What a real estate photography job produces
A standard shoot covers every room, the exterior, and any amenities, delivered as edited, web-ready images sized for the MLS, StreetEasy, Zillow, and your own site. Most photographers offer twilight exteriors, floor plans, and short video clips as add-ons. Say in your post how many photos you expect and where they will be used so bids are comparable.
Apartments, houses, and buildings
A one-bedroom in Queens, a two-family in Borough Park, and a new development in Rockland County each need a different approach: wide lenses and careful lighting for small rooms, exterior timing for brick facades, and staged common areas for a building. Local photographers know the light and the layouts and can usually schedule within days.
Combining photos with a 3D walkthrough
Many customers post photography together with a 3D walkthrough so the listing has both polished stills and a tour a buyer can click through. Vendors who do both quote the package in one bid, which is usually cheaper than two separate visits.
What to ask every bidder
Ask for a link to recent work on similar properties, whether editing and sky replacement are included, how many days until delivery, and whether you receive full usage rights for the images. Those four answers are where quotes differ most.
