    3 Benefits of Professional Photography

    With the rapid growth of technology, it is easier than ever to take a photo and publish it. This accessibility has made it effortless for small businesses to photograph their own images.

    The Cost of a Real Estate Photographer

    When looking at the Puyallup and Tacoma Real Estate market I come across many listings with poor images.

More images could show off the entire listing and may answer the potential buyer’s questions. Therefore, there is less of an incentive to contact the listing agent. Some may disagree and say that more images means more leads. However, a study by Streeteasy found that t
