Condo on Siesta Key

Our client wanted some better photos of her Peppertree condo that we are marketing. So we had our photographer go out there and do a reshoot. They turned out great in my opinion. Below are a couple of the new photos. What do you think?

(photos removed)

I am amazed at some of the grainy, dark and horrible photos that real estate agents use to market their properties. In a market like this you really need to stand out from the rest of the pack. Good photos certainly help do that.
