As a Realtor, I face many challenges when it comes to helping people buy or sell a home. One of the challenges I was able to overcome was getting enough buyers to view the properties I had listed. I was with a previous brokerage office. I was very discouraged with the Team and it’s inability to effectively lead a group of newer agents with empty promises ( worst experience of my life) After changing offices I knew I was going to be faced with the same issues however, I knew at this point it would be up to me to make the decisions, that would lead to success. I had a property that had 1 showing in 23 days, Cautiously I decided to hire a photographer to take better photos of the home and see if that helped. Did it ever. I called Matt at Lux pictures since I had been seeing him at a network function, I needed to get this home seen. He showed up and photographed the property I then exchanged the smartphone photos with the ones he took that Wednesday and had 6 showings that weekend. I then received a call from an out of town buyer who asked that I video the property for him which I did the next morning. Tuesday he called me and put a cash offer on the property which was accepted and closed in 12 days. He had still not seen the house in person. 30 days later he showed up with his family and moving truck called and couldn’t thank me enough, they absolutely loved the place from the photos. I decided to use Lux Picture for the next 5 properties I listed. The results were amazing. Sold 6 hours, Sold 3 Days. Sold 13 days, Sold 4 days, Sold 26 days. I averaged 8.7 days from listing appointment to contract and 3 of the 5 sold for asking price or more. I don’t know if the photos sell the properties but I do know, it definitely got me more showing requests and therefore more exposure to sell. I just listed a new property that Lux Picture photographed and have 2 requests for showings within 1 hour of posting, I really like using Lux Pictures for the reason they do so much more than email pictures, they have an entire web team dedicated to getting your properties exposed and work closely with search engines to make sure you’re seen. The results speak for themselves and it’s worth every penny.
