- They generate more clicks, more showings, and more serious offers.
- Lighting: Controlled and enhanced to show rooms at their best.
- Composition: Angles chosen to make rooms look more open and inviting.
- Editing: Touch-ups that remove distractions and highlight a home's best features.
- Equipment: Wide-angle lenses and HD cameras create a polished, magazine-quality feel.
