About This Episode

Jason skips the products and add-ons and talks about the company itself: how the people behind your listing media should treat you and your sellers.

Real estate moves fast, and a media partner who is slow to reply or vague about what you will receive costs you time. Jason also thinks about your seller, who may not want to leave the home and still has to let a photographer walk through it.

Key takeaways

What to Know

  • Responsiveness comes first. The people you work with should answer you and not leave you hanging.

  • You should know what you're getting. Before you submit an order, you should know what will be delivered, what it will look like and when it will arrive. Jason adds that this responsibility runs both ways.

  • Sellers should feel at ease. In an owner-occupied home, the photographer is a stranger in a personal space, so the people you send should be personable and easy to trust.

  • A good partner feels like part of your crew. Jason describes a two-way relationship where you text each other freely and both sides look out for one another.

  • If you already have that, keep it. Jason says that if your current media company does these things well, stick with them.
