Five Questions to Ask Any Real Estate Photographer Before You Hire Them
A good photographer makes your listing shine. A bad one costs you money. Before you hire anyone, here are the questions agents should be asking — but usually don’t.
1. “Are you insured and FAA Part 107 certified?”
If the answer is no… keep scrolling.
Liability and drone legality matter a lot in Colorado, especially near:
airports
mountain ridges
wildlife corridors
populated neighborhoods
Drone Services
2. “Do you deliver editorial, true-to-life edits?”
Overedited photos:
mislead buyers
trigger appraisal issues
cause trust problems
You want natural, magazine-style editing — not neon colors.
3. “What is your turnaround time?”
Your photographer should offer:
4. “Do you offer 3D, drone, floor plans, and twilight?”
Full-service providers help agents market confidently.
Zillow 3D Home Tours
Twilight Photography
5. “Do you understand the Western Slope’s terrain and weather?”
The Western Slope isn’t Denver. We have:
canyon shadows
unpredictable winds
snow-country logistics
rural access challenges
A local expert always outperforms a city-based photographer.
