| How many of you are delivering 50 images (the max MLS count) to your clients? Posted: 01 May 2020 11:35 AM PDT I'm just starting out and I reached out to a couple realtors and builders. One asked me how many photos I would provide. Im only charging $150 per house at the moment and was going to provide 15 finished images since thats relatively cheap and still more photos than I usually see on the average listing. They shot back that realtors all require 50 edited images since that's the max you can upload to MLS. I know that's not the case since I have seen pricing for other protographers who charge over $200 for half of that image count. I have an acquaintance whose been shooting homes for a couple years...she's pretty good (has an interior design no lights on style) and she provides 50 images for $175...she hasn't raised her prices in over a year. I think she is doing herself a disservice. For context, $175-$225 seems to be the going price in my city (Richmond, VA). Am I the only one who thinks for 50 edited images realtors should be paying around $300 minimum per house in my city? If you aren't just running and gunning and are spending more than a couple minutes per photo in post, how can someone expect 50 photos for $175? No wonder so many photographers offer work with just basic harsh on camera flash and minimal post. [link] [comments] |
| Would you call out a long term client for using another photographer? Posted: 01 May 2020 04:37 PM PDT I've been doing RE Photography for 3 years and full time for about 15 months. When I started I was charging like $80 for flambiant images but it got my foot in the door and helped me gain experience. Over the last year I broke into the luxury market and my work and skill have increased a lot. Now I don't step into a house for less then $150 and I can pull $400+ for a twilight. One of the first agents I landed has always been easy to work with. She does about 15-20 houses per year but they're all like 1100 sqft and super easy to photograph. Because she was one of my first clients, plus I like her and she sends a decent amount of work I never raised my price on her. She knows she's the only person I haven't upped my prices on earlier. I did a shoot for her last week and when I looked at Zillow I noticed that her previous listing was photographed by someone else. I've done all her work for the last 2-3 years so I'm kind of annoyed she had someone else shoot one of her homes. I think what pisses me off is that I'm giving her a SMOKING deal so for her to go use some HDR run and gun guy makes me want to bump my prices on her. What would you do in this situation? Agents are free to use who they want but when I'm giving them almost 50% off compared to what every other agent pays me it kind of rubs me the wrong way. Obviously she used me after using this guy once but I'm a little annoyed still. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 May 2020 03:16 PM PDT Has anybody used this drone for real estate photography? Would be great to see some final pics. The price and weight are pretty appealing. I'm in Canada and nearly all properties in my area are within 5km of an airport/helipad, but this drone would be under the weight threshold allowing me to use it nearly everywhere.
