Why Good Karma?

After a 20-year career in retail starting as a part time sales associate and moving all the way up to Regional Director in charge of hundreds of stores in numerous states, my wife and I decided to move from our home state of Iowa to Denver, Colorado. Always a photography hobbyist, I noticed a lack of quality photos on the web while looking for a home. Some were simply not professional photos, some were dark, crooked etc. But others were over-processed and actually looked like an artist rendering. I wanted truth in photography. I wanted photos that actually looked like the home I was going to see, not an over-produced version or a poorly photographed version. So I started practicing real estate photography and working to get the photos to look as good as possible, but also to be a truthful representation of the home. With truth in photography, there would be fewer showings needed to sell the home, resulting in fewer disruptions to the seller and less work for the Realtor, and a better experience for the home buyer. So in 2007, we started Good Karma Photo with that goal in mind. Of course in a business, you can set many goals and strive to meet them. But none of them will be successful if you can’t achieve what was my single goal in retail, and is now my single goal in real estate photography— to make the customer happy. Sound simple? With Good Karma Photo, it is!

Thank you for choosing Good Karma Photo,

Once upon a time, after having been in the Real Estate industry for 12 years and built multiple successful businesses, there was a leads group that I was encouraged to be a part of by some good friends in the industry. I kept hearing how great this Denver Independent Brokers (DIBs) group was…oh and my partner John leads the group and he is so funny, you have to meet him. So I did what all business people do and met the guy for coffee at good ‘ole Starbucks. Well, the rest is history as they say. Through our business relationship, then friendship, we quickly discovered we had similar philosophies — Offer the best product and the best customer service to our clients, at a reasonable price. I quickly realized that Good Karma Photo offered a superior product/service in the Denver Real Estate Photography market. As an entrepreneur, I saw an opportunity for growth so more agents throughout the Denver Metropolitan area could provide excellent MLS photos and Virtual Tours to their sellers. And so it began, a partnership to continue to build on an already great company. We look forward to working with you! Oh, and that DIBs group is pretty cool. Contact us if you’d like to check it out!
