“Not many real estate agents are photographers” says Paul Scrimshaw, leading real estate Agent For Tommy’s Real Estate on the Kapiti Coast “and less still possess a quality camera with versatile lens and associated software to enhance photographs”.

There are millions of property photographs on real estate web sites and when you only have a picture working for you, it needs to be the best you can get.   Some useful tips are:

• Internal shots looking to outside the house need multiple shots cut and pasted to be of marketing value.
• The sky should be blue.
• Staged shots are critical when using 1/2 page and full page advertisements as are shots of higher resolution to avoid pixels showing.
• Pictures taken of a house in shade do nothing to promote the property.
• Driveways and fences are rarely the most appealing feature.
• Remove clutter from rooms and the garden before taking your pictures.
• Invest in a professional real estate photographer. They make your marketing investment of greater value.  It’s the first stage in your marketing programme.

On Saturday 18^th of September between 10am-2pm at Parparaumu Beach School, Gray Avenue.  Come on down and bring the whole family.  Rain or shine.  Markets, food, rides, games, raffles and more.
