The job

  • You photograph homes that real estate agents are listing for sale: interior and exterior photos, drone photos and Matterport 3-D tours.
  • Independent contractor (1099), part time to start. Expect 3 to 5 photo shoots a week at first. As you grow with us, you can do 4 to 5 shoots a day.
  • We schedule shoots 7 days a week. You set your own hours and days.
  • All scheduling, editing and delivery is done by our office team.
  • Pay is a percentage of the price of the products you shoot, about $30 to $90+ per appointment.
  • This is a contractor position, so there are no employee benefits.

What you need

  • A professional DSLR or mirrorless camera that can shoot 5 or 7 exposure brackets at 2 stops
  • A wide-angle lens (10–18 mm for a crop sensor, 16–35 mm for full frame)
  • A tripod
  • A drone. About 95% of our work is on the ground, but a drone is still required.
  • A 360 camera that works with Matterport, such as the Ricoh Theta SC2 or Z1 (see Matterport’s list, or ask us before you buy)
  • An FAA Part 107 drone license before you start working. You do not need it to apply.

Missing something? Apply anyway. You can go through the hiring steps while you get the rest; you just cannot start shooting until you have it.

Questions

Where are you hiring?

Anywhere in the United States. If we do not serve your area yet, we can open it.

Do I need all the equipment to apply?

No. You need all of it before you can start shooting, but you can apply and go through the steps while you get what is missing.

Do I edit the photos?

No. You shoot bracketed photos and send them in. Our editors do the rest.

Is this a full-time job?

It starts part time. How much you work depends on your availability and how busy your area is. You are an independent contractor, not an employee.

How do I get paid?

You are paid a percentage of the price of each product you shoot, about $30 to $90+ per appointment. The contractor agreement has the details.

Do I need real estate experience?

It helps, but it is not required. We want to see work you are proud of and a set of bracketed photos.
