Why Do I Need Professional Real Estate Photos?
Industry studies by large firms like Redfin consistently show a strong correlation between professional photography and homes selling faster and for more money. Professionally captured photos are highly effective because they are sharper, feature balanced exposures, are properly color-corrected, and accurately represent the space, helping buyers confidently envision themselves in the home.
How Do I Choose a Real Estate Photographer?
To choose the right photographer, look for a reliable professional with a strong local reputation, a versatile portfolio, comprehensive services, and transparent practices:
- Local Reputation: Look for consistent Google reviews and positive feedback from other agents in your community.
- Diverse Portfolio: Ensure they can expertly capture challenging spaces (like dark hardwood floors or colorful walls), not just bright, white rooms.
- One-Stop Shop: Choose a company that provides standard photos, drone, video, floor plans, and virtual staging in a single appointment.
- Clear Expectations: Verify they have upfront policies on session lengths, turnaround speeds, and licensing rights.
Comerford Real Media prides itself on checking every one of these boxes.

Common Questions About Booking & Delivery
How long does a photo session take?
Most residential photo sessions take between 1 and 3 hours. The exact time depends on the property’s square footage and the specific services selected.
How soon will I receive my photos and videos?
Images are typically delivered the next day, and always within 36 hours of the session. Video delivery times may vary slightly based on editing complexity.
Need it faster? We offer a rush turnaround option (under 24 hours, typically the next morning) for a 20% fee increase.
Who owns the images?
While the photographer technically retains the copyright, we provide an extremely generous release. This allows you to use the images for all of your modern advertising and marketing efforts without any restrictions. If you ever have a question about an unusual use case, we are always happy to help!
Can you edit the grass to make it look greener?
No, we cannot digitally hide flaws like dead grass or holes if that is what buyers will see in person. Honest representation is a core value for us and a strict requirement of the NWMLS to protect you from misrepresentation fines. However, if a landscaper is scheduled to fix the lawn before any showings, we can reshoot or alter the photos to accurately match their finished work.
How much does real estate photography cost?
In Pierce County, average real estate photography costs $300–$500, while packages including video range from $600–$1,000 depending on quality and complexity. Our premium photography starts at $535 (for homes under 2,000 sq ft), and comprehensive video packages start at $820.
