Brad, I hear you and understand the logic. Applying the same logic from the photographers point of view. Once they shoot the listing and deliver the images that is their closing. They have fulfilled the contract, you the client have the finished product. There aren't many willing to work on that basis, The home inspector, repair people, appraiser, they don't wait till closing. The only one we have around here is the termite inspection guy and he will wait till closing but has more sales fall out of escrow even he is changing that policy. Like signs and all the other things we do to market our listings photos are a part of business. And in real estate a very big part. I just wrote a post at ReImaging on Photos Sell Real Estate. I know they are a driving factor in our business. It is one of the reasons I started the ReImaging Lab. To help as many agents as possible have great eye catching photos for their listings.

Cool service. I might give this a try with my next listing photos. I'm constantly back and forth between me taking the photos or a pro taking the photos. I think the biggest issue for us Agents is the upfront cost of the Pro. If more Pro's could work out a payment system that would get them paid after closing, the more work and cash the Pro's could have.

It is amazing what you can do (or have done) to a digital photo these days. My father is very into photography and has a ton of photoshop plugins and other programs to refinish photos. I'll have to tell him about this. Athol! Nice hearing from you. Don't be a stranger. Charles Richey´s last blog post..Las Vegas Housing Market: Foreclosures Down, Sales Up

Athol,

Holy Buckets, it is great to hear from you. I don’t like what has become the HDR Look. I think most over saturate and make them look nothing like a photograph. My goal has been to process images using HDR but having them look like photos. To the point people have to ask “Are those HDR?”

Of course every no and then it is fun to over saturate a bit. But when processing for listing photos, I work to make them as photo “like” as possible, while bringing out the full spectrum of light.

WOW, Great to hear from you. Hope all is going well. I’m sure Bristol is beautiful right now. Would love to visit there again.

Looks very interesting, though I’m not wild about the HDR look myself. RAW will obviously give better results than bracketed JPGs as lining things up is always a chore.

Thanks for the shout out for the memories.

Keep up the good work!

The post title was rather cryptic, but here is the answer to Hosting past the 8 meg file limit.

It took me awhile to figure out how to set up my hosting so I could receive 100 meg files, but it was worth it. took two days to figure out though. I hope the end result is better quality property photos being uploaded everywhere.

This is a great service! I have a real estate listings website and the majority of the problems start when users upload images. It try to keep scripts up to date constantly trying to make the experience as simplre as possible but some one will always try to upload a 8mb photo hehe.

Well they seem to go further with this, actually enhancing the quality of the photos. Very nice.
