The realtor listed our home after Sherri took photos. We sold the home on two days later. I am certain it was the aerial photos that sold it so quickly.
~ Sheila Mennish, Homeowner, Sarasota, FL
Sherri Proctor did real estate photos and drone photography for a listing of mine. The photos were amazing. The same day I listed the home, I got two full price offers and we sold the home for more than it was listed.

Sherri takes photos for my real estate listings. She does an amazing job. She's prompt, professional and has a great turn around time for the finished product. She has excellent communication skills and does exactly what she says she's going to do.
I highly recommend her.

REAL ESTATE FAQ
What weather is best for real estate photos? Sunny, blue sky days are best for regular listing photos. Nicer skies can be edited in if necessary, but sunshine is the most important factor.
When do you take twilight photos? Typically twilight photos are taken as the sun is setting up until total darkness. All interior and exterior lighting is on and makes for a magnificent photo of your home.
Can you photoshop something out of the photo? Any time I can remove the item naturally it is better, but sometimes that's not possible. I will try to take different angles to avoid something like a dog crate or a bad patch of grass. I try not to misrepresent the property by changing something from it's original look such as removing powerlines or an air conditioner unit.
How should I prepare my home for a photoshoot?
INTERIOR
- I recommend a deep cleaning before calling to have photos taken.
- Remove everything from kitchen and bathroom countertops except a few decorative items. That way the space appears larger and prospective buyers can envision the space as theirs.
- Remove all items from shower or bathtub area. Clean, neatly folded towels are fine.
- Replace burned out lightbulbs. Turn on all lights including lamps, accent lights etc.
- Open all window treatments. Make the room as bright as possible. Don't forget to clean the windows.
- Remove and store any extra furniture. This is the most difficult request, but the most important item on the list. It makes the home look much larger. Consider consulting a professional stager to determine which items should stay or go. Just remember, less is more.
- Remove all rugs and runners when possible. It helps to make the room look bigger.
- Turn off all ceiling fans, TV and Computer screens.
- Make all beds neatly and straighten pillows. Remove any excess pillows.
- Remove all artwork and magnets from the refrigerator.
- Remove all personal items and photos from every room so that the potential buyer can see the space as theirs.
- Put all shoes and clothing in the closets out of sight.
- Clear all dressers and nightstands of everything except a lamp and one decorative item.
- Remove all pets, pet beds, toys, kitty condos, kitty litter etc.
EXTERIOR
- Clean up yard an make sure lawn is neatly trimmed.
- Sweep off patios, porches and sidewalks.
- Remove cars and trashcans from driveway. For aerial photos, park your car down the street away from home.
- Open up patio umbrellas.
