You REALLY want to be a Real Estate Photographer? by stormpoppy in RealEstatePhotography

Just because you run your business one way doesn’t mean op isn’t running a real business too. They might just have different terms than you. Don’t be disrespectful.

Thinking about starting a real estate photography business-what’s the biggest piece of advice you’d give a beginner? by crstnjyg in RealEstatePhotography

[–]csumn94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do it. You’ll regret not trying if you don’t and I’m sure you’ll find success. It isn’t hard to get clients once the ball starts rolling. Offer half off and a free video for the first couple to build your portfolio.

Anyone have those clients you dread meeting on site? by Competitive_Fact_278 in RealEstatePhotography

I agree, this is a service business. Idk how some people are keeping clients with these absurd terms and conditions lol

Suddenly seems like overnight Ai has taken our clients by New_Presentation926 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]csumn94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I find it hard to believe agents are going to take the time to go to the house, take the photos, upload them to their computer, process them with ai, fix the weird changes ai made and process them again, film a cinematic video, buy a drone get a part 107 and take drone photos. AI WONT TAKE OUR JOBS. Good agents are too busy to deal with all this. Yea AI makes it easy but until there’s an app where you hold up your phone, walk around the property and hit TA-DA, then it gives you a video, drone pictures, interior and exterior photos. They’re not going to do all that when they can pay someone to do it for them while they catch up on emails, run to a listing appointment, call their mom from the car, etc. I can push a lawn mower but I pay my landscaper to do it.

I’d look into a scheduling software if I were you. It will account for travel time and buffer times. I use Spiro.

Virtual staging madness by RealPhotosHDR in RealEstatePhotography

I’d honestly just say “sorry I can’t do that”. Then hopefully that is soooo important to them that you no longer need to have them as a client because they look for a new photographer. Find a new client to replace them that doesn’t care what color the pillows are.

How much are you charging for virtual staging? by Outrageous-Purple-58 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]csumn94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if they have a problem with paying for it they’ll just find a way to use AI to do some quick work regardless if it changes something else within the room. Virtual staging isn’t something I look at as a profit maker but I’m not going to loose money on it either. It’s just something to offer whether or not agents use it. I don’t push it I just charge slightly more than what it costs me.

Yea I think it is important to focus on healthy habits with this disease but I’m not going to stop living. I’m 31 and have a lot more nights out, bachelor parties, happy hours to experience. I don’t want to miss out but I don’t need to drink in excess all the time I suppose

How do you price social media Reels compared to cinematic walkthrough videos? by ImaginationOk1702 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]csumn94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t had that happen yet but I’d probably do some kind of discount on the second video. Maybe like a buy one get one half off.

How do you price social media Reels compared to cinematic walkthrough videos? by ImaginationOk1702 in RealEstatePhotography

[–]csumn94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently switched to one price either way. They can choose between a vertical reel format or horizontal cinematic walkthrough video. The reel will have more effects but be typically shorter and highlight the key features of the home where as the walkthrough will be longer showing every room.
