This is about the best that you can expect from the "drive-by" photo included with an MLS listing. It's not a bad picture, but it's rather "ho-hum" and does not give the same eye-catching presentation as our picture, to the right. 

Note that the "drive-by" MLS photo is limited to one picture of the front of the house--our photo shoot includes interior & exterior photos!!

If you think we are mis-representing the quality of the photos on the MLS, go to www.realtracs.com and de-cide for yourself!  Note, however, that agents are able to upload and replace any photos for their listings, so not all the pictures you find here will be examples of "drive-by" photos, but we are confident that you will not find photographs with quality comparable to the photo at right.

By using a wide-angle lens, we are able to step closer to the house, and get a picture with fewer obstructions (e.g. mailboxes, utility poles, etc.) and more emphasis on the house.

The picture itself is taken with a high-quality, seven megapixel digital camera and brought back to our office for further processing. Using image-editing software, we can enhance the colors and contrast of the image to create a picture of the house on a sunny, pleasant day.  We can also digitally remove visual distractions and inc-idental objects, ensuring that it is your home which is showcased, rather than these distractions.

This type of editing can be especially important in inter-ior photos, where we also employ wide-angle lenses and photographic lens filters, to ensure that each room in your home is accurately and attractively featured.
