Terms & Conditions

1. If the photographer cannot adequately shoot the property once they arrive due to reasons beyond our control (such as, but not limited to, a) unable to gain access to the property, b) excessive clutter and mess, c) unrestrained animals), you will be charged the full fee of the shoot. We will not be able to wait more than 10 minutes for the home to be prepared. Please review the home prep guide and make certain arrangements have been made to access the property prior to scheduling a shoot.
2. It is the Realtor and/or homeowner's responsibility to have the home in photo-ready condition prior to the photographer arriving. The photographer may make minor adjustments to improve the shot, but cannot move furniture or make significant changes, clean the home, etc. Be sure to read the home prep guide several days prior to your shoot.
3. If, for any reason, you are unable to keep your scheduled appointment, please give 24 hours' notice so we can reschedule you at a more appropriate time and open your time slot to others. Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice may incur a $50 cancellation fee.
4. Please make any special requests known to the photographer before the shoot begins, including specific shots, angles and the like. Otherwise the photographer will shoot the home based on experience, the home's condition, lighting and several other factors to get the best possible shots. That sometimes means making compromises when it is necessary to shoot around things or compensate for the angle of the sun.
5. Standard turnaround is 24 hours after the appointment. If you need listing photos sooner, 6 Hour Rush Delivery is available for $75. Rush applies to still photos only; video, floor plans and other media are still delivered on the standard 24-hour turnaround.
