Is Professional Real Estate Photography Important?

When creating a listing, Realtors have only one chance to make a first impression. Square footage and robust descriptions are key, but to give potential buyers a real sense of the property, photos are a must. But not all photos are created equal. Despite mobile phone cameras being at the fingertips of virtually everyone, they don’t possess the technology to capture a photo the same as a professional camera. In fact, studies have shown that listings with professional photography sold 50% faster and 39% closer to the original listing price than similar homes without professional photography.

 

“A phone camera just cannot create the nuance that a professional camera can,” explains Dan Colley, professional real estate photographer and co-owner of North Florida Real Estate Photography, LLC. “It doesn’t have enough of a wide-angle lens; therefore, it cuts rooms into small portions, and you lose a lot of the dynamic range of light.” Colley and his staff shoot with wide-angle lenses, to capture the maximum pictorial information in the room. His process differs from phone and even traditional photography in his methods. He takes multiple shots of each scene and then blends them into one photo. This helps create a full range of color and light, just as seen by the human eye.

Davidson Cares, the corporate giving program of Davidson Realty, has been dedicated to supporting kids throughout Northeast Florida through a variety of charitable endeavors since 2012. This year, Davidson Cares continues investing in local youths through the Take Stock in Children initiative.

 

“Take Stock in Children is a wonderful organization,” shares Sherry Davidson, owner of Davidson Realty. “They share our mission and values, which are focused on strengthening family and kids through educational and youth-based programs. Take Stock helps their scholars take the next step in their careers and lives. The young adults that receive these scholarships work so hard to earn this opportunity. The recipients are usually the first generation of college attendees in their families, so it’s incredibly exciting to provide that opportunity.”

April showered us with a steady flow of real estate activity, especially in the residential arena.   It’s time to recognize our top agents who made it all happen. We asked our best this month to give their pick on the best value of real estate property out there in the northeast Florida market.  Please read on as they share their “Best Buys” for the month.

 

 

 

Our Top Producer is Bonnie Weinstein with $789,900 in closings for the month.

 

 

 

 

Bonnie -Currently,  the best value in Northeast Florida in my opinion are condos with short term rental options.  Many people moving to the area are looking for part time residence “snow birds”.  With the option to rent when they are not there.  The Residence in WGV has 7-day rental options making it one of the best values in WGV.  The Residence is a gated community with many amenities including King and Bear amenities.  The community also overlooks the pristine Slammer & Squire golf course.  

 

 

 

 

Our Top Lister and Top Overall Sales for April is Jennifer Todd with over $1.9 Million in pending sales.

“Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” Stephen Hawking

 

The real estate market has given us an incredible opportunity to adapt to change over the last few years.

 

The Northeast Florida Association of Realtors market stats for April show a slight increase in prices of homes, fewer closed and pending sales and a small increase in inventory.

 

The median sales price for April is $339,995 which is down 2.9% from last April and up 2.4% from March. In the National Association of Realtors first-quarter report, nearly seven out of 10 metro markets had home price gains.

 

Locally, active inventory of 5,938 homes is up 4.5% from March. Many of those homes are new construction and not completed. The supply of existing homes is very low because many homeowners with loans well below current mortgage rates are electing to stay in their homes.

Davidson Realty Welcomes Two New Professional Realtors to Team

Posted by in Agent Feature, News

With over 30 years’ of experience, Davidson Realty continues to be the dependable name in real estate in Northeast Florida. And with a full complement of the most talented Realtors around, Davidson is a full-service office ready to guide buyers through the home buying process in Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra, St. Augustine, and throughout St. Johns County. The office is thrilled to announce the addition of two seasoned Realtors, Angela Strauss and Mike Kryachun.

 

Angela Strauss comes to Davidson Realty with more than 25 years’ of experience. She built a solid foundation at the University of Miami, where she earned her Bachelors and MBA. In addition to being a real estate agent in Florida, she is also a real estate broker in California. She has dedicated her career to helping her clients navigate the real estate market, both residential and commercial.

 

 

 

“Two of my great passions in life are home remodeling and gardening,” shares Strauss. “It gives me an edge in the real estate market. I can really look at a property and see its intrinsic value, what it can or can’t be. This is extremely beneficial, whether I’m working with a first-time homebuyer or a client looking to expand their investment portfolio. That’s what I love about being a real estate professional – helping my client find a property that can become their dream home or business.”

 

 

Mike Kryachun’s introduction to the world of real estate was a truly organic process, with all of his previous life experience leading him to Davidson Realty. He was raised with a strong appreciation for foundational skills. His childhood was spent learning all about mechanics from his father. As a young adult, Kryachun went on to hone his skills in framing homes and crafting fine cabinetry, before realizing his talents could best be used in real estate.

 

 

 

“As one of twelve children, I’m used to absorbing a lot of different input all at once,” laughs Kryachun. “I enjoy working with clients to flesh out exactly what their needs are. My background helps me examine a property from a very technical perspective, which in turn means that I can really assist my clients in understanding what they’re looking at and, more importantly, what they can expect.”

 

Davidson Realty was founded in 1989 by Jim and Sherry Davidson. Leaders in the Northeast Florida market, they have a dedicated and professional group of Realtors and support staff to assist clients with their real estate needs.
