What Should You Charge? Real Estate Media Pricing & First Clients

Thinking about starting a real estate photography or real estate media business? Start here. In this episode of OUTWORK, Oliver Ward and Alex Coombs break down some of the biggest questions they get from people entering the real estate media industry — from pricing your first shoot and building packages to finding your first real estate agent clients. We get into what you should actually charge, why being the cheapest photographer in your market can backfire, what services you should offer from day one, and how to figure out whether you’re actually making money on a shoot. Then we tackle the other big problem: getting clients. How do you build a portfolio when nobody has hired you yet? Which agents should you approach? Should you work for free? Should you cold email, DM, walk into brokerages, or start with people you already know? These are real questions we’re getting from photographers and videographers trying to build real estate media businesses — so we’re answering them. And we want YOUR questions.
