If you are looking for a "Real Estate Photographer near me", look no further.
Welcome to CE Real Estate Media, where we understand the power of visual storytelling in the real estate world. If you're a realtor looking to make your property listings stand out, you're in the right place! Our blog is dedicated to showcasing the immense impact professional photography and videography can have on your listings, ultimately helping you attract more clients and close deals faster.
The Visual Advantage:
With the continuous demand for convenience, almost every home buyer uses the internet to search for potential homes.
Showcasing a property in the best light is critical to reeling in potential buyers interest.
Professional Photos help contribute to a property's perceived value, just by standing out in an endless sea of houses for sale.
Virtual Tours: Bringing Properties to Life:
We all know Virtual Tours took a rise in popularity when COVID-19 was at it's peak. With an emersive experience for buyers, this option was perfect to showcase a property without the risk of contact/exposure. Although they are still useful today, the demand isn't really there in todays market. You'll see this service being used primarily for unique listings or more luxurious listings.
Drone Videography and Photography: A Bird's Eye View of Listings:
You're not just selling the property, you're selling the area! Don't just say the house is minutes away from downtown, SHOW them with an Aerial Persepctive!
The Power of Storytelling Through Visuals:
Storytelling enhances the appeal of property listings by giving the buyer the experience of seeing themselves in that property. Especially if the listing is locally staged or virtually staged. Lets say you're listing a property in a gated community with amazing amenities such as tennis courts, a golf course, and maybe a local brewery or winery down the road with the hills of the valley in the background. Using Professional Photos alone, you’re giving that potential buyer a perfect scope into what it would be like to LIVE in that community! Thus, streamlining the process of solidifying your buyer and not only being the hero of their home buying experience, but aquiring your ROI faster.
Before and After: Transformative Visuals for Listings:
Unedited vs Edited vs Virtually Staged
The premium editing alone changes the dynamic of a simple empty space.
With our experience, we can bring out real colors that the orginal photo was lacking due to the different temperatures/colors of both the natural and interior lighting. As you can see, the warm lights threw off the white balance of the kitchen. The added natural light bouncing off the floor with the green grass outside, and the combination of both light sources created a warm greenish hue to the white walls.
Then, with a little bit of editing magic, we have a perfectly placed virtual staged photo! Giving the buyer a sense of depth of the space, creating a flood of ideas and evoked emotion from the buyer to be compelled to start to imagine how THEY would decorate that space!

Cost-Effective Visual Solutions for Realtors:
"Proffesional Photos are Expensive"
Perhaps thats true for other media groups. And sometimes you get what you pay for. Theres a sense of insurnace and security knowing that if you pay this much, it must be good. We try to make pricing straight forward and reasonable. Sometimes you get a listing that has 3,000sqrft and have to pay the 2500sqrft + pacakage for an old townhome that you really only need 10-15 photos for. And thats how we came up with our pricing structure! We base it off of how many photos you want! Starting out at $135 for 10-15 Photos! (with a 12 to 24 hour turnaround)
The return on investment (ROI) of investing in professional photography and videography couldn’t be any better. You get more buyers clicking on your listing because the crisp photos boost the apparent value of the home, which gets them to be more likely to visist your listing rather than Joe Shmoe who listed their property with unflattering phone photos that crops almost half of the room OR makes the room look A LOT bigger than it really is. You can do so much with your phone these days, and I encourage clients to take advantage of their new phones to take selfie videos and even highlight clips of the kitchen, fireplace, balcony etc., but to upload photos to the MLS and other listing services, you will definitely want professional photos over phone photos.
Stay Ahead of the Curve: Trends in Real Estate Visual Marketing:
This is, what the kids call, a Speed Ramp Reel! A fun Short Form Video Walkthrough that quickly highlights the rooms and exteriors of a listing in under 60 seconds!
One Tip for realtors to stay current and incorporate new trends into their marketing strategy would be to try and incorporate a few highlight clips using your phone! Theres TONS of apps and templates, even using Instagram, that can help produce content like this below!
With the never ending growth of content creation and social media, everyones attention span gets shorter and shorter. So you want to keep your videos short with attention grabbing details! For example, you can record yourself talking about what the market is doing this week and why the viewer needs to hear about it. "You would not believe how easy it is to_______." "THIS is why YOU haven’t heard of sellers paying for closing costs."
People want solutions to problems they never even knew they had. Buyers want someone who is informative, someone they can trust with no obligation. The same reason why I'm starting this blog! I want to help folks like yourself learn about the latest trends, how to get an edge on your comeptition with tips and tricks that I've seen come to fruition without making YOU feel obligated to work with me. Sure I'd love to work with everyone, but really
I want my community to feel like they can trust me.
