Success driven real estate agents are winning more listings and selling homes faster by leveraging the technology they already have. Photos, videos, 3D tours, floor plans, virtual staging and landing pages were once reserved for big teams with big budgets - but now everyday agents are competing with top producers by using nothing more than their cell phones and a drive to win.. all without taking on the risk of expensive, upfront marketing costs. In this podcast you will learn real and actionable steps on how to maximize your technology so that you will earn an outstanding reputation as a successful, professional real estate agent.
The trade-offs of photographing your own listings versus hiring a professional photographer for real estate listings include cost effectiveness, quality, time, and efficiency. Capturing your own listings may be a more cost-effective option, especially for smaller properties or those with smaller marketing budgets. However, professional photographers have the experience and skills to deliver high-quality results, which may be more important for some real estate agents. Additionally, hiring a professional photographer can save time, as it may be more efficient to delegate the task to someone else rather than doing it yourself. On the other hand, capturing your own listings can give you more control and flexibility over the process, and may allow you to respond quickly to any last-minute changes or updates. In this episode we'll be answering this question: "Hey Josh, I'm always looking for ways to save time and money while still delivering top-quality results to my clients. I'm curious, what are some of the main trade-offs you see when it comes to deciding between photographing your own listings or hiring a professional like yourself?"-Jacob D.
