I watched 9 minutes of this video then I realized the name looked familiar. You were the one that reached out to me on Reddit saying I should start outsourcing my edits... I have been ever since! haha. Subscribing!
@@PizzafromthepresidentPretty much. Whenever I get them back I may remove a few objects that don’t belong and resize the photos so they aren’t so storage space intensive. 👍
I have a mini course in the works for that! But pre-ordering the introduction to real estate photography will cover everything you need as well. 50% off until it’s live (which will be soon!)
I did a video showing how I edit my exteriors! I outsource all my interiors! You can find the video on how to edit exteriors with a link to my free preset on my channel page!
Great value in honesty here... It's all business, as soon as you're working as amateur with extended tripod center rod, with 12-24... It proves where the world has gone quality wise and what kind of contents mostly goes on RUclips... Well, that's what unions were doing. Great video! 😊
@@samarianosansnot just photos.. Photos Aerial photos Aerial video Matterport virtual tour Social media videos Floor plans Listing websites Etc. You have to focus on your bundles if you want to make more money. You aren’t going to be successful just taking photos of houses. It’s all in your service offerings and your ability to upsell. Thanks for your comment!
wow! Talking about speed and efficiency!!! Well done! Never Thought about using the Iphone... 🤔 but makes sense specially the 14 pro & 15 pro quality wise! Regarding the 3D... do your clients ask also for Zillow tours or Matterport more often? (I'd love to see how you do & set up the 3D tours with the Ricoh camera! ;) ). Thanks mate! cheers!
Hello! Thanks for your comment! Yeah I love my iPhone, I’m looking to get the 15 Pro Max soon, too! As far as 3D virtual tours go, I have never once been asked for a Zillow tour. Only Matterport! I’ve got a video showing a bit about using the Ricoh Theta Z1, it’s on my channel, but I’m going to remake it soon, too! Thanks for stopping by :-)
@@reallyjordanhorn hey thanks! Looking forward to it! 🤔 Any reason why no one asked you for Zillow tours? why do you think that is...? I've been told Zillow is cheaper, thought that would create more demand..? cheers!
@@wildpatagoniafilms16 honestly, I’ve never looked into it too deeply. Since I’ve never had someone ask, I figured there wasn’t too much demand for it, so I never even added it to my website as an offering. In my opinion, it’s better to niche down and pick one thing to “specialize” in. Sure, a Zillow tour would probably be just as easy to do as a Matterport, but I *usually* don’t provide new services until I see demand for them in my market, and I haven’t seen anyone getting them too much here.
you’re great and thank you big time for giving out so much value to us who are learning about the business. however i think your clients deserve MUCH better “cinematic” videos for the money they are paying you
New subscriber, thanks for your channel. I'll sneak in 2 quick questions please. 1. Do you use an editor for your videos as well as your stills or are you taking care of that side; many seem to offer a longer timeframe for delivering that? Also do you ever combine a flash shot that may help the editor with windows or color. Don't seem to get so many bright California properties here in the North East. Thank you.
Hey thanks for joining the team! 1.) no, not anymore! My workflow is fast enough now to where I can bang out a listing video edit in about 30-45 minutes. I enjoy editing them and haven’t found super great success with third party editors. 2.) nope, no flash! I refuse haha. I used to, it just takes too much extra time. I have other services I need to get done besides photos. Thanks for stopping by :-)
Check out the second half of this video: How To Do Real Estate Videos & Virtual Tours For Your Business ruclips.net/video/0_aZMmmlzpY/видео.html Or this video: ruclips.net/video/s7IOe7SKMA8/видео.htmlsi=aqrcItwC5oSr9z7R
I'd love to see a how-to video on how you've been so successful at mastering your "who cares, it is just photos" into a career as a photographer. Only one work-flow question comes to mind while watching: Does he swallow or spit in the sink while dipping tobacco during a shoot?
Haha, I will admit this got a good chuckle from me. I’m guessing you’re a regular photographer, who then either got into real estate or is wanting to. For real estate photography specifically, after a couple hundred houses, then to a couple thousand, the process becomes identical. After about 20 houses, I’d say, you’ll start to lock down the process and realize that it truly is as simple as setting the camera down and taking a photo. While photos are important, yes, where you’ll make the bulk of your money is in your add ons like video, drone, virtual tours, floor plans, etc. I know you were simply trying to be mean and post a witty comment, but I can tell you don’t have the experience that comes with years upon years of doing this; so I thought I’d outline something helpful. And on the flip side, if you want to take an hour doing just photos for $200, more power to you. But when I have 7 services to get through, it becomes overarchingly about the overall average quality of the sum of services, rather than every single service being incredible. Have a good day, and happy holidays, my friend. I truly hope that whatever internal conflict you’re going through is eased during this time of family and thankfulness as 2024 comes to an end. All the best, Jordan. (PS, I’d spit it in the sink)
I do not! Short answer - money. I only shoot flash when someone wants to pay for it, usually for luxury properties. When I shoot flash, it’s for minimum $600 per property. Regular HDR? Like $250. Most realtors go for HDR
Great video! I’d love to get into this stuff. Do you ever have to stage the property or do you just let them know to leave it in good shape? I’m sure you move things around a little for compositions but just wonder how much “cleaning” is involved 😂 Edit - I’m only 5 mins in so maybe you cover that later. Sorry if you do 😄
I never stage! That becomes a slippery slope that leads to agents not preparing the property. I have a pre shoot checklist that goes over additional fees and such, but it basically says “the house is going to be shot as is”. The extent of what I will do is make sure dining chairs are straight and pillows aren’t fallen down. Anything else isn’t our job at all haha
@@reallyjordanhorn thanks for the reply!! Yeah that makes a lot of sense actually, just covering your ass like that :D Loved the video, will check out the rest!
@@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! 😂🤷♂️
So I am new to real estate media, how do you come up with pricing? I know experience comes into play so I am curious how long you have been doing this for as well?
Pricing is mainly driven by market competition. If the range for photos, for example, is between $150-$300 for photos, then you want to ideally land somewhere in the middle once you’re comfortable with your results. Obviously you don’t want to be the highest priced in your area, but you definitely don’t want to be the lowest. So market research is first and foremost, and then just what your clients are willing to pay. I’ve been in it for 4 years. Thanks for commenting :-)
Hmmm, great video suggestion. I can already tell you right from the start that it won’t be good enough and you’d probably be better off taking pictures with your cellphone, but it seems like a fun video to make. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hi Jordan, i like your and enjoy your videos most of the time.. BUT!! Photography is the pinnacle of real estate marketing followed by floorplans and than video.. I believe its crucial you nail down the photography in all aspects rather than cutting corners. You eat with your eyes and poor photos dont make good viewing
Hey thanks for swinging by! Yes, I do agree. But once you have your eye trained, there’s no reason to spend more than 5 seconds on a photo for a regular non luxury listing. You can instinctively know what photo will be good and what won’t be. I think all the services are important, but with interior photography and videography being equal but for different marketing methods. Photos for the MLS, video for attracting people on different channels to go to the MLS, then ultimately to go to a showing. Thanks for watching!

Who do you use outsource your edits too?
