Your headshot can make a difference, helping your image stand out in a competitive market.

How a Distinctive Headshot Helps a Realtor

In a competitive world where everyone is vying for attention, an attention-grabbing headshot can give you a few extra seconds of advantage. It's not just about having click-bait photo, however; it's about having a photo that represents your brand and your personality. 

A headshot should communicate your

  1. confidence
  2. approachability
  3. professionalism

When clients see a headshot that stands out, I believe they are more likely to remember you and feel a connection, even before meeting you in person.

Quick Turnaround Without Compromising Quality

Time was of the essence for this client, who needed her headshot ready for business cards being printed soon. She checked my online booking calendar to find the soonest date available. She shared her vision with me, including a few concerns along with her openness to a range of choices.  

During the Session, we took a variety of shots, playing it safe while also trying some fun and creative ideas. She returned an hour later to review the photos at the studio.  You can see the selection process and what she had to choose from in the short video below.

 

 In the end, she selected the headshot below. It's classic,  but different than the usual white-backdrop photos we see currently trending. She downloaded the image immediately and headed straight to print her business cards. No downtime in profits for this busy realtor!

The Impact of a 'Real' Headshot on Career Change

Making a career change can be daunting, especially when entering a field as competitive as real estate. A professional headshot – one that genuinely represents who you are, not an aspiration AI image – is a sharp tool in your business toolbox as you make your website, cards, LinkedIn profile, yard signs, ads, etc. When you feel confident, everything's easier.  I'd love to help you find that confidence!
