Real Estate Photography Tips Pt. 1--Florida Real Estate School

Real Estate Photography Tips Pt. 1--Florida Real Estate School

Florida Real Estate School

How many times have you seen a listing with photos that looked like this?

How long has this one been listed for?

So, ummm, what exactly am I looking at here?

 (Photo credit http://terriblerealestateagentphotos.com/)

Those are pretty bad. But you also don’t want to spend an arm and a leg getting them done professionally. We understand. That’s why we have compiled…

8 Key Strategies for Effective Photography (Part 1)

1. Use the "Golden Hours"

Use the hour just after sunrise and the hour just before sunset to capture exterior images in their best light. The sun at lower angles has a warmer more pleasing light and casts shadows that add depth and dimension to your photograph.  

The early morning shadows make the home look warm and inviting.

 2. Pay attention to the orientation of the front facade of the house. 

Any house with an easterly facing facade will have the best light and be best photographed in the morning with the rising sun (like the one above). Houses with a westerly facing facade are best shot in late afternoon. The most challenging shots are due north and south facades.  For these shots, wait for a cloudy day or shoot in early evening and take advantage of the home’s exterior lighting to create an interesting mood.    

The impending storm in the background turns this home into a beacon of safety.

 3. Avoid flash for interior shots when possible. 

The camera flash produces an intense white light that causes bright reflection and harsh shadows. Instead, try setting up your camera on a tripod and using existing lights and a longer shutter speed. Another technique when flash is required is to bounce the flash off the ceiling (provided you are using an adjustable flash head). This diffused, reflected light fills the room in a more pleasing way.

4. Remove all clutter from the picture. 

Remove all the kids’ drawings from the fridge. Take all appliances from kitchen counter tops, and remove most, if not all, of the homeowners "personal" decorations such as trophies, figurines, etc. Consider removing furniture such as occasional chairs or end tables from the shot to simplify the scene. Ash trays, TV remotes, dog toys, and nick-nacks have no place in professional real estate photos.   

Yes, even pigs count as clutter--get them out of the photos!

Follow these rules for effective real estate photography and you can make homes sparkle!

About the 20 Hour SAFE Comprehensive Mortgage Loan Originator Course

Federal and state laws require that state-licensed mortgage loan originators complete NMLS-approved pre-licensure education at an NMLS-approved school. Larson Educational Services is a Florida-based NMLS-approved school - NMLS PROVIDER ID: 1400171 and NMLS COURSE ID: 1181.

Mortgage Loan Originators or MLOs are an integral part of the real estate transaction. As a licensed MLO, you will be working with mortgage lenders to obtain financing for potential home buyers and you will be paid based on the financed dollar amount. It is a challenging, but financially rewarding career choice.

All MLOs are regulated by the state in which they will originate loans and must be registered with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System or NMLS. The curriculum development team at Larson Educational Services has developed this course to include the mandated hours and topics and to reflect the body of information required for an entry-level mortgage loan originator.

At the conclusion of this course, you will be armed with the knowledge to legally, safely and efficiently serve the needs of today’s borrowers and lenders in real estate financing transactions. The course workbook combines detailed text, student notes, and sample questions. The course is updated as necessary to reflect ongoing changes within the mortgage industry. This course includes ALL exam preparation materials necessary to be prepared to pass both NMLS exams, including the Uniform State Test (UST) questions.

Key Objectives of the Course by Unit

• Unit 1: Florida Specific Laws and Rules
• Unit 2: General Mortgage Knowledge
• Unit 3: Federal Mortgage-Related Laws
• Unit 4: Mortgage Loan Origination Practices
• Unit 5: Mortgage Loan Originator Processes
• Unit 6: Ethics in the Mortgage Industry
