The reason your business is gonna continue to grow is your one of the most humble/ successful re media RUclipsrs. 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 RUclips 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! 🎉
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.
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!
@@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.
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! ;)
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!
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
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!
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! ruclips.net/video/JRTCpFtcQ1Y/видео.htmlsi=aPJohQ97s5sx3j4a
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 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
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!
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?
@@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

Thanks, Christophe! Appreciate your support!
Amazing video brother! Super insightful and loved this type of format, keep killing it!
Appreciate the feedback, thanks so much!

Congrats on hitting your goals this year! You deserve it BTS video / simple vlog working with clients would be fun to see.
Adding it to the list, appreciate it man! 😊🤙🏻
Great content once again! Love the monthly content subscription for your clients! That’s an awesome idea!
Thanks Clark! Definitely, nice baseline for sure. Thanks for watching!
You're welcome! @@AndreiRestrepo
Great tips! Curious as to what your charge/offer for your monthly recurring video services?
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.

I mainly do weddings at this time. What's your suggestion to have as seamless as a move as possible and still make money?
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
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
@@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
I have some questions about my camera and it’s functions, could use some pointer, how can we connect?
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.
Dude this is incredible, great advice thank you!
Glad to hear it, thanks for the feedback and for watching!
Great tips and advice. What is your thoughts on Sipiro for real estate photography and video
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!
What do you do for medical insurance?
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!
@@AndreiRestrepo thanks, that’s where I keep getting hesitant to launch out, it’s crazy expensive. Great vid content man
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!
Do you have a media service agreement/contract template you sell?
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!
Fantastic video!
Thank you very much! Appreciate it greatly!

@@AndreiRestrepo Fair enough. Just seems steep to take 3% of your earnings pre tax. 1-2% would be more reasonable.
It’s 2024 brother.
