Pricing your real estate photography services is one of the most consequential decisions you will make in your photography business. Charge too little and you work extremely hard for thin margins, attract difficult clients, and struggle to grow. Charge correctly and you build a profitable, sustainable business where great clients choose you specifically for the value you deliver.

How Editing Costs Affect Your Pricing
One of the most important factors in real estate photography pricing is accurately accounting for editing costs. If you edit your own images at 5 minutes per image (fast!), a 30-image job requires 2.5 hours of editing. At $50/hour effective rate, that is $125 of editing time in a $250 package — leaving only $125 for equipment, travel, marketing, and profit. Outsourcing to Oval Infotech at $0.30/image for the same batch costs $9 — transforming the economics completely.
