Orange County Real Estate Headshots

Real estate agent headshots

Real estate agents and brokers are in the business of working with people. Whether they are meeting with people or representing people, successful agents are client-oriented.

For real estate agents to be successful, besides referrals, it’s important to have a strong online presence. Standing out from the crowd of every other person being a real estate agent is crucial for surviving in this business.

Do real estate agents need a headshot?

Short answer, it’s practically impossible to be a real estate agent without having a professional headshot. A big part of being a successful professional real estate agent is creating eye-catching marketing material.

With the real estate market being so heavily saturated, you need to be memorable with strong content.

Do Real estate agents need more than one headshot?

Part of having good strong content is attaching your face to the material you put out. Having a variety of solid headshots for different marketing categories will go a long way for your business and attract different clients. For example, some people may be attracted to somebody that is approachable while others may want an agent that is tough and confident.

Some examples where real estate agents use their headshots for are business websites, social media, marketing material, online advertisement, banners, flyers, direct mail, house listings, business cards and more.  

Group real estate headshots

We work closely with a handful of local real estate and broker businesses where part of their onboarding process is for their new team member to come to our studio for their new headshot.

This is a great solution to keeping professional headshots of your team consistent and to look clean on the website. The brokerage groups that we work with also use those headshots to feature each of their agents, display ranking, promote podcasts and YouTube channels.

If you have a group of more than five agents, it may be easier for us to come to your office and photograph headshots at your location. If you don’t have an office with larger open space, photographing in our spacious studio. We can accommodate any number of people

Another great way to show off your company’s personality is adding on group photos and environmental portraits inside the physical office.

How tightly cropped should a real estate headshot be?

For real estate headshots we photograph from the chest up. The headshot should focus on the agents face more than anything.

To take your marketing materials to the next level, you can upgrade your headshot into a portrait session. Portraits are taken from the waist up all the way to including the full body. This will give you even more variety of photos to work with.

Best headshots for real estate agents

The best headshots for real estate agents that are eye-catching are the ones where the professional is genuine, authentic, relaxed, and having a good time.

A real estate agent that has an uptight appearance will not be attractive for most potential clients to work with.
