Start, though! Can’t get better at a skill unless you practice it :)

Hmm, that’s a good question. The R6II is a very capable camera, but it’s not quite on par with the ZV-E1, in my opinion. Plus, there are far, FAR more Sony lenses available that are way more budget friendly than for Canon’s RF. I just bought a Canon R5C, and the 15-35mm f2.8 was $2000 alone. Whereas you could pick up a used ZVE1 for like $1700 or maybe less and then another $800 for a sigma 14-24mm f2.8. If you got an R6II and wanted to avoid spending a bunch of money for RF lenses, you’d have to get old EF lenses and adapt them, but then you’d have inferior performance than the Sony. Hope this helps.

@@reallyjordanhorn thank you! This really helped. I do have some EF lenses 20mm, 50mm and 200mm but they aren’t suitable for REP (except maybe 20 in some cases). So I’d need to sell my canon stuff and repurchase Sony. But I think I’d go with Sony A7C II. They share the same sensor with ZVE1, little worse for videography but excels at photos. I’d compromise on video but get 33 m pixels, EVF. For a beginner both are more than enough I think. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Mmmm, slight correction here. A7c2 has a similar sensor and performance to the A7iv, which has a 33MP sensor for photos, and can shoot 4k 60fps, but it carries an APSC crop (1.5x). Which means you’ll have to buy a full frame lens for photography, and a wide angle lens for APSC like the Laowa 9mm Zero D. Comparing the A7C2 to the ZVE1 isn’t a fair comparison. You might think 12MP isn’t enough, but for real estate photography, it’s more than good enough. I’d recommend the ZVE1 over the A7iv/A7C2 any day. ZVE1 does uncropped 4k 60, which means you’ll be able to use the same lens for photos as video.

@@reallyjordanhorn Jordan, what about a7CR? It can do 4K @60, but crops at 120 unlike zve1, right? But has 61mp for stills. Did you consider the CR?

At that point why not save some money and go for the ZVE1? I think you’re thinking megapixels are far more important than they actually are

There will be a curriculum coming out soon, just before the course does. And yes, editing for yourself will be included. Good to have a foundational understanding of all aspects of your business :)

I’d recommend getting good at all of them, as you don’t want to turn away any interested parties, but you don’t necessarily have to. And that’s a very big question - yes, there are many benefits to incorporating, but you’ll have to start doing research on that on your own, or talk to a CPA to see if it’s right for your situation. There are perks and benefits, and cons and drawbacks to every different option. Thanks for watching!

Glad you’re here! I go over all of this in different videos, so I’d encourage you to flip through. You definitely don’t need flash. I would definitely recommend building a website and portfolio before you start. I have a video called “how to build your portfolio and get clients”, I’d recommend giving that a watch

@reallyjordanhorn also Fotober is fine, they’re $0.85 per finished image

Looking forward to chatting!

Yup! In your editor, just change desired portion to x2 :) Thanks for watching!

I could have an entire business just with my iPhone. In the context of a beginner, an iPhone is all you need. I have an actual video camera setup, but I still end up leaning towards my phone 70% of the time.

@@reallyjordanhorn intresting... yea the thing is how clients might see you maybe they think if he is using an iphone for this then he is not giving the value he should be giving or they can use their own phone just as a first impression ofcourse or maybe they wount hire you because of that maybe im just overthinking... im gonna start this business next year...still debating weather or not to invest on cameras for photography videography ofcours 360 camera aswell fpv drone and normal Drone but i want to provide and give that proffesional feel and assuring my future prospects that i will and do deliver high quality work and give that good impression but in anycase...i do love your video helps me get a different view on gear but would be nice if you make a video of minimal gear needed for entry and the specs needed and mid gear budget and high gear budget ect... thankyou in advance!

For the first few shots, yes, but then I took it off

@@reallyjordanhorn so after taking it off is it worth shooting a cheap social media reel with or still go with the iphone?

Pocket 3 is a great camera don’t get me wrong, but iPhone wins hands down

M50 is a great photo camera! Get an iPhone 15 (or 16). Much more versatile than the pocket. But the pocket rocks too

Woop!!

Thank you my friend 🙏🙏

Thanks for watching!!!

Thanks for watching :)

Book is good info but it’s $40. Course is going to be far, far more in depth.

I don’t, but I have a discord community that you can find in the description of all my videos!

Hey that’s AWESOME! I’m so proud of you!!

Yup! It will go over a ton of info about client acquisition.

Thank you sir! I’m looking forward to guests :)

@@reallyjordanhorn As you should, Great way to get new people watching too!

💯

Yeah just sending interiors to an editor! So gas to get to the shoots, and then I think these were my $0.60 per finished image editor. So maybe all in, 40 total interior photos (roughly), maybe $24? And CubiCasa, free floor plans all day long baby

@@reallyjordanhorn Thanks Jordan. As for the CubiCasa, is it just a 2D? if you don't mind, would be able to share a snip of the floor plan you did on this video?

Just the regular 2D yes! And honestly, it has been so long since this shoot I don’t have access to it anymore, sorry. But it’ll look the same as any other floor plan done with CubiCasa haha

Thanks! The fx3 should be totally fine for photos. I think the sigma 14-24mm f2.8 will be best bang for buck. Great lens. I essentially had the same combo a while ago: a7s3 and the 14-24mm f2.8.

@@reallyjordanhorn Honestly i wanted a second camera not just for the resolution but when im on site and doing video and photos at the same time having to go back and forth putting putting the camera on a tripod then a gimbal and changing lenses ect is a huge time waster.. so you think their wouldn't be any notable difference in quality between the 2 cameras? but the new lens would be a big difference ?

Not a massive difference, but it is convenient having 2 bodies. I do the same. I have an fx30 for video and a6700 for photos now. Then they share lenses

@@reallyjordanhorn can i ask what you think about my current lens? will that make a bigger difference to photos then changing the body. allot of people say 15mm isnt good

I think the laowa is probably fine for video, but it’s a prime lens. Makes photos boring. Just get the sigma. It’ll be a much better lens

Thank you sir!

Oh dang, I’ve had mine for years and no issues. But yeah might be time to replace. All you have to do is re-pair it once you get the new one

Hello! DM me on Instagram so we can get this taken care of: @reallyjordanhorn

Hello! In order from your questions: CubiCasa (free app on your phone) Lightroom Classic and Photoshop, but mainly outsourcing to third party editors. Matterport, but dollhouses aren’t really super popular. It’s mainly about the virtual tours but they’re getting less popular. There are some other softwares, some are monthly, some are per space. You make the virtual tour by following the directions for whatever provider you’re using. When you use CubiCasa to make floor plans, you actually just walkthrough videoing the entire house’s walls. It extrapolates the rest of the floor plan from the video. Depends on what system you’re using, but iphone to Mac is easy to do via AirDrop. Or you can always upload from your phone to google drive then download on your computer. Thanks for watching!

@@reallyjordanhorn literally perfect i appreciate that sooooo much! I love the videos and info you give and im just starting. I thought dollhouse would be popular so i appreciate that heads up.

To each their own! I disagree, because I don’t want to rely on what the camera thinks I want to expose for. Getting used to full manual just gives far more control and doesn’t take that much longer

@@reallyjordanhorn Actually, the time to adjust the exposure for each shot adds up when going from room-to-room. It will take more time in the long run and is unnecessary. You obviously have not tested other methods. What is more concerning are the photos on your website [Monterey]. They have lens barrel distortion, vertical alignment issues, window bloom, blown exterior views, HDR color casts and amateur compositions. Before you call yourself a "master" RE photographer and offer workshops, you need to conduct a deep dive into the efficiency of your workflow and quality of your images.

Very welcome!

Yes indeed! 5 brackets, all 2 stops apart. Just do it for simplicity

You won’t find a lens and camera combo for that much, but you could pick up a canon m50, or a Sony a6000. You’d be around the $300 mark. But then you’d need a lens which would be probably another few hundred

Thanks for watching!

Thank you sir!

The only other additional thing I’d offer as to not dilute is just social media management or content creation for realtors. Most new business owners think the more they offer the more they’ll make, but it’s the seasoned entrepreneurs that know that niching down is where you make the most money

Check my pre-shoot checklist. It’s what I send to all my clients. I have strict rules about how the property needs to be set up before I arrive. No homeowners, no cars, no kids, no pets. If the realtor wants to hang out, that’s fine, but they have to be outside. Otherwise, if the property is full of people, they get charged an extra time waste fee. Pre-shoot checklist should be in the description, or you can find it on REPHUB.app in the downloads section!

​@@reallyjordanhornThanks Jordan! I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. I've only done a handful of shoots thus far and this is the first time this type of situation has come up. I always want to provide the best customer service possible. Unfortunately, the sellers are insistent on being there so I think I am going to have to turn this one down. I've tried working around it but they're rather inflexible and it's turning out to be more trouble than it's worth. I'm gonna check out that checklist and utilize something similar in the future, lesson learned. Thanks again 👍🏻

Sure can! It’s just classified as professional services or something of that nature.

Imagine what you’d get if you paid me! Haha Yeah usually just a $50-$100 price bump per 1000 sq ft. For your price anchor, $200 per thousand sq ft addition

I am actually considering to sign in. Is it includes the detailed shots or just the regular frames? I am very much struggling to price my service.. 😅

What do you mean? The photography? Like are you asking if I take detail shots? I don’t usually. Usually only for like long term rentals or short term rental properties.

Yes, close-up shots from the sink for example.

🫡 thank you sir. I fly under the radar

Central CA

@@reallyjordanhorn Cool thanks! I was surprised you were able to charge $1600 for this property given it’s not a luxury home. I’m in Atlanta and many videographers charge around the same price for a 7500-10k square feet luxury listing for all of those options! 😅

Haha, market plays into it, but a whole lot less than you think it does. It’s more about strategic positioning and getting good at sales and relationships. Knowing a bit about sales psychology and sales ladders with price anchors helps a ton, too. No other REPs in my area charge what I do, they’re all a whole lot less

@@reallyjordanhorn Love it! I was previously in sales for 4 years at a luxury car dealership and I’m now a Realtor. I started making videos to build an audience to generate leads, but now after realizing I have some talent and enjoy it, I’m considering pivoting to photo/video work. Seems like step 1 is build a portfolio/online presence, step 2 is contact every realtor in your city! 😂🤷‍♂️

Yessir!

Welcome! I recommend having an Instagram with the name as your area + real estate photography, and a picture of you as the profile pic!

Hilarious username - iPhone 11 is too old, I think it’s time for an upgrade!

@@reallyjordanhorn thanks lol my wife just “upgraded” me to that and phone lol

Hey! I’d take them at twilight. That comes into the service category of twilight photography and I usually end up using the pics that I take last. So if twilight is 7:45-8:45, I’ll end up using the pics closer to 8:45 so they’re nice and dark. Borderline night, but still some light

@reallyjordanhorn also, either lens is fine since it’s exteriors and you’re still just going to be shooting at f8. You’ll just have to make your shutter speed super low haha.

How many do you usually take and what do you charge for that?

Oh man, totally depends on the property, but I usually just retake all the same exterior shots and deliver them all. I charge minimum $250 for twilight photos, another $205 for twilight aerials, and another $399 for twilight video and $275 for twilight aerial video

And you just take 3 bracketed shots and order them as image enhancement in fotober correct?
