Hey! It's Anne๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ป Are you a Real Estate Agent who wants to increase commissions, connect with clients, and getting more closings BUT currently buried in paperwork, compliance and stressed out? Here's a story about the sellers terminated contract a week before closing. ๐Ÿ”ฅ "Mark(Buyer) was under contract on a house and everything was set for settlement the following week. Then one morning, he got a call that the sellers had terminated the contract and returned his deposit. When asked, it was because they never received the mortgage approval from Mark's agent and its past deadline. It later turned out that Mark's agent had the mortgage approval sitting in his email for quite some time but for some reason Mark missed it. Now, Mark already spent money on the inspection and appraisal which made his wife super upset. Only because for one missed deadline, and just like that, the whole deal fell apart.๐Ÿ”ฅ Now, before we get into what did Mark do? Who is to blame? I think we can all agree that Mark's agent should have an assistant or a TC. Now, wait a minute, I am a Transaction Coordinator! I am someone who can answer emails while you are out showing homes, building relationships or signing contracts. As a TC, I have a solid understanding on the buying/selling process, I am organized, detail-oriented, able to meet deadlines with ease, and can communicate effectively. I am confident that you will not make the same mistake this agent did to poor Mark. My System? I bring a meticulous eye for detail and a client-centered approach to every transaction I support. My work focuses on easy processes, supporting agents, and making sure your clients feel informed and confident throughout their property journey. Also, Iโ€™m known for my organization, adaptability, and collaborative spirit, and I ensure every transaction runs smoothly from start to finish. ๐ŸŽฏ Agents who have a TC reported a 25% improvement in productivity, help reduce the risk of errors by 80%, saved 10-20 hours per per transaction. What I Can Help You With ๐Ÿ“ŒListing Coordination and Transaction Coordination๐Ÿ“Œ โœ… Uploading listings to the MLS โœ… Coordinating photos, marketing materials, and listing details โœ… Ensuring everything is ready before the listing goes live โœ… Keeping the listing process organized and smooth โœ… Lender Updates โœ… Escrow Information โœ… Important Dates in the Contract (inspection period, appraisal dates, contingencies, closing) โœ… Communication With All Parties of the Contract โœ… Auditing All Paperwork for Accuracy and Signatures โœ… Schedules/Coordinates Closing โœ… Other Additional Admin Services Agreed Upon ๐Ÿ“ŒWe're a good fit if: โœ… you want to grow faster, operate leaner, and close more deals โ€” without getting buried in paperwork or compliance. โœ… you want to keep your deals moving. From listings to closings, I manage the details โ€” freeing you to focus on clients, commissions, โ€จand closings. By spending a little money, you as the agent end up making more! And there is less risk to try out having me as your TC, too! Now, you might be wondering happened to Mark? What happened to his agent? Did they found another home? Is the wife still upset? I can tell you more... ... but let's connect first. Send me an invite so I can tell you more. ๐Ÿค Your Rockstar TC, Anne๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿ’ป

Hi! I edit Architecture, Interior Design, & Luxury Real Estate images for photographers who value clean details, consistency, and polished deliverables. My services range from simple exposure correction, color balancing, color cast removal, realistic and balanced HDR blending (not over-processed), to more complex manual blending of ambient & flash exposures for full control over lighting and tone. I also offer virtual staging, landscaping, & complex object removal.

Photographers choose me for reliable turnaround times, attention to detail, and clear communication. I have many examples of recent work below in my portfolio.

What does a Real Estate photographer do?

A real estate photographer captures and processes property images to create accurate marketing assets for listings. This role combines on-site photography with digital post-production to highlight architectural features while adhering to strict industry standards. The work requires technical precision in lighting and composition to produce media that represents the physical space truthfully.

  • Capture high-resolution exterior and interior photographs using HDR techniques or specialized real-estate marketing cameras. Adjust camera settings to balance natural and artificial light sources, ensuring every room appears bright and inviting without distorting spatial dimensions. Visit properties to document key selling points, including curb appeal, living areas, and unique architectural details that define the homeโ€™s character.
  • Process raw image files through editing software to correct color balance, remove lens distortions, and enhance visual clarity. Organize the final image set to meet Multiple Listing Service (MLS) submission guidelines, which often restrict watermarks and require specific aspect ratios. Verify that all edited photos provide an accurate depiction of the property, avoiding any alterations that could mislead potential buyers about the condition or size of the space.
  • Generate immersive virtual tours using 3D reality capture platforms such as Matterport to allow remote exploration of the property. Compile these digital assets into a complete listing media package that includes unbranded tour links suitable for embedding on client websites. Deliver the final files through an organized pipeline, ensuring agents receive web-ready outputs that integrate smoothly into their marketing channels and comply with privacy standards regarding identifiable persons.

How to hire a Real Estate photographer on Upwork

Step 1: Post a job

Describe your property media needs in a few sentences and let the Job Post Generator powered by Umaโ„ข, Upwork's Mindful AI draft a complete job post for you. You can write a new post from scratch, update a saved draft, or reuse an existing post to save time.

  • Specify whether you need standard 2D listing photographs, immersive 3D virtual tours, or aerial media to match your marketing strategy.
  • List required deliverables such as MLS-compliant image sets, unbranded virtual tour links, and client-ready outputs for website embedding.
  • Include details about property access, safety requirements, and any restrictions on capturing identifiable persons or private areas.

Step 2: Evaluate candidates

Review portfolios for accurate property depiction and adherence to MLS guidelines rather than just artistic flair. Uma can run instant video interviews and build shortlists with side-by-side comparisons to help you identify the best fit.

  • Check for consistent lighting and composition in interior shots that accurately represent room dimensions and layout without distortion.
  • Verify experience with 3D reality capture platforms like Matterport if you require immersive walkthroughs for buyer exploration.
  • Look for evidence of proper post-processing that corrects color balance and removes distractions while maintaining truthful representation.

Step 3: Interview your top choices

Discuss specific workflows for capturing and processing media to ensure they align with your listing timeline. Interviews can be scheduled and conducted within Upwork Messages with an immediate transcript and summary after each one.

  • Ask how they handle HDR photography workflows to balance bright windows with darker interior spaces for clear visibility.
  • Confirm their process for organizing source files and delivering final assets in formats suitable for various marketing channels.
  • Inquire about their approach to privacy handling and avoiding restricted elements like identifiable persons in public-facing media.

Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work

Define clear milestones for property visits, image processing, and final delivery of the listing media package. Use Upwork Messages and the contract workroom for communication and project management, plus identity verification, payment protection, hourly tracking, and project funds for security.

  • Set deadlines for submitting MLS-ready asset sets including photos and any required unbranded virtual tour files.
  • Agree on the number of revisions allowed for post-processing adjustments before final approval and export.
  • Specify the method for delivering client-ready viewing links and embedding codes for your website or listing platform.
