ELEVATED VISUAL MARKETING

Today’s buyers don’t fall in love at the showing — they fall in love online.

With over 95% of home searches starting digitally, exceptional visuals are no longer optional — they’re your first (and most powerful) showing. At Larson Miller Group, we invest in high-end photography, cinematic video, and drone imagery to ensure your property captivates from the first click.

We don’t just take pictures — we craft a visual experience designed to spark emotion and drive action.

 


Every listing includes:

    • Professional, magazine-quality photography
    • Cinematic videography showcasing flow, space, and lifestyle
    • Drone imagery to highlight land, location, and curb appeal
    • Thoughtful staging and styling support when needed

Why it matters:

    • Homes with 20+ professional photos spend less than half the time on market compared to listings with only one.
    • Listings with high-quality visuals receive 87% more views across all platforms.
    • Professionally marketed homes can achieve up to 47% higher price per square foot.

 

We treat every listing — no matter the price point — with luxury-level production and intentional storytelling. Because your property deserves to be presented at its absolute best.

OPEN HOUSES

A lot of buyers like to look at a home without any pressure. This is what we call the "two step" buyer. Most the time they start the process by going to the open house first then follow up with a tour by their real estate agent.

  • Several signs strategically placed around your neighborhood
