It covers the real estate photography I’m scheduled to shoot for your listing, along with the editing and delivery I’m providing to help you hit your go-live date and MLS cutoff.
If you’ve accepted a proposal from me, that proposal and this contract are meant to work together. The proposal sets what you’re booking and the price, and the terms below set how the shoot, delivery, and handoff run in real life.
What you get
Real estate photography covers the on-site shoot, a quick walkthrough and shot list check at arrival, and the editing needed to deliver MLS-ready images that look like the property looks in person.
Your deliverables for this project are listed below. I’ll follow that list unless we agree a change in writing. You’ll get a delivery link when the edits are complete, and you’ll tell me your MLS cutoff time and go-live date when you book so I can confirm a delivery time in writing before I arrive.
* MLS-ready photo gallery link * Interior photo set * Exterior angle set * Twilight exterior images * Drone still photo set * 2D floor plan layout (measured)
Payment
Your shoot time is booked when you sign and pay 40% of the price. If you’ve got an MLS deadline, I treat that time as reserved once that booking payment is in.
The remaining 60% is due when the finished work is handed over. I’ll invoice for each payment, and every invoice is payable within 14 days of the invoice date using the payment method shown on the invoice. If a payment is late, I’ll pause new editing and delay delivery of anything not yet handed over until the account is current. If you need an invoice re-sent or split for brokerage records, tell me before the due date.
Revisions
I include two rounds of revisions for the delivered photos and floor plan. A revision round means one written message from you that lists the specific changes you want, and one updated delivery from me. These rounds are for finishing touches, like a brightness tweak, a crop adjustment, or correcting a small detail.
Revisions don’t cover new shots, swapping to a different room angle, heavy object removal, or changing the look so the space reads different than it does in person. If you want anything beyond the included rounds, I’ll price it and confirm timing in writing before I start. If a revision request affects MLS deadlines, tell me your cutoff time so I can confirm what’s realistic.
Who can use the work
Once the invoice is paid in full, you can use the finished photos and the finished floor plan I deliver to market the property and your services. That includes MLS, listing sites, social media, email, print, and brokerage marketing that relates to the listing.
I keep ownership of the work itself, including the original captures, bracket sets, and any working files or editing tools I use to get to the final look. You can’t sell, license, or give the images or floor plan to a third party for their separate use (for example: a builder, stager, designer, or another agent) without checking with me first. If the listing changes agents, tell me and I’ll confirm the cleanest way to handle continued use.
Portfolio use
I may show the finished work from your project as examples of my real estate photography. That can include my website, social media, printed samples, and galleries I send to future clients. I do this to show what a full listing set looks like, including window pulls, true interior color, and exteriors that match the light.
If you need the work kept off my portfolio, tell me in writing any time before delivery and I’ll honor it. If your seller has a privacy concern, you can also ask me to avoid showing identifying details like the street number, views from a specific window, family photos on walls, or distinctive personal items. If you ask, I’ll make reasonable selections that respect that request.
Problems and limits
I’m responsible for showing up prepared, shooting and editing with care, and delivering what you booked. If something goes wrong on my side that keeps me from delivering what this project calls for, my first fix is to reschedule and re-shoot what’s needed as soon as practical.
I’m not responsible for things I can’t control on-site, like rooms not being shoot-ready at arrival, blocked access, last-minute lockbox issues, utilities being off, weather that makes exteriors or twilight inconsistent, or changes to the property after I leave. I’m also not responsible for third-party platforms (MLS portals, listing sites, or social apps) changing color, cropping, or compression after you upload. If you spot a problem in the delivered files, tell me quickly so I can check the export and correct it if it’s on my end.
Ending the booking
If you need to cancel or reschedule, tell me as soon as you know. I’ll confirm in writing what notice I need for your specific date and what happens to the booking payment based on how close we are to the shoot and whether I’ve turned away other work to hold your MLS window.
If the project ends after I’ve started work, you’ll pay for the work I’ve already completed up to the stop date. If there’s an unpaid balance, I won’t hand over new or remaining deliverables until that balance is paid. Once the account is paid for the work completed, I’ll hand over the finished items that are ready and match what you’ve paid for, by delivery link. If access is the issue, you can also appoint a point of contact to get me in so we can keep the listing on schedule.
