The increasing demand for real estate photographers in Burnaby and Port Coquitlam
The Lower Mainland real estate market in British Columbia has always remained the most prominent in Canada with some of the most expensive real estate in the country. However, with this growing demand comes the greater need for real estate photographers, videographers and demand for digital assets to market these properties.
Budget
When choosing a real estate photographer or media company to represent your listing, it comes down to what your budget is. For luxury properties, it is often thought that you have to go with a magazine quality photographer that spends an entire day at the property. However, more often than not, these luxury properties stay on the market the longest and sometimes don’t even end up selling. This entire cost is taken on by the real estate professional that ends up losing on that deal. On the flip side, more practical homes are often considered to not even need professional photography and some real estate agents even take photos using their smartphone. However this is also a major disservice to their clients and for an extra $100 invested into professional photography, they can easily see more showings, more offers, and ultimately a massive spike in the final selling price of the property. Luckily, SnapHouss provides professional real estate photography, videography, 3D Virtual Tours, Floorplans with dimensions, virtual staging and more, starting at just $99. This means that if the property falls into the luxury category or the practical one, there is no doubt in anyones mind that it is definitely worth the investment as it garners huge upsides for both the home owner and real estate agent.
Turnaround time
Properties these days need to be on the market as soon as possible in order to gain a competitive advantage over neighboring rivals. This means the property has to be cleaned out, prepped, and photographed in a matter of a few days. Every minute counts! Often times, real estate photographers take 48 - 96 hours to turnaround their content to the clients, delaying their listing date and encountering upset clients and massive opportunity loss. Luckily SnapHouss offers one the fastest turnaround times in the country by delivering ALL their content (photos, videos, 3D Tours, floorplans, etc.) the following morning of the appointment. YES! That means, if the appointment was on a Monday at 3:00PM, the client receives all their content on Tuesday by approximately 9:00AM. This means that properties get to hit the market faster, attract more eyes on their listing, and increase the number of potential offers on the property!

Quality
Nothing is more important than capturing the true beauty of a property, especially the ones that lack the luster. Transforming a boring, outdated property into an exciting, welcoming one is the true reason why you’d want to hire a real estate photographer in the first place. Now, not all photography comes with the same level of quality of basic principles. However, there are a few different things to look out for. There are Single image photos, HDR photos, HDR + Flash Photos, and Multi-Flash photos. These go up in price and time spent on-site, in the same order of magnitude that we listed. This means that Multi-Flash photos can take approximately 2 hours on-site and just the photos alone can cost you anywhere from $200-$400. On the bright side, SnapHouss offers HDR + Flash Photos (Almost the best style of real estate photography), starting at $99. Included in their Premium Bundle is Unlimited Professional Photos, a Cinematic Video Walkthrough, a 3D Virtual Tour, a Property Website, and a Virtual Feature Sheet for only $199. Yes, you heard that right! We make your property sparkle for less than two hundred dollars without sacrificing quality, and make you and your property stand out from the competition!
