Real Estate Photography in Hadapsar, Pune

Owner and agent

Owners want their home shown well. Agents want the property to sell.

Those overlap substantially and not completely, and the difference surfaces in exactly the same places every time.

Owners want the rooms they are proud of. Agents want the rooms that sell, which are frequently the kitchen and the outlook regardless of how the owner feels about them.

Owners want the flat to look like a home. Agents want it to look like somewhere a buyer can imagine themselves, which means fewer personal traces.

Neither is wrong and the disagreement is easily resolved by deciding beforehand which photographs lead.

Where an owner is attached to a particular room, it can be included without leading, and everybody is satisfied.

What does not work is an owner and an agent giving different instructions on the day, which happens more often than either would expect.

It is worth establishing early whether the owner will be present during the shoot.

An owner watching their home being photographed frequently begins directing, which is entirely natural and slows everything considerably.

It is much easier if everybody has agreed beforehand that the shoot runs to the agent's brief, or to the owner's, but not to both simultaneously.

It is also worth agreeing who chooses the final images.

Owners and agents choose differently — owners pick the rooms they like, agents pick the rooms that sell — and a set chosen by committee tends to be longer and weaker than one chosen by either alone.

Deciding that at the start avoids an awkward conversation at delivery.
