Pricing

Flat Rates. No Surprises.

Every shoot starts with listing photos and a floor plan together, drone included. Add video if you want it. That is the whole menu. These are some of the most affordable real estate photography rates in Metro Detroit, and the work holds up next to shoots that cost two or three times as much.

The Video Deal

Your Post. Your Profile. My Audience Too.

The video is $60 because it does not just live on your feed. Every video I shoot goes up as an Instagram collaboration post with your account. It sits on your profile with your name on it, and it reaches my followers at the same time. Same video, two audiences, one price.

I am a licensed agent in this market, so the people watching are Metro Detroit buyers, not a random audience. If one of them wants the house, that is a showing on your listing.

Instagram CollabRequired

The video is posted to my Instagram as a collaboration post with you. It appears on both profiles and both feeds. This is the condition of the $60 rate, and it is also the reason it is worth taking.

Every Other Platform Is Yours

TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, your website, the MLS, paid ads. Post it wherever you want, as many times as you want. No restrictions and no watermark.

Sound Is Picked for Reach

I choose audio based on what the algorithm is actually pushing that week, because reach is the whole point. If the music matters to you, send me the track and I will use it. Otherwise I pick what will travel furthest.

Exclusive Rights

If you need exclusive rights to a video, reach out and we can discuss it.

$60

Referral Offer

Send Me an Agent, Get a Free Video.

Refer another agent to me, and when they book a full media package, your next job gets a free listing video, a $60 value. No cap on how many times you can do it. The Instagram collab rule still applies to the free video, same as any other.

How It Works

Four Steps, One Visit.

01

Text the Address

Send me the address, the finished square footage, and whether you want video. I will confirm the rate, then we figure out a date around when the home is available.

02

I Shoot It

I am a licensed Michigan agent, so as long as there is a lockbox I can access the property myself. Photos, video and floor plan all in a single visit.

03

Edit & Deliver

Photos come back edited and ready to drop straight into the MLS. Floor plans in 2D and 3D. Video cut vertical and sent to you.

04

We Both Post

The video goes live as an Instagram collab, on your profile and mine. From there you and I both post it on our own platforms, which adds even more coverage for the listing.

Why Hire an Agent to Shoot It

You Are Not Just Buying Photos. You Are Buying Marketing.

I am Jay Shah, a licensed agent with New Era Real Estate in Troy. Born and raised in Metro Detroit, Wayne State finance grad, in real estate since 2023.

The reason to hire me is that I am also a real estate agent. I have a real idea of what sells a house, because selling houses is my other job. I know which rooms a buyer actually cares about, which angle makes a small condo read open, and what a listing needs to look like before it goes live.

And I do not stop when I hand over the files. I post your property on my own platforms too, with your credit on it. That is real marketing on top of the media you paid for, and it means I am working the same goal you are.

I am incentivized to bring buyers to your listings. I am an active agent with buyers in this market, so if your property is the right fit for one of mine, that is a showing and potentially an offer. You are getting a marketing partner, not just a camera.

I work across Oakland, Macomb and Wayne counties, with real depth in the city of Detroit, Novi and Troy.

Where the collab posts live. Your listing goes out on your profile and mine at the same time, in front of Metro Detroit buyers who already follow local real estate. This is the platform the $60 video rate is built around.

Good to Know

The Fine Print.

Drone Coverage

Drone photos and footage are included in the rate, not billed separately. Some addresses sit inside controlled or restricted airspace near an airport, helipad or other FAA-restricted zone, and legally cannot be flown. Send me the address up front and I will check it before we book so there are no surprises on shoot day.

Square Footage & Pricing

Pricing is based on finished square footage. Photos and floor plan are $140 under 2,500 finished sq ft, and homes of 2,500 and up add $50. Video stays $60 at any size, which puts the full package at $200 or $250. Unfinished basements do not count toward the threshold.

Questions Agents Ask

Real Estate Photography in Metro Detroit, Answered.

How much does real estate photography cost in Metro Detroit?

Most listing shoots in Metro Detroit start around $150 for photos alone, and drone, twilight and video are usually billed as add-ons on top of that. Here every shoot is listing photos and a floor plan together for $140, with drone photos already included. Adding a listing video is $60, which makes the full package $200. Homes of 2,500 finished square feet and up add $50.

Can I book just photos, or just a floor plan?

No. Every booking is listing photos and a floor plan together for $140. They are not sold separately. Video is the one optional piece, and it adds $60.

Is drone photography included, or is it extra?

Included. Drone photos come with the photo rate and drone footage comes with the video rate, at no extra charge. The only exception is airspace: some addresses sit inside FAA-restricted zones near an airport or helipad and legally cannot be flown. Send me the address up front and I will check it before we book.

How many photos do I get?

Every room, the exterior and the outdoor spaces, plus drone shots where the airspace allows. Most listings come back with somewhere between 25 and 45 edited photos depending on the size of the home. There is no per-photo cap.

Why is the video only $60?

Because every video I shoot is posted to my Instagram as a collaboration post with your account, so it reaches your followers and mine at the same time. That collab post is the condition of the $60 rate. You keep full rights to post the video on TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, your website, the MLS and in paid ads, with no watermark.

Do I need to meet you at the property?

No. I am a licensed Michigan real estate agent, so as long as there is a lockbox on the property I can let myself in, shoot it and lock up. You do not have to block out your afternoon.

Who can book you?

Listing agents and brokers make up most of my work, but I also shoot for investors, flippers, landlords and homeowners selling on their own. If you need listing photos in Metro Detroit, text me.

Which areas do you cover?

All of Metro Detroit: Oakland, Macomb and Wayne counties, including the city of Detroit. If you are a little further out, text me the address and I will confirm.

What do you need from me to book?

Text me the address, the finished square footage and whether you want video added to the photos and floor plan. I will confirm the rate, check the airspace for the drone, and get you on the calendar around when the home is ready.
