All properties are multi-family buildings that require working around the tenants' furnishings for the interior shots, which can be challenging. Joe always manages to make all the units look their best. His exterior photos are attractive in that he has an eye for the proper lighting to enhance the buildings aesthetics. > > He has a great attitude and exhibits an extensive knowledge of photography. He gets along great with everyone, is always on time, pleasant with everyone .......even when it's 115 degrees in the desert. > > Joe will also make helpful suggestions from an artistic viewpoint to improve the property's appearance. He's always on time, professional and I would never consider working with anyone else. I would also never ever take my own photos............... **★★★★ — riding4home, Nov. 2014** > Joe Stemmer Photo was easy to schedule the project of photographing one of our new vacation rental homes in Palm Springs. We loved his work and started to use him on all our vacation homes. His level of professionalism, the fast turn around for each project was amazing. I would recommend him to anyone who needs great real estate photos. **★★★★★ — Premier Properties, Nov. 2014** > Joe is terrific at what he does, a true professional. He's my go-to guy for professional house photos within the Coachella Valley. He is meticulous and carfeful with all his shots.
