When considering listing your home, this is probably a factor in your decision to go with a Listing Agent. It's an expense that many don't feel is necessary in a world where everyone is snapping, editing, and posting pictures constantly with their phones these days. As an older Gen Xer, I get it, but what I don't always get is that I don't get everything! This isn't a diss on us older folks because even the younger generations don't fully understand or have the capability to acquire the technology needed as a professional has. These wonderful folks have the expertise and desire to provide THE best in visual enhancement of your beloved home to entice buyers and their agents to book a showing that will lead to the desired price and closing.

Can you do all this yourself without a Listing Agents? Absolutely, but your agent already has a relationship with at least 1-2 great photographers with established reputations in the community who are able to showcase your home's quality and in much less time than you or a friend could.
