Having the Right Photos and Video Helps Sell Your Property!

February 6, 2012 by jake

It has been vastly proven that homes sell faster when there is media present online. This is because the majority of buyers start their home search on the internet.

When most buyers start looking at homes online, they tend to skip those that don’t include images. The presence of media speeds up the buying process because the shopper can determine quickly whether they are interested.

But, It’s not just about having photos anymore. It’s about having the RIGHT photos that effectively showcase the property. That’s where our professional photography team comes in. They do a professional shoot of each and every property our agents represent.

A relatively new tactic that is sweeping over the real estate world on a national level is the provision of video with many listings on the market. Consumers quickly want the information and all they really have to do is click ‘play’ to paint the three dimensional image of the home. These videos are especially effective when there is voice over, or an actual person standing in and “conversing” with the viewer about the home. That’s why we do video each and every time. Our clients do not pay additonal fees for professional photos or video, because we believe your property deserves the best possible exposure.

We’ve been doing video production for about a year now, and it has proven to be wildly successful when home owners want to promptly sell. It gives sellers the competitive edge when compared to homes that do not provide adequate media.

One of our latest listings was a 50 acre property that sits near Medina Lake in the beautiful hill country. Although it was vacant land, and a bit of a journey to get to from the greater San Antonio area, we managed to contract the property within two weeks of the MLS posting. Why?…because we provided a plethora of photos and a short (and to the point) video that was attached to the listing.

Every potential buyer that expressed interest in the land had mentioned the video and photos that they saw online before inquiring Becker Properties about the property. This efficient use of time pleased the owners and they were able to move their property quickly. Below is the video we created for the Medina Lake listing – an example of a successful use of media in real estate.

Research Economists Say It’s A Great Time To Buy in San Antonio

January 13, 2012 by Philip Becker

Last week I attended the San Antonio Board of Realtors 2012 Housing Forecast. Attendees included Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff and San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro. Most notably for real estate, Dr. Jim Gaines research economist for the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University was in attendance and delivered his thoughts for the real estate market in 2012. His overall message was clear; it’s a great time to buy! Gaines highlighted the strength of the market in Texas and especially in San Antonio because of our significant and continuing job growth. Mayor Castro seemed to be convinced as well, proudly stating that in 2012 San Antonio would experience more job growth than any other city in Texas! Job growth means more people moving to San Antonio, which means a higher demand for San Antonio real estate. High demand will drive values up, which is great news for homeowners. Sweetening the deal for today’s buyer are historically low interest rates. These rates are increasing buying power as well as bringing new, younger buyers into the market. Unfortunately, this “picture perfect” time won’t last forever. As more buyer’s move into the San Antonio area the number of properties on the market will begin to decrease, which will ultimately drive prices up and bring buying power down. Buyers must also remember that mortgage rates this low won’t last forever. The bottom line is simple; if you’re thinking about buying San Antonio is the place, and there may not be a better time. If you’ve got questions about the buying process our knowledgeable agents will be glad to help. When you’re ready to start the search or if you already have a property in mind, just call us or fill out a contact form.
