Photography For Real Estate

The Real Estate Photographer’s directory continues to be the PFRE blog’s highest traffic page (other than the front page). It currently averages about 3600 visitors a month. Which means there are around 120 agents a day using the directory to find a real estate photographer. The reason for this is because the PFRE blog and [...]

The outage that the real estate photographer directory had last week (the page wasn’t down, I just couldn’t add entries for a few days) confirmed my fears that the size of this kind of static directory page is limited. The size is limited by the maximum available memory on the PFRE blog’s WordPress server. I [...]

Last night when attempting to ad another entry to the Real Estate Photographer’s Directory I discovered that I can no longer edit the directory page. So until I get this problem fixed I’m sorry to say I have to temporarily stop accepting directory registrations.
The problem is do the fact that the directory page has gotten [...]

I was working away on Friday when my Google chat came alive and a friend told me he was going to “make my day”. And indeed he did! He’d managed to pick up the PhotographyForRealEstate.COM domain for me in an auction. So I now have the .com domain for PFRE in addition to the .net [...]

At the request of directory customers I’ve created two new types of REP directory entries:

A premium directory entry: Back in October Vicaso asked to buy a special directory entry at the top instead of having a directory entry for each office. So the help of the Vicaso I came up with the premium directory entry. [...]

I’d like to start a process that gives broader participation in choosing the PFRE photographer of the month. I think this would make this award much more meaningful and significant if the choice was made with in a more collaborative way than just me sitting here in my swivel chair making a unilateral decision based [...]

As of June 13 I’ve raise the price of being listed in the Real Estate Photographer Directory to $60 a year. The reasons are:

I’m getting so many directory listings that maintaining it is using up too much of my time. I feel like I have a tiger by the tail and it’s about to [...]

Thanks for the feedback from Tom Worek of xlvisions.com in Chicago. Tom says:
“On May 19th I have joined photographers directory on and already I have a client booked for a photo shoot of his property – amazing! Client stated that he found my info through PFRE.”

Doug Cranmer in Chicago gave me some details of his recent success with his listing in the PFRE Real Estate Photographer Directory. Doug says:
“I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that my investment in the PFRE Real Estate Photographer Directory paid off very well. A Chicago Realtor did a Google [...]

I’ve changed the real estate photographer directory to a pay product. The update work and related interaction has increased to a much higher level than I expected. It’s taking over my life! I’ve had a huge number of requests to be listed on the Interior Photographers list on the left side-bar. In the past the [...]

I’ve re-thought and re-designed the Real Estate Photographer directory. What got me going on this project is a reader that is experienced in search engine fine points pointed out that the two previous forms I maintained the directory in (a google spread sheet and a PDF file) were not very search engine friendly. And to [...]
