CHAD IS A PROFESSIONAL REAL ESTATE PHOTOGRAPHER & SO MUCH MORE!
Chad Shillady has worked most of his life in the real estate industry, with a long career history that began in the Chicago land area working for Chicago Title and Metropolitan Title. He started out at a young age in the title insurance business and worked his way up the ladder finding himself at the closing table handling 1000’s of residential and commercial transactions. Chad also served as the Network Administrator overseeing 13 offices. He took his comprehensive industry knowledge and became a Sr. Loan Officer with US Bank in Illinois. After an offer by Draper and Kramer Mortgage, Chad relocated to Miami Beach, FL, becoming their in-house loan officer handling large ocean and bay front condo conversion developments. After moving to the desert, Chad decided to apply his wide range of industry experience and transition into the role of real estate agent, further providing the outstanding customer experience.
Shortly after Chad received his Real Estate License in 2006 he realized, while looking through 1000’s of listings, there were to many real estate agents doing their clients a dis-service by using horrible listing photos, worst of all, cell phone photos, of their clients homes. That’s when Chad saw the opportunity to make his clients properties stand out by providing his clients with the most beautiful attention grabbing interior flash photography, exterior, twilight, and drone photography. As well as, interior home videos, and exterior drone videos. But, Chad didn’t stop there, he also provides his services to other agents throughout the Coachella Valley, for those agents that understand the importance marketing their clients properties with the highest quality photos and video makes.
Why should you use Chad?
"You may ask yourself, why are my clients willing to spend the extra money to hire me to photograph their listings? Because typically, not only does it pay for itself, they get paid faster by getting their listing under contract faster.
You may ALSO ask yourself, why isn’t my agent paying for professional photography? That’s a great question, but an even more important one, is why did you hire them the first place, if they believe cell phone photos are the best way to present your biggest investment to the world of potential buyers?
This is costing YOU, THE SELLER, more time and more money to sell your house (Your biggest investment) all because the agent wants to save a couple hundred dollars? If your excuse is, well they’re friends or family, that’s even worse. They should be working harder because of that relationship they have with you!"
