Rocket Photo, a photography company that connects REALTORS® with vetted, independent real estate photographers, has announced they have entered into an agreement with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices and Real Living Real Estate as part of their Preferred Alliance Program. Rocket Photo will create a private, national network of photographers who can serve both Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices and Real Living network members.
Director of Preferred Alliances Nina Fabbri says, “We are excited to provide Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices and Real Living network agents with this service. Through the new agreement, network agents across the United States will have access to consistent, affordable and high-quality listing photography, all through a single, streamlined ordering system.”
The nationwide Rocket Photo network is made up of independent photographers that specialize in real estate photography. Rocket Photo vets each photographer and lists the approved photographers on the Rocket Photo Marketplace, a platform where REALTORS® across the country can find and book professional photographers. As part of the Preferred Alliance Program, Rocket Photo will leverage its network and create private networks for both the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices and Real Living franchise networks.
Real estate agents in the U.S. are increasingly relying on professional real estate photography to sell their listings. According to Rocket Photo, professional listing photos are proven to sell listings 50 percent faster and generate 118 percent more online listing views, and brokers encourage their agents to utilize professional photography in order to meet the demands of their buyers and sellers.
Hi I am excited about this idea, I have been going into various clients homes, from a builders view, would be nice to continue in this format.
I am super creative, have done photography in the past.
Looking over the website and recent articles I am impressed with the practical business strategies your organization is putting into place.
It makes perfect sense to have a specific position for the photography and video that is taken of a property because most people do their shopping online, and that includes house shopping for lack of a better overall term.
I myself have owned three homes, worked in the multi-family housing industry, and now do estate sales so I understand the importance of visual stimulation when it comes to social media, marketing, and advertising. I would be extremely interested in speaking with somebody about the position of, “real estate photographer”, as I understand the importance of capturing a home from every angle and giving the buyer/renter not only a picture of what the property looks like inside and out, but capturing a genuine feel and dynamic of the house, all that is around it as a whole – along with every little detail-making it look aesthetically pleasing.
