How quickly will I receive my photos after the shoot?

We guarantee 24-hour delivery on all standard photography packages, measured from shoot completion to gallery delivery. Photos are delivered via a private online gallery with high-resolution downloads — ready for MLS upload, Zillow, Realtor.com, and social media. Rush same-day delivery is available for time-sensitive listings for an additional fee. In practice, over 85% of galleries are delivered within 16 hours of shoot completion.

Are you FAA certified for drone photography in South Florida?

Yes. All Estate Shutter Florida drone pilots hold FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificates, which is legally required for all commercial drone photography in Florida. We carry full liability insurance and obtain the required FAA LAANC authorizations for controlled airspace near Miami International (MIA), Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood (FLL), and Palm Beach International (PBI) airports before every flight.

What areas of South Florida do you serve?

We serve all of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties with no travel fees. Primary markets include Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, Coral Gables, Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach, Miami Beach, Hollywood, Doral, Pompano Beach, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Weston, and 20+ additional cities. Travel to the Florida Keys and Naples area is available upon request.

Do I need to be present during the real estate photo shoot?

No — many of our shoots are coordinated directly with property managers or lockbox access. We recommend having someone present to handle access issues and highlight features the agent wants emphasized. We send a preparation checklist 24 hours before every shoot so sellers know exactly how to stage and prepare the property for optimal results.

A capital markets broker who has run 30 investment sales knows the OM photography brief by heart. A broker running their first stabilized disposition does not. This is that brief — the shot list, file spec, licensing terms, and turnaround constraints to hand your photographer before the OM shoot, so the imagery is on the OM-package standard the first time.

Why OM Photography Has a Different Standard Than Leasing Photography

Leasing photography sells a tenant on a space. OM photography sells an institutional buyer on an asset. The buyer is reading the OM on a laptop in a conference room with their underwriter and asset manager. The hero image needs to communicate: this is the kind of asset our fund owns. The interior shots need to communicate: the in-place condition supports the underwritten rents.

Three things change versus a leasing or marketing shoot:

The hero is a twilight or blue-hour exterior — institutional buyers expect it. Daytime exteriors look like leasing photos.
The drone reel shows site context — submarket, transit, surrounding co-tenancy — not just the building.
The interior coverage is about condition and quality, not the leasing pitch. Representative leasable spaces, both vacant and furnished, with a couple of amenity stills.

If the photographer cannot articulate that the OM hero is different from the leasing hero, you are working with a leasing photographer, not an OM photographer.

The OM Shot List (Standard Coverage)

This is the baseline most institutional buyers expect to see, regardless of asset class:

Exterior

Twilight / blue-hour hero (the cover image)
Daylight straight-on building elevation, all four sides
Three-quarter angle hero with site context
Ground-floor retail or tenant signage (if applicable)
Parking deck or surface lot context

Aerial / Drone

4K cinematic drone reel, 60–90 seconds
Aerial stills: site overview from 200ft, 400ft, 800ft
Submarket context shot showing transit / arterial proximity
Site plan overlay aerial (orthomosaic available for portfolio assets)

Interior

Lobby and main entrance lifestyle
Representative leasable spaces — both vacant and furnished
Amenity decks, conference center, fitness amenity
Elevator lobbies and corridor commons
Mechanical and back-of-house (if relevant for industrial / data center)

Asset Class Add-Ons

Office: floor plate overview (Zillow 3D or photo grid), spec suite condition, amenity package
Industrial: clear-height demonstration, dock + door count, truck court, yard
Retail: in-line and end-cap perspectives, co-tenancy, customer-flow context
Multifamily: model unit + amenity deck, leasing office, fitness, pool, courtyard
Hospitality: lobby, F&B outlets, guest room category mix, ballroom / event

File Specification Brokers Should Request

This is the technical spec — copy it into your photographer's SOW:

Resolution: Master files ≥ 6000px on the long edge. Web export at 2000px sRGB JPEG.
Color space: sRGB IEC61966-2.1 for screen / OM PDF. Adobe RGB (1998) for print catalogues.
File format: TIFF master + sRGB JPEG submission set + raw archive retained for 12 months.
Metadata (IPTC): photographer credit, asset name, property address, ownership, brokerage, shoot date.
File naming: [Asset][ShotType][Sequence].jpg (e.g., AtlanticaTower_TwilightHero_01.jpg).
Deliverable bundle: organized folder structure — /01_Exterior, /02_Aerial, /03_Interior, /04_Amenity, /05_Plans, /06_Web — so the OM team can find every asset class without hunting.

Licensing Terms a Broker Should Demand

Brokers get burned by per-impression or per-use licensing. The right OM contract terms:

Full use across the offering memorandum and pitch deck
LoopNet / CoStar / Crexi syndication included
Broker website and broker email blast included
Post-sale buyer or lender PR use included
Press / editorial pickup (Bisnow, Real Deal, Commercial Observer) — typically granted on request
Resale or licensing to third parties excluded — this is reasonable; the photographer retains some downstream rights

If a photographer asks for per-syndication-platform fees or pulls the imagery after the sale, that is the wrong photographer for capital markets work.

Turnaround SLAs to Negotiate

The standard tiers an OM photographer should be able to offer:

Standard (7 business days) — stabilized assets with no listing deadline
Rush (72 hours) — active OMs where the broker tour event is in 10 days
Same-day rescue (24 hours) — the OM is going out tomorrow and the existing photos are unusable

The same-day rescue tier is the one you only call when you need it, but you want a photographer who can do it before you need it. Confirm before retainer.

What to Send the Photographer Before the Shoot

The 4-line OM brief:

Asset name + address + asset class (with floor / suite numbers if relevant)
OM mailing date + tour event date (drives the turnaround tier)
Submission spec attachments if any (some institutional buyers have a preferred OM template)
Access logistics — keys / on-site contact / vacancy schedule / blackout times

Send those four things and the photographer can quote a fixed fee and a shoot date inside 24 hours.

A Final Check: Does the Photographer Cover Capital Markets Work?

Before retainer, ask three questions:

Have you shot for [JLL / CBRE / Cushman / Avison Young / Colliers] in the last 12 months?
What is your rush SLA, and can you turn around an OM hero in 72 hours?
Show me three OM hero images from your last six commercial shoots.

A photographer who shoots residential MLS work and "also does commercial" is the wrong photographer for an OM. A photographer who has shot for institutional brokerages and can articulate the difference between an OM hero and a leasing hero is the right one.

Need an OM shoot scoped on a tight deadline? Send the OM brief — 24-hour response, 72-hour rush SLA, same-day rescue available. Estate Shutter Florida runs OM photography across Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Naples, and Tampa.
