],"coauthors":[27616],"class_list":["post-17231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-selling-a-home","tag-home-seller-tips","tag-staging"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.7 (Yoast SEO v27.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>To Sell Your Home for More Money, Professional Real Estate Photos Pay Off<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Homes with professional real estate photos sell quickly, and for more money than those with an amateur or point and shoot camera approach.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/professional-real-estate-photos-sell-homes-for-more\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Homes Listed with Professional Real Estate Photos Sell Quicker and For More Money.
