Terms & Conditions
Appointment Availability
We strive to have availability for most appointments within 1-3 days. Choosing certain services - picking a specific photographer - inclement weather, or increased volume during peak season may impact our availability and you may see times extend from this window.
Getting Property Ready:
The Client is expected to have the property “camera ready” prior to the beginning of the arrival window. This includes all cleaning and furniture staging.
We ask that you have your clients review our Getting Ready Guide
If the photographer arrives at the appointment and the home is not ready, the property will be shot “As Is”.
We value your feedback and input for choosing the best angles to photograph the property. If you would like to give input, please meet the photographer at the beginning of the appointment or add notes in the “comments” section of the order.
Absent your input, the photographer will use their judgment and experience to decide which angles will best highlight the property.
Order Details:
The client is expected to enter all pertinent information at the time the order is placed. We reserve the right to update incorrect information and adjust the pricing of the order to accurately reflect the order (ex. the client enters the property is 1,200 square feet when it is actually 2,400 square feet).
Our pricing reflects the cost for a single dwelling in a residential household. For commercial or multi unit properties, please contact us for a personalised quote.
Reschedule & Cancellation Policy:
Confirmed appointments that are rescheduled or cancelled within 24 hours before the appointment start time are subject to a $75 cancellation fee.
Appointments that can't be completed due to weather will be rescheduled (after contacting the estate agent) and the cancellation fee will be waived.
Payment Terms:
All orders will require payment before media can be downloaded (unless there is a separate agreement in place). You will receive a link to view your watermarked media, and after payment has been submitted, the watermark will be removed and available for download. An option to pay upfront may be made to you during the ordering process for an alternative payment method.
If there is a balance on your account that is over 45 days outstanding, all assets will be frozen and the ordering process paused until the balance has been paid.
Service Area Coverage:
We service Manhattan and Brooklyn areas.
Properties that are beyond this will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. If approved, an out of area fee may apply
Properties outside New York are beyond the service area and we will not be able to service them.
