Residential Photography
Premium or Basic Photography?
There are two Photography products we provide. HM-REP’s Premium Photography takes multiple frames per image, for them all to be merged and edited. The image from Premium Photography is a better representation of what the potential home buyer will see, as they can view through the window. The Basic photography is a more simple photography product, in which the photographer only takes one frame per image to be edited.
Examples are below
Aerial Photography
Aerial photography is a great way to showcase the proximity of your home to other neighborhood amenities. Whether it’s a park, pool, or community center – Aerial photography allows you to display the property with a completely new perspective.
Twilight Photography
Twilight photography is a series of photographs taken at sunset to highlight the beauty of your home. Add to your listings and showcase the home to a wider range of customers.
Virtual Staging
The look and feel of a property plays an important role in attracting buyers. Virtual Staging let’s you take advantage of the beauty of a staged home, without the headache and expense of home stagers. If the property is vacant, we can virtually stage the image to give it the feel that you want to portray.
