Carl Bailey Photography started back in 2013 as a way to share my travels with family and friends. It quickly changed into images being sold nationally and internationally. I have been published in magazines and even had the cover of a magazine based out of the Tampa area. My love of photography allowed me to serve as the Vice President of the Orlando Camera Club where I continued to grow and learn from some amazing photographers.
Real Estate Photography was a natural direction because I wanted my own listings to really stand out.
I immediately saw the results of adding my photography skills to my listings. One example: Full Asking price in less than 8 hours of going active! However, my favorite example so far: I sold a RV lot in a RV/Golf Resort that had been listed previously with another agent for 2 years with no showings or offers. I took the expired listing, did my photography with a video tour of the property and ended up selling the lot...sight unseen in just over two months...during the off season!! Professional Photography gets listings noticed and more importantly, it gets people in the door to see them.
Just some very quick facts to learn about the benefit of hiring a professional photographer like me to do your next listing:
Professional Photography adds up to 61% more online traffic to a listing and considering that roughly 80% of buyers are looking online to find their next home...
In a case study by IMOTO, all the way back in 2010...
Listings using professional photography sold 50% faster and 39% closer to the original listing price than similar homes without professional photos.
Wouldn't you agree then that those first impressions online are worth a lot more than if you just snap photos with your point and shoot camera or your smart phone?
