A local couple is selling their business: goodwill, support and IP and internet structure. She told me they use the above equipment. 15 minutes per house.
Down here (California), you see it occasionally but not often. You'll also see
photos of homes but most are of poor quality. Implying they're taken by the
listing agent.
I think the investment in each property would be much more than the 15 min.
alloted.

Thanks all.
So most real estate photos here are sh*ite too. This company actually posts really nice virtual tours, claim to have a really loyal clientelle but 18 - 20 competitors.
I have bought and sold businesses before, and of course would look at books etc. Right now, I can't afford their asking price, and also see no huge barriers to entry in this market.
Anyway, I am looking at being my own boss again for a variety of reasons. Just looking at whats out there, and this weird lens caught my attention.

Judging by a real estate friend of mine you might be surprised how quickly they really can photograph a home when quality is not required to be all that good.
Amy and I have been looking at a lot of real estate flyers for homes and most the time the images aren't very good, which is probably why the firms that provide this service don't charge a lot or spend much time. On the other hand, the quality of those small photos on the website have never deterred us from seeing or not seeing a home. So what if the color balance is a touch off, or the composition or lighting is a bit boring. That "bad" picture conveys enough information to let us know if we want to see the home or not. Tall and ugly bushes in front yard? A brick color we hate? Fireplace in the corner or the middle of the wall? Is the kitchen modern or casual? Etc.

If you are looking at buying a business, ask to see the books. If they tell you they don't have any, or they work off the books, beware.
I can hardly get my gear and load it into my truck in 15 minutes.
