In the case of real estate photography, lifestyle photos can help create a compelling narrative about the property, making it more appealing to potential buyers. These images can showcase the functionality, design, and style of the home, allowing buyers to imagine how they would live in the space and how it fits their lifestyle.
Lifestyle photos in your vacation rental property listings can highlight the unique features and amenities that set your property apart from others. For example, you can capture cozy living areas, inviting bedrooms, well-equipped kitchens, outdoor entertaining spaces, or any other attractive elements of the property that would appeal to potential guests.
By offering lifestyle photos as an add-on to our real estate photography services, we provide an opportunity for our clients to enhance their marketing materials and showcase the unique characteristics of their vacation rental properties or homes for sale. Below are three examples.

A 3D tour allows homebuyers to explore a property from the comfort of their own homes, which can help them make a decision quickly. In fact, a study by Matterport found that listings with 3D tours sell 40% faster than listings without them.
Not everyone has the time or ability to visit a property in person, but everyone can view a 3D tour online. This means that you can reach a wider audience of potential buyers by using 3D tours.
In a competitive real estate market, it's important to stand out from the competition. A 3D tour can help you by providing a unique and immersive experience for potential buyers. Zillow reports listings with 3D Tours receive 68% more views on average than listings without.
When potential buyers can see a property for themselves, they're more likely to trust you and feel comfortable making an offer. A 3D tour can help you build that trust by giving potential buyers a realistic and accurate view of the property. Zillow reports that 70% of sellers are more likely to hire an agent that includes virtual tours on their listings.
The Matterport 3D Tour is a very complex tour with scans every 5 or 6 feet. Each scan’s image is a three to five bracket HDR processed image so the picture quality is very lifelike. Scans made with the very high resolution Matterport Pro 250 infra-red and Pro 3 LiDAR cameras also produce extremely accurate floor plans data. These tours are often used by Architects who want to download the Computer Aided Design (CAD) files.
The founders of Snap2Close sold their last house to a couple who lived in Colorado. They made their purchase decision based on the reliability of the Matterport 3D Tour. This is where they separate themselves from all other 3D Tours.
The Zillow 3D Tour is an excellent tool for a casual review of a home. It usually consists of one or two scans (captured photos) of a room and is linked to their own Interactive Floor Plan. The negatives of the plan are primarily centered around the image quality and inaccurate floor plan measurements. The Zillow 3D Tour process downgrades the captured photo so that it can be instantly and quickly uploaded to Zillow while the photographer is on-site. Zillow uses Photogrammetry from the photograph and A.I. software to build the floor plan and link the images to the floor plan. While the image quality is poor, it does allow potential home buyers to quickly tour the home.
