What is the impetus behind these statistics?

Selling property requires a realtor to engage in a broad range of marketing tasks. Of which managing online promotion is a substantial component. Delegating the photography and media content to a professional has considerable upside in time and money saved. And, of course, the final result. Primarily a realtor wants to demonstrating that they’re worth the commission.

Interesting and Good Looking

The higher the price of the listing the greater the the return on marketing investment. First impressions linger. Photos that are memorable are also very shareable. Even more so when they include drone photography and video. Everyone would rather fly than walk.

With this in mind drone photography and video has a appreciable pay off. The reason is simple. It looks glorious and is highly informative. It’s prestigious look has led to it becoming the expectation for most listings in Sydney. Drone footage demonstrates proximity to amenities and local community features. Enhancing the perceived value of the home and underpinning the price in a buying decision.

If the property is an a CASA approved fly zone, which the majority of Sydney is, the cost of drone footage is a fraction of what is was just 5 years ago. Even in more regulated air space the price of drone footage can usually be justified.

With high-end luxury listings, over the million dollars asking price, twilight shots are becoming the expectation. However the extra expense of these photos can still be justified for lower priced properties. Relitively speaking they are still a small part of the overall marketing budget.

The better a home is pressented the greater the perceived value and the higher the demand. Simple keynesian economics states stimulating demand results in a higher price point.

Ultimately the more people that go to showings the greater the chance of the home getting sold. More traffic in a less time results in a faster sale.

It has become obvious that an online presence for your property through social media will increase the audience reach far more than just word of mouth.

Property get fewer offers when perceived as over priced. Photography and media content is crucial in explaining the value of a property. In order to consistently exceed expectations with your listings, the price must align with the comparative market analysis and the sellers should know what is required for the home to be presented and photographed.
