How To Make $100,000 Doing Real Estate Photography & Videography!

[@WebworxAgency]

The reason your business is gonna continue to grow is your one of the most humble/ successful re media KZbinrs. Nothing about this video came off as a flex but more of a peek behind the curtain of how you and your team accomplished this goal. I wish you all the success in 2024! As for video ideas… can you please do a video on how you plan out and expose a shot interior /exterior for C log 3? I can hardly find any videos on KZbin that explain how to expose C Log 3 for real estate. There’s tons that show you how to expose for people but not necessarily for rooms, windows, etc. thanks! 🎉

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Thanks so much for the comment, great thing to read this morning! Thanks for the video idea, that's definitely a good one! Thanks for watching!

[@mediaproimmo]

Congrats for achieving your goals ! 👌🏻 Thank you to share your experience and your tips !!

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Thanks, Christophe! Appreciate your support!

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Congrats on hitting your goals this year! You deserve it BTS video / simple vlog working with clients would be fun to see.

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Adding it to the list, appreciate it man! 😊🤙🏻

This is great stuff! I am a real estate agent who does their own work as I am also a photographer/videographer. My collogues saw my work and wanted to hire me. Now I am in full time RE sales and full time photographer/videographer, it was tough to outsource as I am also the type who has to have total control of all aspects. I now do my own listings (TC) my own photos/video edits but I outsource everything else and may hire an assistant photographer that I can teach my style. Working 70-80 hours a week for the last three years has really burned me out.

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Hey John, thanks for sharing! I can imagine, sometimes during the busy season I'd get to hours like that and it's too much. What are other things you outsource? Thanks for watching!

[@John-Shutterlyphotos]

@@AndreiRestrepo Now outsourcing video editing to a friend, I am not great at it and to to do a great job it takes me too much time. For photo editing outsourcing, using a friend since he can use my Luminar Neo and the presets I made that I prefer for a certain look. Photography is reaching near my RE sales business, it's crazy.

[@Stoicminded]

Amazing video brother! Super insightful and loved this type of format, keep killing it!

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Appreciate the feedback, thanks so much!

[@wrphoto1]

Thanks for this video and the other insights to your biz. You touched on a subscription/retainer model, how has that worked out? Have there been other things you’ve thought about rolling into a package for realtors or teams? I’ve been thinking about stabilizing the ups and downs

[@AndreiRestrepo]

It’s been great! I’ve only had around 2-4 consistently be apart of it but some of those packages range from $1K-4K so it’s been great reoccurring income on a monthly basis. But basically the packages are based on how many shoot days or time we commit to them on a monthly basis that basis, amount of photo & video deliverables, and anything else they need. Thanks for watching!

[@wrphoto1]

@ thank you! Hope this coming year will be great for you!

[@ClarkSandersPhotography]

Great content once again! Love the monthly content subscription for your clients! That’s an awesome idea!

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Thanks Clark! Definitely, nice baseline for sure. Thanks for watching!

You're welcome! @@AndreiRestrepo

Great tips and advice. What is your thoughts on Sipiro for real estate photography and video

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Thanks so much! I used Spiro for a little bit in the early stages and I think it had great potential! Haven't used it since last year during the beta phase but I think it's a great option if it makes sense for you and offers everything you need. Thanks for watching!

[@matthewwagner7975]

Dude this is incredible, great advice thank you!

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Glad to hear it, thanks for the feedback and for watching!

[@wildpatagoniafilms16]

Great tips mate! Are you shooting with the R5c...? 🤔 if so: how do you like. it.. are you happy with it... ? I'd love to hear your thoughts... thanks! ;)

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Thanks so much! Yes, I have the R5C as my main video camera, plus the R6ii for b cam + photos as well. I am! I'm going to be making a video on it for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@calebenson2543]

Great tips! Curious as to what your charge/offer for your monthly recurring video services?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Thanks so much! For sure. We start at $1000/month for a certain amount of lifestyle photos + short form video content and 1 shoot day. Then double that for double the amount of work and two shoots days, and so on. Currently have a couple on the middle tier and one on the entry level tier! Thanks for watching

[@williamsaylor3577]

I mainly do weddings at this time. What's your suggestion to have as seamless as a move as possible and still make money?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

I honestly went down a similar path! I was doing weddings and got pretty burnt out doing them and just started by connecting with friends/family that were realtors, or knew a realtor that could give me a chance and go from there. Learn as much as you can before you start too! Thanks for watching

[@AndreiRestrepo]

And re-reading your comment again, not sure if you mean to move from a full time job, to doing weddings, or to move from weddings to shooting RE

[@williamsaylor3577]

@@AndreiRestrepo actually both... I work FT and Shoot weddings probably 30 weekends a year. I'm burnt. LOL I've shot a few real estate sessions but I'd definitely like to increase and make that move. Thanks for responding

[@pbjackson84]

I have some questions about my camera and it’s functions, could use some pointer, how can we connect?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Connect with me in my community! You’d get a lot of value asking questions in our private discord group and from others as well.

[@seibelphotography4983]

What do you do for medical insurance?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Right now just the marketplace, like paying for it out of pocket for me, my wife, and my daughter. It’s ok, but not the best compared to getting it through a normal job. Thanks for watching!

[@seibelphotography4983]

@@AndreiRestrepo thanks, that’s where I keep getting hesitant to launch out, it’s crazy expensive. Great vid content man

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Yeah, it can be! I know you can get a credit based on the income you make on your own to help lower it. Appreciate it!

[@brandonlarsen03]

Do you have a media service agreement/contract template you sell?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

I don’t, that’s a good idea! But coming from the wedding industry, I just used a general photography contract/agreement template, and just have tweaked it to fit real estate needs. Thanks for watching!

[@burakmetealtinisik]

Hey Andrei, I want to become a real estate photographer & videographer, but I have no experience. Do you offer online training? If not, could you recommend how to learn this from scratch? I appreciate your help! Thank you!

[@AndreiRestrepo]

The community I started would be a huge help! I have a lot of newly started RE photographers/videographers in there so it would definitely be a huge help for you getting started. It’s on my website, and my latest video gives you a breakdown of what you can expect by joining! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIO3dKN8qciEZ7ssi=aPJohQ97s5sx3j4a

[@TMVVisualMedia]

Fantastic video!

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Thank you very much! Appreciate it greatly!

[@EliteAtlantaHomes]

Stripe charges 2.9%+30 cents per charge, WOW! That's almost $30 for a $1,000 gig just to process the payment. Seems absurd. If you process $100,000 for the year, that's roughly $3,000 you payed just to process the payments.

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Yeah true! What's the alternative though? For the amount of clients we work with, I'm not going to have them pay cash or a check, just wouldn't be doable in the long run. IMO, that fee covers the ease of using something like stripe, the analytics, and everything else it offers, and it's a tax write off!

[@EliteAtlantaHomes]

@@AndreiRestrepo Fair enough. Just seems steep to take 3% of your earnings pre tax. 1-2% would be more reasonable.

[@tripbreaker]

It’s 2024 brother.

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Yeah I know. I showed how my business made that much in 2023, and how those same principles will help people out this year, going into 2024. Did that not make sense?

[@ArmandoN]

@@AndreiRestrepo I think he means at 22 seconds, your text says Jan 2023. The assumption from the viewer is first week of January 2024. Just a little confusing

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Ahh yes, typo I didn’t catch. Thanks!
