All photography packages include same-day delivery as our standard. Photos are delivered the same day the shoot takes place, allowing listings to go live quickly without rush fees or delays.

The number of photos delivered depends on property size and scope. Our pricing model scales based on square footage, ensuring appropriate coverage without arbitrary photo limits or tiered packages.
Are your photos optimized for MLS and online listings?
Yes. All real estate photos are delivered fully edited, MLS-ready, and optimized for online platforms such as MLS, Zillow, Realtor.com, and brokerage websites.

What type of real estate videos do you create?
We specialize in cinematic walkthrough videos that guide viewers through the property in a natural, immersive way. These videos are designed for listing marketing, social media, websites, and presentation to buyers and renters.
What is a cinematic walkthrough video?
A cinematic walkthrough video is a smooth, professionally shot property video that captures how a space moves and connects from room to room. Unlike fast-cut highlight videos, walkthroughs focus on pacing, layout, and overall experience.
Can videography be combined with drone footage?
Yes. Real estate videography can be combined with drone photography and drone videography to create a complete visual story. Aerial footage is often used to establish location, scale, and surroundings before transitioning into interior scenes.
What are AI Highlight Reels?
AI Highlight Reels are short, cinematic video clips created from your listing photos using artificial intelligence. They transform still images into motion-based marketing content set to music, without requiring a full video shoot.
How are AI Highlight Reels different from videography?
AI Highlight Reels are photo-based and designed for fast, scroll-stopping marketing on platforms like Instagram and social media. Videography involves filming the property on-site and provides a more immersive, detailed representation of the space.
When should I choose an AI Highlight Reel instead of video?
AI Highlight Reels are ideal when you want motion-based marketing but don’t need a full walkthrough video. They’re commonly used for social media promotion, quick marketing pushes, or as an add-on to photography.
Are AI Highlight Reels suitable for real estate listings?
Yes. AI Highlight Reels work well for real estate listings, short-term rentals, and marketing campaigns where eye-catching motion content helps attract attention and drive engagement.
How long are your real estate videos?
Video length varies based on property size and project goals. Cinematic walkthrough videos are typically long enough to show the full flow of the property without feeling rushed or overly produced.
What is the turnaround time for videography and highlight reels?
Turnaround times for videography and AI Highlight Reels depend on scope and complexity. While photography includes same-day delivery, video projects are delivered with a quality-first timeline to ensure polished results.
Can video be added to an existing photography booking?

DRONE PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEOGRAPHY
Do you offer drone photography?
Yes. Dream Home Real Estate Media offers professional drone photography for real estate listings, commercial properties, developments, and specialty projects. Aerial photos provide valuable context, scale, and perspective that ground-based photography can’t capture.

Yes. In addition to drone photography, we provide drone videography to capture smooth, cinematic aerial footage. Drone video is often combined with interior videography to create a complete visual story.
Are your drone pilots licensed and insured?
Yes. All drone flights are operated legally and responsibly in accordance with FAA regulations. Our drone services are fully insured and flown by licensed operators following current airspace and safety guidelines.
When should drone photography be used?
Drone photography is especially effective for properties with large lots, waterfront locations, surrounding amenities, or architectural features that benefit from an elevated view. It’s also commonly used for commercial, development, and hospitality projects.
Can drone services be added to a real estate listing?
Absolutely. Drone photography and videography can be added to residential listings, short-term rentals, and marketing-focused projects as part of a custom media package.

Do you offer photography for Airbnb and Vrbo listings?
Yes. We provide professional photography for short-term rentals, including Airbnb and Vrbo properties. Our media is designed to help listings stand out, attract attention, and drive more bookings.
How is short-term rental photography different from real estate photography?
Short-term rental photography focuses more on atmosphere, lifestyle, and experience. While accuracy and clarity still matter, the goal is to showcase comfort, amenities, and flow in a way that appeals to travelers and guests.

SPECIALTY & COMMERCIAL PROJECTS
Do you work on commercial and specialty media projects?
Yes. In addition to residential listings and short-term rentals, we take on specialty and commercial media projects that require custom planning, larger scope, or non-standard usage.

How do I get started with a specialty project?
Specialty and commercial projects begin with a dedicated intake form where you can share project details, goals, and timeline. From there, we guide next steps and discuss scope, pricing, and scheduling. Visit our Specialty Services page to start the process.
PRICING & PACKAGES
How does your pricing work?
Our pricing is built around flexibility and transparency. Instead of rigid tiers or pre-built packages, we use a custom pricing model that allows clients to build media packages based on their specific needs and property size.
Why don’t you use tier-based pricing?
Tier-based pricing often groups properties into arbitrary size buckets, which can lead to overpaying or under-delivering. We believe pricing should adapt to the project itself, not force it into a predefined tier.
What is dynamic pricing for real estate photography?
Dynamic pricing means your photography cost scales based on property size rather than fixed tiers. This ensures appropriate coverage and fair pricing for every project, regardless of square footage.
Can I build my own media package?
Yes. Clients can choose individual services and combine them into a custom media package. This approach rewards thoughtful bundling and allows pricing to adapt as services are added. You can build your custom package on our Pricing page.
Do bundled services save money?
Yes. Bundling multiple services into a single project often provides better overall value compared to booking services individually. Our pricing model is designed to encourage efficient, complete media coverage.
Is pricing transparent?
Yes. Our pricing is fully transparent. When building a custom package, pricing adjusts in real time so you can see exactly how services combine and scale before booking.
Are there hidden fees or upsells?
No. We do not rely on hidden fees or surprise upsells. Pricing is clearly outlined during package creation so you can make informed decisions from the start.
Do you offer custom pricing for specialty projects?
Yes. Specialty and commercial projects are priced individually based on scope, usage, and deliverables. These projects are handled separately from standard listings and begin with a project intake process.
Where can I see pricing details?
You can explore real-time pricing and build a custom media package directly on our Pricing page.
Does pricing differ for short-term rentals or commercial projects?
Yes. Pricing can vary depending on project type, usage, and scope. Short-term rentals and specialty projects may follow different pricing structures to reflect their marketing needs and licensing.
