    Real Estate Photography: Invoicing

    Real Estate Photography: Invoicing


    Invoicing

    Posted: 13 Jul 2020 07:37 PM PDT

    Currently writing up an invoice through Square. First time I've actually noticed the Request Tip button, what are your guy's feelings on this? Should I always request it from my clients or should I just leave it out?

    Pricing for a smaller market?

    Posted: 13 Jul 2020 03:09 PM PDT

    So I recently moved back to my hometown of around 270,000 people compared to where I use to live with 1.2 million people. I'm trying to get some things going here with what I learned previously and I'm wondering for those who live in smaller cities, what's your pricing like?

    Anyone have an experience of getting into a partnership or % based pay per sale role as the photographer?

    Posted: 12 Jul 2020 11:52 PM PDT

    I do work exclusively for one agent because they pay my rates and they are with Sotheby's.

    I don't like dealing with shitty houses and lowballing agents so I don't market myself or seek other opportunities with realestate photography since I have alternative media work that pays the bills.

    However, I have come to a crossroads with this agent who considers me part of their team, and they are entertaining the idea of me helping with media more on a full time basis, since I also offer creative branding, marketing and website services, which they are looking to additionally hire me for.

    First off, I can't necessarily afford to clear my schedule to be more available just for this one client, unless their budget could permit that. Seccond, it complicates things when my rates are mixed between different services, so I'm compelled to consider the idea of % base pay.

    Could it be more lucrative to take on a % of the sale as opposed to fixed (varied) item line pricing?

    On the flip side, here are some figures if I just continue to bill normally instead of commission:

    • Normal shoot (per listing) $250-$1500 depending on house / services, (or more if we reach higher end someday)

    • branding, media and website design $3k - $6k

    • reoccurring monthly retainer $150-$600 (The Additional workload of loading new videos/photos, to website, mls, social media e.t.c)

    Website aside, I stand to potentially average $600/mo for just one basic small house shoot a month, and website updates.

    But, I'm trying to figure out if there is more money on the table via a fixed % cut, and what % an agent would be willing, if at all to offer, considering the value I bring.

    My thought is that if I get a decent cut, and have skin in the game, I would produce all of my premium services ($1500 value) on every house to help them sell, as opposed to omitting services based on available budget. Now I'm offering an average value of $1900/mo (one house a month, using all premium services + updating everything online)

    So... TL;DR Is it possible that a realestate agent would be willing to offer a % of the sale that would accomplish more or comparable numbers to 2k/mo - 25k/yr?

    Those numbers a reaching Into to employee sallery / partner territory and essentially the job description of creative director for an agent/broker, so I'm eager to hear any stories or experiences anyone has as a photographer taking on a bigger role with an agent/broker.

    Thanks!
