Epic Photos- Real Estate Photography

Yes. I am licensed by the FAA. My license is available on request.

Yes. I have Supra Key access in Hernando, Pasco, Pinellas and, Hillsborough Counties.

Epic Photos service area includes all of West Central Florida. Specific areas include Hernando, Pasco, Citrus, Sumpter, Pinellas, Hillsborough, Polk, Lake, and Manatee Counties. For areas outside of 25 miles of the Brooksville Florida area, there is a $25/ HR travel charge. Also, if you have bulk properties (6 or more) in one specific area outside our normal service area we can arrange for a bulk shoot and travel package. Contact us for details.

Our pricing schedule is based on the listed, under roof, or living square footage of the property. Basically, you are paying for the interior shoot and getting the exterior for free. Also, note that there is a travel charge for properties outside of our normal service area.

Typically we book shoots up between 5 to 7 days in advance. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the shoot schedule changes day to day. Some of the circumstances include weather, properties that are not ready, or sellers changing their minds about listing. We make the best effort to move other appointments up in the schedule to get to the later shoots. If this is the case, we will notify you by phone, text, or email and ask if you are able to move your shoot to a sooner date or time.

In most cases, you will have you property images the same day. Usually, the next morning would be the latest depending on how late and how many properties we photographed the previous day. It roughly takes between one and three hours to edit a property photo set depending on the number of images taken.

You will be sent a share link to a cloud storage folder that contains a zip file with the images. Here are the instructions to download and unzip the folder: "Click the attached link to pull up the download page. Click and select the zipped property folder. Then click the "Download Button" to start downloading the zip file. Save to a folder on your desktop.

Epic Photos can handle a scheduled photo shoot in several ways: 1. Schedule the shoot and the agent meets us at the property. 2. Coordinate a scheduled day and time with and us and your sellers. From there, we will arrive at the property, meet with the sellers, and take care of photographing the property so the agent can make and take care of other appointments. 3. Provide property access with a coded or Supra lock box if it is vacant and unoccupied property.

No. Epic Photos LLC retains copyright to all photos/ videos/ and other media we produce. In effect, you are purchasing extended limited usage rights for the sale of the property. The rights are assigned to the agent upon receipt of the images and terminate when the property is sold. The agent or licensee may not transfer the images or the rights to the images or maybe images are sold to any other party. The licensee is entitled to use the property images on any MLS and social media platform such as Facebook, Craigslist, Twitter, Google Plus, LinkedIn, etc., even simultaneously, as long as it for promoting the sale of the property.

The duration of the property shoot will depend on the amount of square footage there is to photograph on the inside as well as the property size on the outside. An average shoot time would be approximately one to one and a half hours.

Yes. Prior to our arrival, if you could please have all the windows blinds, curtains, or other window dressings open is a great help. Interiors photograph much better when there is a lot of natural light. Also, please turn off all the ceiling fans. We shoot multiple exposures for each room and any movement during that time will create blurry objects in the image. Also, please put away your pets, especially large dogs. We are animal lovers here at Prime Home Photos, but our camera gear is very expensive and knocks over easily. With those items taken care of in advance, the photo shoot should go smoothly and quickly.

Statistics have shown that properties photographed by a professional sell faster and for more money than those that do not. With nearly 80% of home buyers shopping for new homes online you might only have one chance to get their attention and make a good impression. Don't take a chance with your clients listing with cell phone pictures.

Yes, we do accept most major credit cards.

If the weather is bad on the day of your scheduled shoot (i.e. rain, heavy clouds and the like) you will be given the opportunity to reschedule for the next available open shoot date. If you choose to proceed with the shoot as scheduled, regardless of the weather, please understand that the listed pricing does not include fixing photos for cloudy skies and such and the standard guarantee will no longer apply. In some severe weather conditions, we cannot risk damage to the camera equipment and will not be able to shoot regardless. In those instances, your shoot may be rescheduled for our next available opening.

PhotoShop is an awesome tool with a lot of power. However, nothing replaces making sure the home is photo ready when the photographer arrives. PhotoShop does not do windows, clean floors, put the kids toys away or play gardener. Keep in mind that the home will look as good in photos as it does in person.

Please note that we expect the property to be photo-ready for the time you set your appointment for. If we must wait longer than 1/2 hour (30 minutes) after that set time at a site for it to be prepared (or to be let into the property), we add a 25% fee; if we must wait an hour, 50%; two hours or longer, or if the shoot is entirely canceled, a 100% fee will be assessed. We reserve the exclusive right to kill the shoot after one hour or more of waiting, at our sole digression. Late or cancel/kill fees must be paid in full before new date will be scheduled.

We reserve the right to license the images to additional clients unless the original client has paid for an exclusive license. In the case where the original real estate agent lost the listing and had an exclusive license and a second agent would like to use the same photos, the second agent must obtain a written release for the license from the first agent and pay the photographer at the current rate for a new license. If the first agent is unwilling to give a written release to the second agent, the original photos may not be used by the second agent and new photos must be taken.

No. We do photography only. If a property is not staged when we arrive, we will either shoot as it is or come back for a later shoot depending on the Agent’s call. Reshoots may invoke a reschedule fee.
