Algarve photography for property renters

Here at Algarvephotography.net we specialize in producing high quallity photographs for the villa rental market and real estate sector, here in Algarve.

Your prospective guests search the internet for holiday properties, their initial choices are based soley on what they see, only then do they compare location, price, etc.

You, as an owner, have to get these potential clients to your virtual front door, then, using more pictures, show them around.

Therefore, the most important factor in the property rental business is the quality of the photography.

Enticing photographs tell more and sell more. It´s a fact.

We use specialist equipment, a host of props and a variety of professional techniques learnt over years of photographing houses and villas for rent.
We give you the oppertunity to present your property at its very best.

Improve your web image, improve your potential customers experience and sell more occupied weeks.
We spend time dressing each shot to produce images that are more enticing.

From as little as 300 euro per property  we will produce high quality pictures of your property that show it at its best, inside and out (see galleries), and we will also upload those pictures to a FREE web gallery online here at algarvephotography.net.

So, have a good look around our site and compare your own online image to that of the houses in our galleries.

Show your property in it´s best light

Dependant on villa rental income?
Caught in a catch 22? Cant rent, Cant sell?

Many property owners are very concerned about the coming 2010 season. Tourist figures for last year were down by all accounts and many owners are complaining about taking less bookings this year, than at this time last year.

This is a twofold problem.

Firstly, each year, more and more villas, farmhouses, cottages, windmills, etc enter the rental market and these are then placed with more and more online owner/agent websites.

It´s just becoming harder and harder to get your holiday property noticed online.

This is equally true in the case of the real estate market.

On top of this, some astute owners and agents have raised the standard of their online presentations,
by using professionaly made and hosted, photo galleries, slide shows and videos.

Secondly, there are more tourist destinations than ever to choose from and to compound it all there is a banking crisis and the economy is in resession bringing with it an expected downturn in property sales and in tourist numbers.

This would spell disaster, but for one thing. - people will still come to Algarve for their holidays and some will be looking to buy property here, it´s a fact, maybe not as many as in recent years but some will still come here, that´s for sure.

So all you have to do, is entice those potential visitors to stay in your property or buy your house. You owe it to yourself to, at least, give them a better idea of what your property has to offer so you can tempt them toward a booking or a sale.

To achieve this your online image will have to be better than most of the competing properties in the market. Only those shown well will do well.

Is your online image as good as it could be?

It does not matter if your property is large or small, luxurious or rustic in style, or on the coast or inland - what matters is how it is presented for market. The very first decisions made by those that come across your property are based soley on what they see. Only after this stage do they begin to look at location, price, facillities, etc.

Make sure potential buyers see what you have to offer in the best light.

Algarve Holiday Villa Photography - The A-Z of why you should be sleeping with us.

If you are the owner of a holiday property here in Algarve, Portugal (or anywhere else for that matter) and want to increase your yearly rental bookings and occupation rates then you need to increase your online appeal, with better photographs and a web video presence.

This does not only mean bright blue skies for outdoor shots, it also means spending some time making the bedrooms look enticing.

Look at the two bedrooms below. Where would you rather sleep?

Bedroom A

Bedroom B

Hands up if you voted for B.

Even if you dont like orange your eyes are drawn to the more colourful image.

These two photographs are in fact of the same room.

The “bedroom A” photo was taken by the owner and was being used to promote this villa online.
After talking to us, we persuaded him to paint the back wall and then we returned to take the new promotional photograph “bedroom B”.
For the price of a can of paint, this room has been transformed. It will stand out in the rental listings, meaning it will get noticed more.

In short, it´s more attractive. More attractive equals more bookings - SIMPLE

Here is a short video that may help inspire you to tempt more guests to your holiday home this year.

Algarvephotography.net produces photographs for Algarve holiday property rental and collates these into galleries and videos that can help show your property in the best light.

So, if you want to get ahead of the game, raise the bar and improve your online image, Call ++351 969 353 866 and ask Alan about Algarve villa photography and what we can do for you.

Rental Property Photography - Algarve Renovation Retreat

We spent some of Thursday taking photographs of Casa Gastronomica, which is between Loule and Benafim, for our clients, algarvehousing.net.

As you can see we were blessed with clear skies and the house itself is very photogenic, being a mix of  traditional meets modern in its renovation style.

Other owners of property, for the rental market, can learn a lot from these pictures.

You can clearly see the power of colour when used, both, inside and out.
Rooms can appear fresher or warmer, bedrooms can project a romantic air. Outdoor terraces become transformed by a backdrop of colour and a stage is set, imagine the outdoor terraces in the gallery if they were white - They would loose all of their appeal.

These colourful images attract the eye. Its as simple as that.

For the price of a can of paint all rental owners can give at least one room a colour makeover.

If you want to stand out from the crowd, and attract visitors to your web pages before they visit your competitors, then you had better start thinking in colour.

Remember, Attractive images attract guests. Its PIX appeal

Please let us know what you think of this Rental Property Photography Gallery.
