About Me

Hi I’m DARRYL

For over 20 years I have been providing an outstanding customer service experience, along with a comprehensive range of services to assist in the marketing of properties.

As an ex Estate Agent business owner, I am able to easily identify the best photographic compositions that will truly showcase a space, that will assist in generating the desire to physically view the space.

I work closely in advising clients how to best showcase their spaces to maximise the quality of the photos & videos used in the promotion of their home or business.

I am known to go more than an extra mile when working to achieve the best photos &/or video possible & use many mastered creative techniques when editing photos & video productions to ensure maximum impact is achieved.

IF YOU REQUIRE A RELIABLE & EFFICIENT PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER/VIDEOGRAPHER

Having worked as an Estate Agent myself for many years, I am able to identify what are the most important key points required for businesses & particularly Estate Agents.

In the busy environment of a typical Estate Agent, you need to be able to schedule an appointment without the need of back & forth emails, therefore I provide an effortless direct diary booking system that is easily completed within just a couple of minutes. You will receive an email confirmation of your booking & then all further communication with your client/s is via myself.

I also guide your client in the preparation of their property, via a collection of emails, of which always receive excellent feedback in their helpfulness in presenting their property for the photo shoot.

Within 24-72hrs (90% within 24Hrs) you will receive your order via an email link to download the images & any other services ordered.

ITS NOT JUST ABOUT QUALITY PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY…

I know that the property business has become highly electronic over the past couple of decades & i have embraced the technology available to streamline the scheduling of a photo shoot straight into my diary. This gives YOU, the agent the peace of mind of not having to worry about waiting for a booking to be confirmed, & forever checking your email etc or the dreaded phone call from your client saying they’ve not heard from the photographer yet!

HOW MY SERVICE & PHOTOGRAPHY WINS YOU INSTRUCTIONS…

Because a home is the No.1 most important financial asset for most people & its history of memories with the current owner(s), the quality of the photography to help find a new owner is extremely important to them & thats why i deliver beyond their expectations, whilst at the same time providing a professional extension of your Agency brand, which in turn leads to recommendations to their family & friends, because the first thing they want to do is show these people the photos that i’ve taken of their treasured home.

I therefore can provide your client with the opportunity to preview the photo collection & share it with their family & friends in its full high resolution beauty! This then provides a long term reminder with your company logo watermarked on the photo collection as to remind whomever is previewing the collection, which Agent was responsible for the photography. 

I’LL ALWAYS ENGAGE WITH YOUR CLIENT….

Whether its about them & how long have they lived in their property, or the photos of their children hanging up on the wall. Talking to your client puts them at ease & makes the process shooting their home a far more enjoyable experience. They will be very nervous at this stage as they want their property photographed as best as it can be, so they want confirmation that they’re preparation doesn’t go unrecognised. So i always make a point of thanking the vendor for their hard work in preparing their home.

ENGAGEMENT BRINGS REWARDS FOR AGENT…..

Just a brief example of the importance of engaging with your client is a recent story, whereby i was shooting a probate bungalow & got chatting to the client & found out he was a developer (unknown to the Agent) & that he was halfway through the development of 9 apartments in a neighbouring town. I asked if he was committed to an Estate Agent, due to the land lead & i discovered he wasn’t. I then advised him that the Agent that had commissioned the shoot of his late mothers property, actually can cover that neighbouring area.

After agreeing that i can speak to the Agent regarding the small development of apartments, i informed the Agent and several months later they were instructed on a sole agency basis with an average sale price of £450,000 at 1.5%. Therefore simply because i engaged with the Agents client, they obtained commission totalling over £60,000 (SIXTY THOUSAND POUNDS)!

YOUR CLIENT IS AS IMPORTANT TO ME AS THEY ARE TO YOU….

I know how important a client is to you & what work you’ve done for them to entrust you with their property. Therefore it is highly important to present myself to them as an extension of your brand, rather than just a 3rd party supplier.

I take great pride in always hearing back from my Agents clients, in relation not only to the exceptional photographs of their property, but equally how i presented myself, from arriving at the scheduled time, to putting shoe covers on. It’s all about showing how professional I am & why your Agency use me over the many other choices available.
