about Carla
Carla Johnson is a much-loved Art and Music educator, a photographer, a real estate investor, a mom and a wife. Her book “Magnetic Real Estate Photography” is a natural result of her talents, her vocation and her passions. As a real estate investor and photographer, she has seen firsthand how just a little extra time and effort can enhance an image to magnetically attract a buyer or tenant. Her photos of her own home helped sell it in less than 2 days, with 4 competing offers, in the depths of a recession.
Carla lives in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. On her holidays, if she is not on a beach in a warmer climate, she is entertaining on the deck of her family log cabin. Her cabin is near Lake Huron and is a true get-away. If is off-grid and has no cell service.
If you have the opportunity to meet Carla in person, you will be struck by her outgoing flamboyant personality and her 6′2” statuesque height. She loves public speaking, stage work and performing. Carla is passionate about life and helping people get ahead.
As a real estate investor, she regularly searches online for her next opportunity. Her inner photographer has been frustrated by the excessive number of poor online property ad photos. She is concerned that real estate professionals do not understand how crucial their photos are to their business. Pictures are the front line, the *sell*, in all real estate advertising and in this business, first impressions are everything.
The power of a simple photo to connect to a person’s soul has always intrigued Carla. With her first book “Magnetic Real Estate Photography,” she wants to bring that power to the one business that is close to her heart and most likely posts more images online than any other business – real estate.
Real Estate Investor, Photographer, Musician, Public Speaker, Teacher, Mom, wife and many other hats.
Thank you for reading my blog. I am promoting my new book “Magnetic Real Estate Photography.”
Many real estate professionals don’t know how to take effective shots and they don’t seem to know it! I don’t think they have been taught how to take proper shots. Too many listings have photos that are turning people away. Taking RE photos is fairly simple and you only need simple equipment, you just need to know how to use what you have – especially your EYES!
