More and more Realtors and home sellers are taking advantage of the expertise of professional real estate photographers. In the slower market these days great photography is an obvious way to complete with all the other listings in this high inventory market.

I’ve been building a real estate photographer directory as a service to my blog readers ( about 75-80% of my readers are RE photographers ) over the last year or so. The directory is currently up to just over 130 photographers and has photographers in most of the large metro areas of the US, Canada, Australia and some photographers in the EU. I require any one listed in this directory to have examples of their work on their website so potential clients can review their work. I also encourage them all to have a telephone number in their contact information.

So if you are putting a home on the market you might give a professional real estate photographer near you a call. I think that it’s marketing dollars well spent in the long run.
