“Why can’t I take my own listing photos”
“Why do we have to pay someone else to do this when we all have cameras in our pocket?”
“Is getting professional photography really important?”
We hear it all the time, and we understand where these agents are coming from. When it comes down to it, absolutely nothing is stopping you from creating your own media. At the same time, you wouldn’t be here if you weren’t just a little curious why you shouldn’t… right?
We get it, and some agents can get away with taking their own photos. However, those agents are not trying to sell real estate in Bozeman or Big Sky, some of the most desirable markets in the US. In southwest Montana, it’s important to stand out from the crowd; to make sure people know just how serious you are. If not for potential buyers, then at least for the sellers you represent.
Obviously the way to do this is to outsource your media creation to those who do nothing else than that day in and day out (that’s us). Professional real estate photography is our specialty, the only thing that our business focuses on. So what can you expect when you choose Messner Media to help you through this process?
It all starts on this website, where you’ll go to the “Client Login/Book Now” page where we have a variety of services from which you can choose. Beyond the photos, we also handle video, drone media, 3D tours, and even full property websites and marketing kits for our clients. Anything you need to market your clients’ property, we handle entirely and in house. Our website handles online scheduling, convenient media delivery once completed, and fast payment processing for all of your orders.
When you create an account, you are creating a portal that can handle all of your media in one place. You are even encouraged to upload your headshot and brokerage logo since we include it with your website and marketing kit. After all, part of selling a home is marketing yourself. Sounds too easy, right? We make it that way for a reason; so you can spend more time helping your clients and doing your day-to-day business
On the back end, we spend evenings editing your media. Hand-blending all of our HDR images to bring out the best of your listings, color-grading and piecing together property videos, and integrating floorplans and 3D Tours on all of our property websites. We guarantee next-day turnaround for your listing photos, while videos may take up to three days depending on length and complexity.
To put it simply, this is more than a full-time job for us. It’s a lifestyle that we are privileged to share with such an amazing group of agents serving the greater southwest Montana market. If you’d like more details about what it is that we do, or have questions about a specific project, you are always welcome to get in touch.
