Harry Lim ( website | blog ) is an Orlando area photographer specializing in interior and architecture photography. Days ago we read his post about how important can be real state photography to sold a house in record time. We were so impressed  that we contacted with him to share his post and this is the result. Thanks Harry for your time:

See this house? It languished on the Orlando market for 224 days.

It’s no wonder; with a photo like that who would want to come see it? A new realtor took over – one who understands the importance of professional photography for his listings. I shot it on February 28 and delivered the images the next day on March 1. On March 10 he told me a buyer had made an offer. So by my calculation, I believe the contract came in sometime between March 1 and March 9. To put it another way, after almost 8 months on the market, the home was under contract within 8 days after I took new photos.

Now I can’t say the photos alone sold the home; credit must be given to the Realtor. But I have no doubt the photos helped. Take a look at some before and after shots:

For the living room shot, my original composition was a little tighter. The realtor asked me to pull back a little to show the hallway. I took his suggestion and I like it. It opens up the room and gives you an idea of the space.

This is the second angle of the dining room. The first was a head on shot but this one shows the foyer and room off to the left.

Isn’t it clear how having good images can attract more potential buyers? I am always amazed how most Realtors refuse to pay for professional photos. It’s something I’ll be writing about more in a future post.
