For the last three years I have been using Desert Pixels, Will Merrill, for the photography of my listings for our MLS and for flyers.
Will's pictures are so superior that I generate twice the showings that I would have otherwise. I would not consider letting anyone else photograph my listings despite the many promotional offers I receive from his competitors.
Today, 89% of all homebuyers look at homes on the Internet. If agents are not using the best possible pictures, they are missing the most key part of helping clients to sell their homes.
Will is very considerate of the homeowner's needs. He works around the weather situation, which is important for getting the best shots.

Will is an excellent photographer. His photos are a true mix of art and science. He works "magic" making any property appear larger and better. I believe his photographs make a direct impact on how quickly a property will sell. I highly recommend him.
