In June 2009 we decided to sell our home. After having 5 or 6 agents come through for appraisals, we were given a price of range of mid $900,000's up to $1.1 million, with the majority of the agents believing that a sale over $1 million would be difficult.

In order to maximise our selling opportunities, we had Deb Lindner from Mink Home Staging come in to prepare the house for us. When Deb was finished, our house had turned into a beautiful, warm, stunning home.

Naturally, with such beautiful presentation, we were extremely  keen to make sure that we had a photographer who would highlight the beauty of the home with stunning photography.  Our only choice was Linda & Darryl from Highshots Photography.  Linda & Darryl had previously photographed a home for us in Carindale that sold in eight days and for far more than expected.

The team from Highshots are experts and so professional at what they do.  Their photos are a true reflection of the features of the home and display it beautifully. 

And it worked!  Less than two weeks after being put on the market we signed a contract - for well over $1 million.

High quality photography is so important! The results from the Highshots team were outstanding and I recommend them to everyone selling.

Dear Simone [real estate agent]

I am starting to see why you are so successful.

I thought it must have been your sales technique, but again “Highshots” have done a brilliant job with the photography, and I now know that THEY are the key to your success….!

Thank you – excellent photographs again.

Best regards

Hi Lin

Just wanted to thank you for the fantastic job you did at 74 Alma Rd, Clayfield. The images on the internet looked great. I had three calls from overseas buyers which demonstrated how well the property presented online. I placed the property under contract at the first open house on Saturday.

Highshots were a key part of my overall strategy and I believe in this case really helped sell the property.

Thanks again.

In today's cyberspace marketing world, I believe professional photography to be the first and most crucial element in marketing property. Highshots styled and then photographed a property for me that was only ever marketed on the internet - no sign, no print advertisements and absolutely no price guide, simply the internet working 24 hours a day.

The property was on the market for 6 weeks with 46 enquiries, 3 offers and a resulting sale. I don't think there would have been anywhere near the level of enquiry had the photos been less inviting. This proves to me that professional photography is not just important, it is essential.

I have been using Highshots Photography for all my exclusive clients for over 12 months now. The reasons for strongly recommending the benefits of a Professional Photography package to my clients are numerous and are listed below:

• A significant number of agents use a standard digital camera & in too many cases are unable to capture any real dimension of the homes they are photographing. A professional Highshots shoot provides me with high quality wide angled lens photos that show off every part of every room. The front elevation shots using the pole camera add something special and take out any restrictions such as trees or high fences etc.
• The Highshots photos enable me to present a better quality window card, a significantly better internet presentation plus above average newspaper pictorial ads, pictorial signboards and colour brochures.
• As a result, my listings enjoy between 2-3 times more visits on the internet than other agents' properties in the same price range. I constantly measure my internet traffic against my competition to provide feedback to my clients.
• I also receive a much better response to Open Homes than my competitors as well as a higher rate of telephone inquiry.
• I am able to draw more people to my listings. Particularly for homes that may have a plain appearance on the outside but need to be viewed internatlly for buyers to appreciate all the features.

Well listed properties will always sell in any market but I view a Highshots Professional photography package as an integral part of achieving the very best result for all of my clients.

I include a professional photo shoot as a standard part of my listing presentation. For those clients who resist because of the additional cost, I tell them I will pay the cost if they are disappointed with the photos. To date, I have received nothing but positive feedback from my clients on the use of Highshots with 100% agreeing it was money well spent and they have no qualms in meeting the cost.

I can be contacted on 3893 6727 or 0400 202 692 should anyone wish to discuss the above.

Yours faithfully,
