How to price the Real Estate Photography?


When you have that decent portfolio and had been adequately visible in the communities of photography, getting the first client will not be that hard.

However, knowing the appropriate cost to quote without over/under selling will be hard, particularly for those starters. The pricing involved multiple features, from the time this will take you in taking the pictures up to delivery. The other aspects will be the home size, whether you’re working with the local real estate agents or the big real estate companies.

Below are the quick pricing tips for the real estate photographers:

  • If you are sure of your proficient skills, only accept the reasonable payment, but not ‘exposure’ or the future business opportunities. When someone proposed the latter, reject the proposal in a firm and very polite manner.
