The Power of Professional Photography in Selling Your Colorado Springs Home
 
  • Cost of Real Estate Photography
    Professional photography typically costs between $150 and $500, depending on the number of pictures requested. Larger homes or additional services like aerial shots may increase the price.
  • Processing Time
    After the session, photos are processed and delivered within 2-3 business days, allowing your listing to hit the market quickly.
  • Preparation is Key
    • A clean and organized house is immensely crucial—both are non-negotiable for capturing high-quality images that showcase your property’s best features.
    • Remove noticeable clutter, dirt, personal items, obstructions, or anything that conflicts with the purpose of the photos.
    • Open blinds or curtains to let in natural light, which is essential for high-resolution photos with clarity and editability. All preparation must be completed before the photographer arrives.
  • Photography Session Duration
    For an average-sized home, the photography service takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours, ensuring every angle and detail is captured effectively.
  • Ownership of Photos
    Ownership belongs to whoever paid for the service—either the seller or the listing realtor—based on the listing agreement. If a seller terminates the agreement or relists with another agent later, ownership and cost responsibilities may need renegotiation.
  • Cost Considerations
    • In situations with significant clutter, dirtiness, obstructions, people in the way, or a conflict of interest, the listing agent may require the seller to pay for photography upfront. Alternatively, the realtor might take the photos themselves.
    • The negotiated realtor commission rate and the seller’s motivation affect who bears the cost. A lower commission means less revenue for the realtor, increasing their risk if they cover photography expenses—especially if the seller has low motivation and is willing to keep the house listed for a long time without a guaranteed sale.
  • Why High-Quality Photography is Essential
    • In a buyer’s market, extremely high-quality photography is extraordinarily necessary to make your property stand out among the competition.
    • Great pictures lure potential buyers to view the property, often looking better than the home does in person. While some may see this as a downside, it’s a positive—it gets buyers through the door, and stunning photos can convince them over time to pursue your home.
    • Photography enhances visuals: rooms look bigger, brighter, and colors are more vibrant, creating an irresistible first impression.
  • Impact on Sales
    • Listings with professional photography attract more buyers and sell faster. Industry studies, such as those from the National Association of Realtors, show homes with high-quality photos can sell up to 32% faster than those without.
    • Good photography statistically increases a home’s value—properties with professional images often fetch higher prices and more online views, driving interest and offers.

    • We offer free 2D floor plan mapping with standard listings, allowing buyers to see the layout, room placement, sinks, showers, doorways, and levels alongside the photos.
