Property Portraits

I love real estate photography!!!  No really, I do.  To some folks it's just a location shoot but after 9 years of working in the real estate and mortgage industries I have a true appreciation for what kind of photos it takes to sell or rent a property.

Most commonly, I'll arrive at the location and within minutes the homeowners are showing me the photos from the appraisal or the realtor, pointing out that they don't really show off the character and charm of the property or the amenities they missed.  Well that's because they aren't really supposed to, appraisers and realtors are documenting the property but rarely do they achieve much beyond that.  I know this for a fact because I have looked at thousands of listing and appraisal images throughout my career.    

I am lucky to have several companies that regularly hire me to find and show the unique characteristics of their properties in the best possible light.  Most recently I've been working with a vacation rental network called Evolve.  I showcased this amazing rental house for them up in Maggie Valley called "The Red Diamond Lodge".  This luxurious vacation home is a real show stopper with it's own gushing mountain stream, large fire pit area and a"bunk house", they've even got a small paddock if you want to bring your horse.   Check out their listing on Evolve's network here; "Red Diamond Lodge".    


I also work for independent owner/proprietors like Jen at "Asheville Bed No Breakfast". She's got the cutest little cabin studio available for rental right here in West Asheville! I was delighted to help her out with photos that show off how sweet and cozy this little cabin in the hood really is.
