We know that fast turnaround times are essential in real estate marketing. Here’s what you can expect:

• Photos, Floor Plans & 3D Tours – Next-day delivery.
• Videos – Typically 2 to 3 days, depending on complexity.

Listing media focuses on marketing properties – it includes professional real estate photography, video tours, drone media, 3D tours, floor plans, and virtual staging to showcase homes and attract buyers. The goal is to sell the listing quickly and effectively.

Branding media, on the other hand, is about marketing you as a real estate professional. It includes headshots, lifestyle portraits, behind-the-scenes photos, and branding videos that highlight your expertise, personality, and unique approach to real estate. Branding media helps you build credibility, attract clients, and establish a strong personal brand that goes beyond individual listings.

Both are essential – listing media sells properties, while branding media builds your business and reputation.

We accept Zelle, credit cards, ACH, and checks for your convenience.

We value your time and are committed to being punctual and efficient in providing our services. To help us maintain our schedule, we kindly ask for a minimum of 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Fees apply for same-day cancellations or onsite cancellations ($100 and $150, respectively), with exceptions for extraordinary circumstances. Your cooperation ensures a smooth experience for both parties. Thank you for your understanding.

At Three Nine Media, we are experienced in shooting in various lighting conditions and have successfully completed projects even in challenging weather. Rest assured, even in adverse weather conditions, we deliver high-quality, crisp, and bright images. Additionally, we provide complimentary blue sky replacement for exterior images to enhance the visual appeal of your listings.

However, safety is our top priority. If weather conditions are deemed dangerous, severe, or likely to hinder our work, we may suggest rescheduling the shoot at no additional cost to ensure the safety of our team and the quality of your media. Your satisfaction and safety are our primary concerns.

Ensuring the property is fully prepared before the shoot is crucial for achieving the best results in your final media. The quality of images and videos directly depends on how well the house is staged and cleaned.

Agents are expected to have the property staged and cleaned prior to the photo shoot. All properties will be shot “As Is.”

To assist with the preparation process, we provide a Home Preparation Checklist outlining the necessary steps. A well-prepared home allows us to focus on capturing stunning visuals that attract more buyers and make the listing stand out.

How to Prepare for Listing Media:

• The home must be clean, decluttered, and staged before our arrival.
• Open blinds and turn on all lights for a bright, inviting look.
• Remove personal items, excess furniture, and anything that could distract from the home’s appeal.
• Outdoor areas should be well-maintained – lawns mowed, patios tidy, and driveways cleared.

During the shoot, we may make minor adjustments, such as repositioning small decorations or pillows to enhance the presentation. However, we do not move furniture, boxes, or large items, as this could cause delays and impact the shoot’s overall efficiency. Please ensure that all major arrangements are finalized before our arrival.

Unprepared homes can negatively affect the final media and may result in additional time or rescheduling fees. To guarantee a smooth and productive session, please have everything ready in advance.

How to Prepare for Branding Media:

• Choose outfits that reflect your brand, confidence, and professionalism – if you plan to bring multiple outfits, discuss this with us beforehand.
• Plan locations that align with your brand (e.g., a listing you’re showcasing, your office, or a lifestyle setting).
• Prepare any props or marketing materials you’d like to include (business cards, signs, laptop, etc.).

By preparing ahead of time, we can focus on creating high-quality, impactful visuals that help you stand out in a competitive market.

You have the freedom to use all the photos and media we create for any marketing materials related to your listing and for promoting yourself as an Agent or Broker. Additionally, your parent company can use these images solely for marketing the specific property photographed. Please remember that the ownership of these images remains with the Photographer, and the license is granted to you and your parent company only, not to any third party.

Using these images for any third-party purposes, such as architects, builders, stagers, designers, sellers, or buyers, is not allowed unless you have received written approval from the photographer. Your media rights are designed to help you market your property effectively while respecting the photographer’s ownership.
