Basic MLS Media Services Pricing  

 

Properties are photographed by an experienced professional real estate photographer using high-end cameras and lighting equipment.  We provide a punctual, professional service with consistent quality outputs.   Pricing for an MLS shoot is based primarily on the property's TLA (Total living area) and time; special features such as boathouses and annexes are included if important to the property, but they may increase the shoot cost, as do condos with extensive facilities.    A typical MLS shoot involves a photographer taking images of a property (as is). This process typically takes between 1 and 2 hours.   We consider this a basic shoot as a reflection of conditions, equipment, and the use of the photographs for MLS.   

​

Half or full-day rates may be used as an alternative to cost non-typical MLS photoshoots that extend a photoshoot duration due to factors outside of the photographer's control or require deliverables inconsistent with a typical MLS photoshoot.
