Professional Photography for Listings - Cheapest way to get Top Dollar for your Property

Professional Photography and Real Estate Listings in Vancouver By Mike Stewart

It has been said that a picture says a thousand words.

What do terrible Listing Photographs say about the value of your home?

Poor listing photography undervalues your property and will never convey how beautifully maintained and decorated your home is. Here in Vancouver, terrible (or non-existent) photography for listings is RAMPANT! Have a quick look on Realtor.ca and you can see how many listings have either bad or non-existent photos.

For the worst of the worst check out the blog It's a Lovely Listing for a good laugh.

Getting a professional photography is one of the best ways to get top dollar for your home. I have all my listings shot by the great folks at the Real Estate Channel and as you can see they do a great job.

So remember - If you want to get top dollar when you sell a property, get professional photography!

I’d love to hear your thoughts in the form of a comment on my Vancouver Real Estate blog!

Pet Lovers! Buying a Condo? Watch This Video Before You Buy!

Condo Pet Restrictions in Vancouver By Mike Stewart

Many people (like me!) think of their pets as being part of the family. When buying a condo people often overlook whether or not their pet will be welcome or allowed in the building they are buying. This oversight can be very expensive.

In the video and my recent Real Estate Blog post, I relate the story of my client who bought a place privately before he met me, only to realise there were no pets allowed in his new condo. He had to sell this place and buy a new place it is was not cheap. Always check those pet restrictions!
