Even this?:)
I had this bright idea when I restarted my photo business about a
dozen years ago (and even borrowed money to buy the 35mm PC lens
to do the work, figuring that any realtor in his/her right mind
would pay ANYTHING to have good sales photos, instead of the
dreadful examples of the photo-tyro's art I saw on real estate
listing boards), but I very soon discovered that realtors are
totally unwilling to part with any part of their 7% or so
sales commission (about the same fee the poor architects
get for designing the building...., [and they are much more
willing to part with money for photography]) for photography
that could help with sales.... (lately, I have foolishly been
considering offering realtors sales videos......). I shouldn't
discourage you - give it a try - just don't expect much, alas.
Uh, Hope This Helps....
