The Real Real Reason for Professional Pictures

Why Go Pro? Easy…
Our pictures are always shot with the latest professional cameras made by Canon because they have the large lenses, flash units, and the ability to use custom settings we need. These are not point and shoot birthday party cameras. They are the real thing!
With small cameras, you can’t capture the picture you need… period. The lens is too small, the ccd chip is too small to capture the detail, and the flash isn’t large enough to light the area you need to see.
Never mind that the pictures don’t show the property in the right light, actually, there is an even bigger reason for you to use digital magic productions… Your pictures may actually be costing you sales, and listings. Consider this….
When you place a for sale sign in the front yard, the very first people that look at the property are the neighbors. .. and 16% of those neighbors are going to be selling their house in the next 90 days and they just don’t know it yet. Keep in mind that life changes are always happening and because of death, divorce, job transfer, or even a new member to the family, these folks are going to be compelled to call someone. So because you have a listing near them, they may be compelled to call you.
Now if you have taken pictures that are “good enough” and the neighbors that just decided they need to sell don’t like your presentation… guess what, they will absolutely call someone else that has better pictures and marketing. Sorry, but you just lost that listing because “good enough” isn’t really good enough.
The next scenario is similar… Mr & Mrs Buyer are sitting at the kitchen table flipping through listings and they click on your listing and they click off right away because the pictures were “not good enough” for them. They were “good enough” for you, but the buyer didn’t get to see all of the intricate details of the home because the pictures were dark, not formatted properly and too small to see anything. Mr & Mrs Buyer just went to see some other listing that had great pictures, and you just lost that sale… “good enough” just “wasn’t good enough” again.
These two scenarios are very real and we hear about them happening almost daily, and the thing I just don’t understand is why any agent would think that a professional photography package from Digital Magic Productions costs too much when in reality you are willing to bet your entire commission on your pictures because they are “good enough”.
The way I see it, unless you have had some training in photography, and have the right kind of gear to take the pictures with, you should leave this job to the professionals. In the long run, we’ll help you make your sale happen.

ProHomeSites.com the Best in Marketing Real Estate

It’s been awhile since I’ve written a post here, but many things have changed, like our name. We are still Digital Magic Productions, Inc. but we are now doing business as ProHomeSites.com®, and for good reason.

ProHomeSites.com® is our fantasy upgrade to our virtual tours products that we have offered since our inception, but now these products are available to a whole new market, with a much larger list of features.

ProHomeSites.com® is designed to deliver premium home sites to anyone selling their home, apartment buildings, commercial buildings, FSBO’s, and doing rental units. It covers the full spectrum of real estate and it does it with a very robust interface that will accept any kind of photography, virtual tour, or movie without the hassles of converting formats or downsizing images.

Real estate agents love the format because it has been designed from the ground up to be 100% REITS compatible, and allows the agent a full marketing site for their listings that can be customized to their marketing requirements without having to pay for additional programming.

The sites are very flexible too. Without having to change sites, an agent can start package as a pre-listing package, then convert it to a listing package when the listing is secured, and then convert to a marketing package when the property is sold, all with just a click of their mouse.

Every ProHomeSite comes complete with a property specific blog, CraigsList ad generator, satellite view, brochures and the ability to display up to 255 pictures of the property. The agent can even upload full movies of the property, or marketing movies of themselves, or both for no extra charge.

Professional photography options are available in specific cities, however, the launch of our new affiliate program will allow us to have certified photographers throughout the country soon. Each affiliate will have full access to our complete line of products and will be able to post directly to ProHomeSites.com®.

So, as you can see, we’ve been busy, a lot busier than just a changing the name. We’ve moved into a new area and want you to know that we are on the move.
