Default Re: Poll - How Many Photos?

Ok, call me a gold digger if you must. But I take around 200 photos of the home inside and out. The only photos that make it to the report are of problems and safety issues. The rest I offer for sale to the client. Yes I said I sell them to the client. 9 out 10 buy them. I charge them $35 dollars to burn them to a cd and include them along with the report, invoice, sop, scope, and contract. Most of them like the idea of being able to show what the home looked like when they bought the home, or being able to show the insurance agent what the home looks like just in case of a disaster or break in. I know you guy are nice guy's, but quit giving your money away.

Downloading, resizing, placement, comments,circles , and arrows.
There is a price to pay for a good looking report.
I will stick with that method anyway.
I send them all to the client as an email attachment and reference the photo numbers in the report when things get out of hand.

Those little pic's in the report are not enough sometimes.
