When a home or property is listed For Sale, one of the most important marketing tools is photographs.
The photos of a property will often mean the difference between potential buyers coming to see the home or looking at others first.

Anyone can take pictures.  We all have digital cameras now.  But for what it costs to have professional photographs, there is no reason to do it yourself.
 
The photos you are using now are probably just fine, but I feel I can make you, the realtor, appear more professional, and be more successful in selling or renting your property or home.

Reviews -

From the owner of a short term rental I photographed:
   "Holy crap that looks amazing!!!  I want to stay there!
       I can't believe how nice the pictures are!"

       "Thank you, great job!"                                     CLICK FOR PHOTO

​I had some clients a couple of years ago who,
​after they saw the photos, decided their home looked so good they choose not to sell it! 


Pricing Policy

Base price of $275.00 per property, including interior and exterior photographs, for 2,500 sq. ft. and under.

Please scroll down to see  Prices information below.

I usually spend about an hour to three hours shooting photographs, although I have spent as long as 7 hours.   
I normally take 150 to 300 photos of the property, then go back to my computer for editing.  I then spend about 3 to 5 hours selecting, rejecting, adjusting, changing the lighting and contrast, removing distortion, etc. to make the final results look appealing but not deceiving.

A day or two later, you get photos you can use for the multiple listing service, craigslist ads, flyers, or whatever you choose to help with the home sale.   Sometimes during times of high demand, it may take a week to get edited photos back to you, the customer.  I work alone, and when I'm busy shooting photos all day, it's impossible to keep up with the editing.  Please be patient.  I take my time for the sake of the final product.  If you are in a "I need it yesterday" mode, let me know ahead of time.
  

Important Information:

The only restriction is that you don't own the photos, and cannot resell them, transfer them to another person to use, give them, or in any way pass them on to be used by a third party.  The photographs remain the property of Hal Johnston/RC Photoworks.  They cannot be resold or given by you to another realtor or homeowner.  I do have options for getting those photos to a third party, but they cannot be transferred without the express written permission of me, Hal Johnston, and if someone would like them, they are welcome to contact me for information on how to get them for their use.
