In today’s competitive real estate market, your first showing happens online — not in person. That means your photos are doing the talking before you ever meet a buyer or seller. So the question is: are your listing photos helping or hurting your business?


I’m Troy Martin, a real estate photographer based in Roseburg, Oregon, and I help agents turn browsers into buyers with high-impact, professional photography. Here’s why great visuals are one of the smartest investments you can make — not only for your listings but for your personal brand as well.


The Power of First Impressions

We all know buyers are searching online, but the stats paint an even clearer picture:


  • 97% of homebuyers use the internet during their home search (NAR)

  • Listings with professional photos sell 32% faster than those without (Redfin)

  • Homes priced between $200K and $1M with pro images sell for $3K–$11K more (Redfin)

  • Listings with quality photos get 118% more views than those with low-quality images (IMOTO)

  • 88% of buyers say photos are the most important part of a listing (NAR)



This isn’t just a “nice-to-have” anymore — high-quality photos directly influence speed, price, and visibility.


Great Photography Builds Trust — and Your Brand

Photography isn’t just about selling a house. It’s about how people see you as an agent.


Agents who consistently use high-end photography are seen as more professional, more trustworthy, and more committed to their clients. Here’s what great listing photos do for your business:


  • Impress sellers and help you win more listings

  • Reflect your professionalism in a competitive market

  • Generate better results, leading to more referrals

  • Create a strong, consistent brand image that builds long-term trust



If your listings look premium, so do you.
