Sarasota and the surrounding Keys are known for their white sand beaches, beautiful turquoise waters, and laid-back island living. Not surprisingly, some of the best beaches in the world are found in this area along the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico, which creates an incredibly competitive luxury real estate market. Stunning waterfront properties, luxurious mansions, and private estates are available in the Sarasota region. Sarasota is also famous for its luxury golf courses along the Gulf of Mexico, as well as world-class dining and high-end shopping. Seafood is a favorite in the region, and the top-rated restaurants here feature classics and creative fusion cuisines with tangerine sunset views in the evening, such as the iconic Florida classic Tommy Bahama.
Sarasota homes for sale are in high demand, as well as the surrounding Keys. With such a highly competitive market, knowing how to make your luxury property stand out can be challenging. One of the best secrets to creating incredible, attention-grabbing listings is to employ a professional photographer to photograph and video your home. Read on for some top tips from the experts at
de Manio Eberley Group.
Professional perspective
Nearly everyone walks around with a smartphone camera in their pocket these days, so it can be easy to assume you could take your own photographs for your home listing. However, there are many reasons why hiring a professional photographer is the right move when selling your luxury home.
Just like other professionals, photographers have undergone in-depth training and have the experience to know just the proper lighting, angles, and other techniques to make your home look glamorous and appealing. Anyone can point and shoot a smartphone to take a picture, but photographers have trained eyes that can pick out the best composition and lighting to make your home stand out.

Highlight the amenities and details
Professional photographers can help you showcase the amenities and details that make your home special. Did you recently remodel the kitchen with granite countertops? Are you feeling especially proud of the pool landscaping and barbeque area? What makes your home unique and special? These are the accents you want to point out to buyers to create a listing that will capture their imaginations and hearts.
Luxury buyers want to see high-class amenities and beautiful details that make the home unique and justify the price. Professional photographers will know how to capture these details in eye-catching ways that pull your listing to the front of the pile when buyers are sorting through their search results.
Content is king
With so many listings available online, it can be difficult to get your target buyers' attention. With luxury properties, buyers want opulence and grandeur in their homes, and this needs to come across in the photographs first and foremost. When clicking through listings, it can feel disappointing to see one beautiful shot of the property but no additional photographs. Hiring a professional photographer will help you create ample content to fill your listing. This is important, as buyers want to see the whole house and feel the experience through the photographs prior to committing to seeing the home in person. Professional real estate photographers will know how to do this and can communicate all that your home has to offer by choosing a wide range of compelling photographs for your listing.
Save your time
If you take all your photos on your own, it will take a significant amount of time to photograph every angle of every room, compile the best options, edit them, and post the results on your listing. Hiring a professional allows you to outsource this task and return to the life you enjoy. Not only will your photographs look better, but you won’t be shouldered with this additional task during the stressful process of selling your home.
A digital world
The modern world of real estate is a digital one. Buyers are shopping from all over the world for Florida real estate, and the first impression of Sarasota homes for sale is often over the internet. This means photographs and video tours are absolutely essential to catching buyers’ attention. Buyers need to understand the overall look, style, and amenities that make a property stand out simply from the listing photographs. In this day and age, hiring a professional photographer is a must for any new listing, as it makes buyers want to take a closer look.
Photographs create credibility
When buyers shop for a home online, they want to know that what they’re seeing is what they’re getting. By hiring a professional photographer to take photos of your home, you are communicating professionalism. It helps boost the buyer’s confidence that the property is true to the images and will look the same, if even not better, in person.
Photographs attract buyers
Photographs are the gateway to bringing buyers and sellers together. It is the first thing buyers look at when shopping online, and it is the gateway to creating connections that culminate in sales.
First impressions are everything, especially in real estate. Buyers often click straight to the pictures of a property without reading any of the details. Your photographs must sell your house without any explanation of what is on offer. Listings with compelling photographs will typically end up with more attention, more buyers, and higher offers. In the end, hiring a professional photographer is the right move to help your property sell faster and for a higher value.
