Promotional real estate media in Ireland The way people buy property has changed in recent years. Although traditional print media still exists, there has been a dramatic shift towards online listings. Here in Ireland, daft.ie and myhome.ie are responsible for the vast majority of property listings. According to daft.ie, 90% of properties sold in Ireland are listed on their website and mobile app. Unlike print media, online listings allow the estate agency to showcase a property with a great many images, as well as video and interactive content.
Successful estate agents understand the value of high quality promotional media. According to studies in the USA, professional real estate photography sells homes 32% faster than those advertised with “snapshots”. Although mobiles phones now allow agents to take photos with reasonable image quality, there is no substitute for a professional photographer who has the equipment and skills to efficiently stage, shoot and edit a series of high quality images. In most cases, the estate agent need not leave their office and can simply provide the photographer with a set of keys, or schedule the photoshoot with the vendor. With the addition of video content, virtual tours and graphical floor plans, the role of the professional real estate photographer is as important today as it ever was.
The property industry remains busy in Ireland, and a building boom is expected in the coming years. Lighthouse Photo provides the aforementioned services to estate agencies, as well as builders, architecture firms, marketing agencies etc. House prices have remained high despite the economic downturn, with the average house price being 260,000 euro nationally, and 379,000 euro in Dublin. Similarly, daft.ie claims to serve 2.5 million unique users every month.
The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted on how property is viewed and sold. People are rightly reluctant to attend public viewings, and agents are inclined to be increasingly discerning about who they invite to view properties. High quality promotional material is essential under these conditions, and that explains the explosion of interest in virtual tours, which allow you to explore a property in a game-like fashion, on any internet enabled device such as a laptop or phone. Lighthouse photo provides a virtual tour service, using the Matterport platform, which is the industry standard in this field.
