Editorial Reviews

Review

Every serious real estate investor, property manager, or REALTOR® should have this book by their side.

I have been working with investors, landlords and REALTORS® for over 17 years and have never come across a more practical book that can immediately impact your bottom line. Marketing with photos is now more important than ever. I have seen a small percentage of ads with excellent pictures, but most have poorly planned inadequate photos. Many fantastic properties have been passed over because the images failed to pull in buyers or renters. The initial reaction by the owner or realtor is to change the price or rent, (costing them money) when in fact a few better planned photos would solve the problem and possibly even allow them to increase their price.

Put this book on your desk and take it with you every time you take pictures of a property. --Don R. Campbell, President, Real Estate Investment Network, Best Selling Author of Real Estate Investing in Canada 2.0

This book should be part of every serious REALTORS® tool kit. It is practical, beautiful, artistic and easy to read and digest.

Having the ability to take good pictures should be the price of admission for a realtor, but sadly varies from excellent (rare) to laughable (often). The principles and tips in this book will exponentially improve your picture taking skills and therefore your marketing efforts.

Whether you are experienced or new to the real estate business, do yourself a favour. Buy and read this book! --Tracie Giesbrecht, Sales Representative, Royal LePage Niagara R.E. Inc.

Carla's book COMPLETELY changed my perspective on how to sell a house - she saved me a *fortune*! Trust me, if you're selling, you need this book!! --Peggy Richardson, Humanus Publishing

More About the Author

Carla Johnson is a much-loved Art and Music educator, a photographer, a real estate investor, a mom and a wife. Her book "Magnetic Real Estate Photography" is a natural result of her talents, her vocation and her passions. As a real estate investor and photographer, she has seen firsthand how just a little extra time and effort can enhance an image to magnetically attract a potential purchaser or tenant. Her photos of her own home helped sell it in less than 2 days, with 4 competing offers, in the depths of a recession.

Carla lives in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. On her holidays, if she's not on a beach in a warmer climate, she is entertaining on the deck of her family log cabin. Her cabin is near Lake Huron and is a true get-away. It is off-grid and has no cell service.

If you have the opportunity to meet Carla in person, you will be struck by her outgoing, flamboyant personality and her 6'2" statuesque height. She loves public speaking, stage work and performing. Carla is passionate about life and helping people get ahead.

As a real estate investor, she regularly searches online for her next opportunity. Her inner photographer has been frustrated by the excessive number of poor online property ad photos. She is concerned that real estate professionals don't understand how crucial their photos are to their business. Pictures are the front line of all real estate advertising and in this business first impressions are everything.

The power of a simple photo to connect to a person's soul has always intrigued Carla. With her first book "Magnetic Real Estate Photography," she wants to bring that power to the one business that is close to her heart and most likely posts more images online than any other business - real estate.

2.0 out of 5 stars Awful photos :(, November 25, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Magnetic Real Estate Photography (Paperback)
The book is positioned as a guide "for photographers of all skill levels." At the same time - 90% of photos in the book are made at the amateur level - the author did not even bother to correct the verticals, which is the standard in the professional photography of interiors. Some pictures are darked - it shows the author's inability to use artificial lighting or even HDR photography technology. Several printed full-page photos frankly blurred...

Impression of the visual part are very depressing.

I hope that at least a textual part will be useful...

This review is from: Magnetic Real Estate Photography (Paperback)
I am really dissapointed with this book. Nearly all the pictures are bad (even te 'after' ones) and the tips are wrong.
Sorry, but it's a waste of my money.

This review is from: Magnetic Real Estate Photography (Paperback)
The book is nicely designed and printed, with lots of the author's color photos to illustrate her points. It is squarely aimed at the DIY person who needs to take some pictures for the sale or management of real property, and who wants to avoid investing in professional photography. I was intrigued by her suggestion to use a relatively high vantage point to better illustrate the potential flow of a room. This tactic results inevitably in distorted vertical lines, something that pro photographers always try to avoid. Which is the right choice? I'm still pondering that one.
