Saves time
Great photography not only requires time at the photo shoot, it requires time for editing and uploading. Realtors are at their best when listing, showing and selling properties. Don't take time away from what you do best to shoot and edit photos. Hire me to do what I do best.

Maintaining consistent quality across all of your listings shows your willingness to provide a high level of service to all of your customers.
Q: What is the best time of day to photograph a home?
A: The best times to shoot an exterior are East facing in the early morning and West facing in the early evening. The North and South facing can be done morning or evening, but preferably not the middle of the day when shadows are the harshest. This also applies to interior photographs. I try to use available light, or natural sunlight, as much as I can. .
It's worthwhile for your client to let you know when the sun looks great on the exterior of the house or what time an important room looks best during the day. If scheduling is left up to me, I usually look at Google Maps to determine the direction the front of the home faces to assure that I'm photographing at the appropriate time.
