BENEFITS AND RETURN OF REAL ESTATE MARKETING & PHOTOGRAPHY
The primary advantage of hiring a real estate photographer is a rapid turnaround. Professional photography sells homes faster than amateur photos and also offers a very high ROI.
As a real estate broker or agent, you must be conscious of your ROI when you’re asked to spend additional money on photographs. But, the simple math reveals you can earn over 1000% by investing less than $200 on premium quality photographs.
Here’s a sample calculation of how to determine the return on your investment
• The average cost of the home you want to list is $350,000
• Your client (the seller) will pay at least 6% as sales commission
• You will have to pay the buyer agent 2.8% commission
• You get 20% of the commission that comes to your brokerage
• The average price of professional photos for the listing is $170
• Photographs contribute about 40% toward selling your listing (if buyers don't like the photos, they won't read the description)
With these simple assumptions, we can go on to calculate our ROI using this simple formula:
ROI = ((Gain from Investment - Cost of Investment)/(Cost of Investment)) x 100
• Your net commission = $8,960
• Gain from investment in professional photography = $3,584 (40% of $8,960)
• Cost of investment = $170
• ROI = (($3,584 - $170))/$170 x 100 = 2008%
That's a very high return on your investment in professional real estate photos. The great thing about using this kind of service for your listing is the positive ripple effect it has. The virtual tour or photographs for a single listing keep bringing in returns for years after you’ve sold the home in many ways, including:
• Friends and acquaintances of the seller will see the photos and come looking for you
• The family of the buyer will also look at the listing and call you for future property sales
• Online shoppers will see your photos and call you because they want a similar presentation
• The returns from a single $170 investment will keep coming in for the next three to five years
360º Virtual Tours provide an immersive interaction of the potential customer to see the inside of the establishment, whether that be a Hotel, Restaurant, Jewelry, Real State, Shoe Store, Rent House, or Supermarket. To be able to see what a business atmosphere is like before ever entering the place physically is what we call modern technology. The power of a virtual tour will change the way others will look at your business forever. They say that a picture can say a thousand words- now imagine what it will do for your business! That’s the power of 360 Virtual Tours, and if you don’t have yet, what are you waiting for?

If optimized correctly, your Google local page can not only show up over your competition, but allow visitors to take a tour inside straight from Google searches. The technology is not limited to your desktop computer.
