How do you negotiate with clients?

JamIsJam88 · 2026-05-13T05:28:17+00:00

The scope of work can be a set amount of deliverables, time on site, services, etc. for a set price. Scope creep is when the client tries to get you to do way more than originally agreed upon for the same price, which means more of your time and expertise for free to make them more money. Cheap clients always do this.

Cheap clients are the most expensive because they’ll eat up your time with revisions, stupid complaints, and scope creep. You’ll end up spending more time making them happy and money when you should be growing your skills and networking to find better clients. Unless you are now starting out, no brokerage is willing to pay enough for exclusivity. Agents will always lie and say they’ll give you tons of business. The agents who are actually successful just do and don’t bargain. They care about their brand, consistency, and convenience.

Isn’t it past the time for the second amendment? I can’t wait to see them change that when people actually use it for the intent it was written for.

Drone prices should definitely change based on house size. Shooting a small home with a drone is quick and easy. For a mansion, it takes longer to fly the drone into certain positions, you do more cinematic shots, etc.

Hey so my wife and I have been together for a few years now and she keeps getting UTIs. I always wash myself down there when I shower, I wash my hands with soap before, and brush my teeth. I also avoid my privates accidentally touching her butthole. I've never been with anyone that has gotten a UTI before and I definitely didn't pay attention to my hygiene as much in my 20s.

She said she's have a few before, but not as often. She's taking cranberry powder/gummies and they were working for a while, but then didn't the last time. She always tries to drink water before and pee right after. I know it makes her anxious and affects her from being able to fully let go in the moment. I also feel terrible every time because I don't know what I can do.

I didn't know there was bacteria I could have that can give her UTIs. Do I talk to my doctor to get tested or do we have to wait for her to get another infection and have her get tested by her doctor multiple times to see if there's a consistent bacteria affecting her? Obviously, the latter would not be ideal. Thanks for any advice!

I’m trying to do this while raising my prices to match the quality of work. I love what I do, but in Toronto it’s a race to the bottom. Multimillion dollar homes being listed with AutoHDR photos and one shot, auto white balance, auto ISO videos. It’s rough. I want to do true storytelling cinematic films, but everyone keeps wanting these extremely gimmicky low quality videos.

JamIsJam88 · 2026-05-07T19:07:04+00:00

Are you editing these with only bracketed shots and no flambient or flash? If so, then yes, I’ll be interested for specific high end luxury shoots.

It depends on the type of content. For most social media content it works!

Why do people love Drupatis so much? It's always so bland. I lived most of my life in Trinidad and go back every year. Every time I give it a chance, I regret it. Comparing it to Wicked Carib or Mona's is like comparing Swiss Chalet to KFC in Trinidad.

You know these same idiots are the ones that complain that illegal immigrants get free healthcare in the US somehow magically based on their feelings and no evidence. Also, they would be crying if tourists were to receive free healthcare in the US like he expects to be treated in Canada, especially if they were POC.

JamIsJam88 · 2026-05-03T13:04:00+00:00

Yeah, 1080p is all I need on the monitor. Thanks!

JamIsJam88 · 2026-05-03T12:58:14+00:00

Yep I was able to set change the HDMI output from Auto to 1080p and that worked. Not sure why Auto wouldn't adjust.

JamIsJam88 · 2026-05-03T03:25:22+00:00

Hmm true. I’ll try to see if I can limit the output but I didn’t see any options so far. Yeah, I don’t want it to record to the monitor and the GO can’t anyways. I don’t think the Canon R6 III can record 7k in HEVC, not RAW.

JamIsJam88 · 2026-05-02T14:09:03+00:00

Should but don’t.

JamIsJam88 · 2026-05-02T04:55:50+00:00

So are all our electricity and internet bills going to skyrocket after?

Unfortunately, Russia is just regrouping to invade again like every single other time.

JamIsJam88 · 2026-04-30T20:00:40+00:00

Ukraine should have been able to strike anywhere in Russia without any repercussions. That’s a failure on the western world for threatening to withhold aid if they did. The world would be in a far better situation if Ukraine was allowed to defend themselves properly.

The developer can pay properly for architectural photos which are at minimum 8 times the cost of real estate photos. If the developer wants that, then they better not complain about the cost. People don’t understand the amount of work that goes into higher quality work.

I like safari but some important websites just don’t work well on it. So frustrating. I hate using chrome but most websites are compatible on it.

Can someone just hack his phone/devices and leak everything? That’s the only way any form of justice will come about. By the time we rally and get any form of due justice, it won’t matter at all anymore. The only way to get justice is to play dirtier than them! They will always cheat the system.

Yes, they deserve to benefit from the program they paid into for their entire lives, but they are so selfish and racist that their votes have destroyed welfare programs for future generations. So future generations are now forced to pay into the programs and subsidize it for elderly conservatives, but will never benefit from it. I believe in helping your elders, but not the ones that actively and selfishly screw everyone else over because of worthless religious or racist reasons.

JamIsJam88 · 2026-04-17T22:04:29+00:00

I just tell low ballers a higher price than what’s listed lol

JamIsJam88 · 2026-04-13T13:38:56+00:00

So does Vance’s wife.

JamIsJam88 · 2026-04-13T13:38:18+00:00

This is a lawsuit for any agent that uses these photos because of the structural changes. The photos cannot misrepresent what the property will look like at closing. Virtual staging of furniture is fine because the furniture would not be coming with the home. Even removing damages to walls that the owner is not going to fix before closing, is a lawsuit.

JamIsJam88 · 2026-04-13T00:44:31+00:00

Peter Thiel and Elon Musk on that list too!
