How Does the Real Estate Photography Process Work

At Harberts Media, we pride ourselves on delivering top-notch real estate photography services in Sioux Falls. Understanding how the process works can help you make the most of our services and ensure your property is presented in the best possible light. Here’s a step-by-step guide to our real estate photography process:

1. Initial Consultation

The process begins with an initial consultation where we discuss your specific needs and goals. This includes understanding the property’s unique features, any particular shots you want, and the desired style of photography. Whether it's a residential home, commercial property, or rental listing, we tailor our approach to meet your requirements.

2. Scheduling the Shoot

Once we have a clear understanding of your needs, we schedule the photo shoot at a convenient time. We recommend scheduling during daylight hours for optimal natural lighting, although we are equipped to handle twilight and evening shoots as well.

3. Preparation

Proper preparation is key to a successful photo shoot. We provide a checklist to help you get the property ready. This typically includes:

• Cleaning and decluttering each room

• Ensuring all lights are functional

• Staging furniture and décor to highlight the property’s features

• Making minor repairs or touch-ups if needed

Our team can also offer staging advice or connect you with professional staging services if necessary.

4. The Photo Shoot

On the day of the shoot, our experienced photographers arrive with professional-grade equipment. We use high-resolution cameras, wide-angle lenses, and advanced lighting techniques to capture the property’s best angles and features. The shoot usually takes between one to three hours, depending on the size and complexity of the property.

5. Post-Processing

After the shoot, the real work begins. Our photographers meticulously review and select the best images, followed by a detailed editing process. We enhance the photos to ensure perfect lighting, color balance, and clarity. This includes removing any minor imperfections and making sure each image looks its best.

6. Delivery of Photos

Once the editing process is complete, we deliver the final images to you. We provide high-resolution files suitable for print and web use. You’ll receive a link to download the photos, making it easy to access and share them across various platforms.

7. Additional Services

Beyond standard photography, we offer a range of additional services to enhance your listing:

• Virtual Tours: Interactive 360-degree tours to give potential buyers an immersive experience.

• Drone Photography: Aerial shots to showcase larger properties and surrounding areas.

• Twilight Photography: Capturing the property during the golden hour for a dramatic and inviting look.

8. Ongoing Support

We don’t just deliver photos and walk away. At Harberts Media, we provide ongoing support to ensure you’re satisfied with the results. Whether you need help with uploading images to your listing platform, require additional edits, or have any other questions, we’re here to assist you.
