They are more like a tool that HELPS get the property sold. I believe most home buyers judge whether to look at a property by what it looks like at first glance. If you have professional photos taken by a professional company / photographer the chances are dramatically higher your property will stand out in the sea of similar listings. The point I am trying to make is that the better the photo the better chance it will pop and draw a potential homebuyer to look at it, even if it may not have the exact features/specs they are initially looking for. There are many additional photo techniques that also help enhance a listing and to attract attention. My company, High Res Media, specializes in residential & commercial TWILIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY. This photo technique is most popular for luxury listings. Twilight photography truly stands apart form the rest. Another technique we offer and that has grown dramatically in our area is low altitude aerial photography. Snapping photos of the exterior elevation at heights up to 7 stories is sure to catch the eye of potential buyers. I don’t think that professional photos necessarily SELL a property.

Why don't you go ask a real estate agent something like, "What's the point of using a RE these days with the Internet and all if I'm willing to show my own property, you'll just cost me thousands in commission."

I posted a question not to very long ago that warrented a childish reply from you as well. If you are going to run this blog, you should be professional and not critical about questions and comments. There are no stupid questions. The teachers are right. If there were then no one would ask any questions for fear of being labled stupid as you seem apt to do on a whim.

One of the great things about this site is how differently so many of us have set up our business in terms of providing products, pricing and servicing. I am not saying mine is the only way, but I have had a great business for 8 years and make a very good living with a loyal client base.... I believe part of my success is providing photographic coverage of the home, something most RE photograhers are not doing. By providing a flat rate you can ensure Real Estate Agents can easily package your product into their marketing campains they sell to their vendors. It also appears I am able to demand a much higher price per job than most RE Photographers are getting and I am in regional Australia... I must surely be doing something right....

However, my service is time based. If the realtor doesn't want to pay for the time it takes to throughly cover a property, then why would I spend another two hours getting everything? Time is money. If my client isn't interested in thelaundry room or even getting every bedroom, then I would not likely keep my business in the black by providing more than they want or are willing to pay for. Just my two cents... Kym brings a subsantive point, and if I were a realtor, I would do exactly the same. However, my service is time based.
