Photography
Lets talk about Real Estate Photography Coronavirus. The Covid-19 pandemic continues to globally take hold. As a result, how it’s going to affect the U.S. real estate industry is probably foremost in your mind. In real estate photography, what are your options as a photographer? How will buyers and sellers react? And how are you going to conduct your business in this crisis now that most of us are staying at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic?
As the world adjusts to the new normal, real estate photographers adapt as well. Hand sanitizer will become a must-have in a photographer’s camera bag. Non-contact, verbal-only posing skills should be developed to approach clients who prefer no physical contact. In general, real estate photographers during Coronavirus need to be aware of what they are touching on the shoot. There should also be frequent breaks to wash their hands thoroughly. Since photographers are busy during shoots, they tend to forget to focus on details. Even if all these seem like common sense, these things aren’t always on our preoccupied minds.
Video Tours
Video tours aren’t new, but not every agent has them for their listings. In Real Estate Photography during Coronavirus, video tours are especially helpful. Nowadays, people stay at home due to the pandemic. Therefore, looking at a property in person can be tricky or impossible. With a real estate video tour, a buyer can look around a property as if they’re on a private showing. The buyers do not need to leave their homes for these tours.
Commissioning a professional photographer to come to a property for sale is still possible even with the social distancing guidelines. However, we at Fast Promo USA strictly implement the CDC guidelines before booking.
