Hello Nathan! I love your books and your videos, and you have helped me so much in starting my Real Estate Photography. I do have a very specific question that I was hoping you could answer for me! I have a builder that is asking for edits of the exterior of their homes. It’s not for an MLS listing and so they are asking if I can enhance the exteriors with things such as your trees, green grass,and other landscaping. I don’t think I can provide the best edits for these types of things and the virtual staging software I am using does not do great with exteriors as it is really designed to add things like furniture. Do you have any recommendations for third-party, editors or software that would be good at exteriors?

Thanks for the excellent insight. This really made me rethink what I am doing in terms of my packages. I've been part-time the last few years while I built my skills and with retirement just ahead this has me thinking about my full-time practice. I'm planning on putting my 20 years of web experience to work and make the products I offer in my packages the things agents need to be successful with their clients.

Glad it was helpful!

Started using Apply Design after watching your first video about it and have had great success with the platform. I work exclusively for one client (my wife…lol), but I constantly get compliments from other RE agents. Definitely an “add-on” opportunity to expand your photography business. Another possibility is creating marketing pieces, both print and digital, with the images you’ve produced.

Do you have a resource on how you raise prices strategically?

Can I get some thoughts? I did a shoot for a client, sent images, No response. A few days later sent invoice, No response. 2 weeks go by I send a reminder, No response another 2 weeks, No response. Month later same thing no response. I check MLS sites she is using my images, we are now 130+ days no response and house is listed as accepting back up offers. So what would you do? thoughts?

One of the basics of REP is to not deliver photos to new clients until payment is received, also known as "payment before pictures". These are some of the fundamentals I talk about in by business techniques book, which in this case I'd highly recommend for you. Here's a link if you'd like to check that out: amzn.to/49zp3AY

Hello Nathan. What kind of Laowa lens do you have on your desk?

[@NathanCoolPhoto]

That's one of the Zero-Ds for videography work.
