Knoxville Real Estate Photographers
 

The Knoxville, Tennessee area real estate agents often work with particular photographers because they like the images they create and because they work very well together. It’s important they work as a team, both benefit from their relationship.

Providing good high quality photography helps an agent be successful and will go a long way to help them stay successful and always be in demand. Teaming together with their photographer also takes a huge chunk of time off an already busy schedule, giving them more time to spend with their clients, its another good reason for an agent to provide professional real estate photography to display on their web site.

It’s the professional photography that buyers want to see in their online searches and in turn will encourage the phone calls or the emails that will provide the agent the opportunity to help those buyers with their new home search, or not — its most often the agents web site where a agents listings are seen and become interested in and have made a good enough impression to engage buyers enough to make the inquiry on what they have found on the real estate agents web site. Real estate photography has become a must have for realtors.

Home buyers mostly don’t understand the complications involved in selling a property.  Houses weren’t designed to be placed on a sales table to be seen and inspected by prospective buyers from all sides up and down. It’s the professional photography that brings out just what a listing is. Its always best to structure the presentation of a new listing so as to really WOW for that first impression.

Placing a few home items around to explain where there is a great place to sit and think with a cup of coffee is right here in front of this big window. Every picture I take, tells some part of a bigger story, Every client who sees my photography I hope will see what I saw — all the great possibilities this new listing has to offer.

A few truths about SEO to help get you started.

https://ppmag.com/news/5-seo-truths

1. SEO is not a marketing plan

SEO is a small piece of marketing. Good SEO practices can gradually build up website traffic from interested prospects. However, SEO is not a stand-alone substitute for good marketing.

2. SEO is a long-term play

If you’re banking on a quick fix to acquire new clients, SEO isn’t the tool you’re looking for. On average, it takes 3.4 months for a targeted piece of content to appear in search results.Consider paid advertising through social media or Google AdWords if you want faster results

3. SEO is a competition

There isn’t necessarily a standard benchmark for SEO. Yes, there are best practices, but the ultimate goal is to do enough to outrank your competition.

Pro tip: Try to post evergreen content that will stand the test of time and drive traffic to your website over a long period.

4. SEO is an investment

To be successful at SEO, you need to invest either time or money. Working with an SEO consultant or agency could run $500 to $1,000 per month and you’ll need at least six months’ worth of help. To do it yourself, be prepared to dig in. Greer estimates that he spent more than 400 hours on SEO work for his own website before he started seeing results.

Pro tip: When creating content for your site, go for quality over quantity. It’s better to create one amazing blog post with in-depth info than to blog every day with less engaging content.

5. SEO relies on good content

Ultimately, Google and the other search engines want to deliver good results to users. So your web pages need to serve the content that those users are looking for. It needs to be well written, relevant, unique and updated frequently. Blogging isn’t mandatory to produce good content for SEO. Search engines reward you for any content updates to your site.
