I don't agree with you. If you are a high performing agent the opportunity cost of shooting processing photos doesn't work. Also it does not cost $1000s...the average is 2-300. It is more of an issue of what you want to be an agent or photographer.

@SquireArmstrong I respectfully disagree. If you think it is possible to shoot a luxury property for $200 and satisfy your clients, by all means, pass the name of the photographer along. It might not make sense in an average price point, but then again, if you are trying to separate yourself, why not shoot good photos and not photos with a cheap camera like everyone else? I have 80 listings.. at $200/per that would be $16k. The camera pays for itself and my photos are better than the competition

Great question. When I shoot HDR, I am typically using ISO 100, F stop 9-11 and I will use the AV setting so the shutter speed is automatic.

what f stop, shutter speed, and ISO did you use?
