The key to putting on an outstanding listing presentation is putting in the necessary resources to make a presentation pop. Bev Langley understands the value of a good listing presentation, which is why she makes it a top priority.

Perhaps Langley’s biggest investment for a listing presentation goes into high-quality photography. Every real estate agent should hire a pro to take photos rather than snap photos on their less impressive smartphones.
“The most important thing is photography and it needs to be not from Beverly’s phone, and not from Beverly’s husband’s phone,” Langley said. “It needs to be the best photographer I know of and it needs to be the best system that I can find.” ~ Bev Langley
Langley suggests agents spend at least $600 on quality photography and acknowledges that if you don’t put money into photography, you probably won’t last long in the business.

Langley also lists staging, landscaping and property flyers as important qualities to sellers. All agents should be prepared to address each of these needs.

“They want to know about staging. I have an in-house staging lady that I use,” Langley said. “They want to know if I’m going to help with landscaping. I have landscaping people that I can recommend. They want to know about flyers and we have a sign with a flyer box. They want to know about brochures and we do a full color brochure.”

Langley’s lesson to agents is to always put the necessary resources into the listing presentation. The quality of your presentation could be the difference in the closing price.
​
“If you’re a brand new agent, it’s hard to do. But you have to graduate to that because you really have to spend money to make money.”

What's the difference between a MLS slideshow and video?

4/14/2017

0 Comments

 
Why do you need a slideshow if you request a video?
Answer: for video to appear on MLS it needs to appear in one movie file. To accomplish this we create a slideshow out of your MLS photos and then incorporate video into it. The completed movie file often consists of 3 or 4 video clips. Typically an introduction with aerial footage flying in the front door of the house, an outro of aerial footage flying away from the house and additional clips featuring unique features of the house.

Below is a very good example of a slideshow with video clips:

This movie consists of 3 video clips and a slideshow: Video clip #1 is aerial footage of Lake Hollingsworth in Lakeland, FL. It transitions into the slideshow at the 23 second mark. Video clip #2 begins at the 1:43 mark and circles around the house showcasing the carport and oversized lot. Video clip #3 begins at the 2:05 mark with an aerial video flying away from the home and back over Lake Hollingsworth.

What Is HDR Photography?

5/2/2016

​HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. It is a new technique that combines multiple photos with different exposures to produce a stunning final image. The result is a genuine picture of something real, but with a surreal and often jaw-dropping effect. Homes have never looked so good.

Before and After HDR Photography Examples:

Notice in the 'Before' photos below how the light washes out a majority of the details inside the room and outside the window. Click on 'Before' / 'After' or slide the middle divider to experience the difference!

Why HDR Photography? Isn't it CLEAR?

Benefits of Our Photography
  • Reduce days on market by 68%
  • Higher selling price by 5.25%
  • Highlight Featured amenitites
  • Higher perceived value of PROPERTY and REALTOR
​
​Higher Quality

HDR Photography is an enhanced photo technique that is extremely effective in delivering the highest quality photographs, that most accurately portray how the human eye would see it live and in person.
Better Experience
With HDR Photography, buyers have a more enticing experience which will result in a higher perceived value of the home.

​​Importance of HDR Done Right
​As with anything, there is a delicate balance of ‘not enough’ and ‘too much’. To perform HDR correctly, it takes a delicate and artistic balance which, when upheld to AREP’s standards, yields the perfect blend of technology and visually pleasing picture qualities to enhance the presence of the property, and the realtor who’s listing it.
