As a REALTOR<\/a>, you know the value of great-looking listings<\/a> filled with plenty of gorgeous interior<\/a> and exterior photos of homes. While this may have called for hiring a professional photographer and\/or lugging along a large camera and plenty of equipment to the property, it is now quite possible to take amazing looking photos and videos with your smart phone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Of course, in order to create eye-catching listings that will increase sales and help sell your clients\u2019 homes for top dollar, it is important that you use your smartphone\u2019s camera to the best of its ability. With that in mind, let\u2019s look at two state-of-the-art smartphones and their impressive array of camera features:<\/p>\n

#iPhone 7<\/b><\/p>\n

The Apple iPhone 7 comes equipped with a large number of features that you can use to take stellar photos and videos. The phone features a 12MP wide-angle camera with optical image stabilization that can take regular still photos as well as 4K video recordings. More specifically, the iPhone 7 comes with a built-in telephoto lens that will allow you to get up-close-and-personal shots of a home\u2019s interior and exterior. If you put the phone\u2019s camera into Portrait mode, you can control the depth of the photo\u2019s field, much like you would with a DSLR camera.<\/p>\n

The iPhone 7 Plus has a standard wide-angle lens, along with a 2x telephoto lens that you can use to zoom in on the gorgeous marble countertops or travertine tile.<\/p>\n

The Portrait mode feature on the iPhone 7 is great when you want to get a super clear photo of your subject with a more blurred background. While this feature is especially useful when photographing people, you can also use it in a few of your real estate<\/a> photos for visual impact \u2014 for example, a picture of a fountain in the backyard or a close up of some of the hardscaping in the front yard. As a bonus, your iPhone 7 will give you prompts to be sure you are using the Portrait mode correctly \u2014 for example, you might see the message \u201cmore light required.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it\u2019s time to take video recordings of a home, the iPhone 7 makes it easy to do so; the 4K recordings are crystal clear and will highlight the wonderful features of the home\u2019s interior and exterior. Once the photos and videos have been taken, it is also extremely easy to export them to either your real estate<\/a> website or blog or social media pages.<\/p>\n

Samsung Galaxy S4<\/b><\/p>\n

If you own a Samsung Galaxy S4, you can also take phenomenal photos of houses<\/a> for your property listings. When the camera is in Auto mode, you can tap on whatever type of photo you want \u2014 this includes panorama, which is great for wide shots of an expansive front yard or a huge great room, selective focus and more. Tapping on the slider button will allow you to adjust the brightness of the photo.<\/p>\n

The S4\u2019s camera also includes a number of built-in settings that can help the photos look as professional as possible. For example, the Filter Effect allows you to select what filter you want for the photo and if you select the HDR feature it will make the photos appear more defined with more vibrant colors.<\/p>\n

Recording a video with the Samsung Galaxy S4\u00a0is also a breeze, and it also offers<\/a> the ability to take a still photo while shooting the video. Like the iPhone 7, it is easy and intuitive to share your photos and videos from the phone to your listings, Facebook page or in an email to the client.<\/p>\n
