I’m part of a company that owns real estate throughout the country and we are looking to create a network of real estate photographers that we can contract with to take photos of our properties in their local areas that we could use for marketing (website, collateral, etc).

We own a lot of real estate in different areas of the country including:
Florida: Fort Meyers, Bonita Springs, Captiva, Sanibel, Naples, Leigh Acres, Ocala
Ohio: Jeffersonville, Dayton
California: Big Bear Lake, Anaheim
Michigan: Battle Creek, Roscommon
Texas: San Antonio, El Paso
New York, NY
West Valley City, UT
Muskogee, OK
Pigeon Forge, TN
Artesia, NM

Our properties are very diverse - we have vacation homes, retail centers, warehouses, condos, office space, etc. Would this be something anyone would be interested in? If so, what would you charge to take pictures of our properties in your area?

Kat,

We do have members in most of those areas.

Could you please provide us with a website link and some level of professional contact information that will allow us to assess your company?

No offense intended, but we get some rather interesting posts here sometimes, and it's only prudent to make sure this is a legit offer.

Hi Cory,

I completely understand. Unfortunately, I cannot release the name of the company because we are still in the proposal process for this project. I can tell you that the company owns a billion dollars in real estate investments and has been around for over 35 years. We own hundreds of properties in over 29 states. This is definitely a legit offer and we are looking to learn the interest of real estate photographers in the areas I listed. I can give you my personal email address if you'd rather contact me that way - katlatta@gmail.com.

Hi Kat,
This seems to be mostly residential, or do you have commercial holdings as well? I do commercial property and high end residential photography for OMs and marketing materials: //www.johannasiegmann.com/architecture/commercial/

You're looking to create a network of photographers for your business but wont give out any info and prefer to use your personal email to conduct business?

Make any sense to you?

Hi tanguera,

Thank you for your website link and information. We have all types of real estate - retail plazas, offices, apartment complexes, hotels, houses, etc. You're in the LA area, correct?

since you guys seemed interested. a quick google cross referencing the name and email address yields the following resume. Not sure if its real or not - but you seemed interested so i clicked a few buttons.

https://purzue.com/Katherine_Pawley/32827-katherine-pawleys-resume

adding in the the university and the name brings you to //www.linkedin.com/pub/katherine-pawley/38/9a/467 which suggests shes an SEO Analyst at R+L Carriers. A search of that company doesn't directly relate to any real estate holdings, but its a proposal for a client? or maybe related to a second or more current gig?

The same persons mentioned on another SEO business at //ontargetwebsolutions.com/company/meet-the-on-target-team/

There's loads more data you can extract given all that information and it works two ways if you use linked in. you guys know this stuff better than I do.

Ps Kat, feel free to get this post removed via the site or send me a PM if the content seems to be more information than you want to reveal. I'll take it off.

Kat, while I understand a certain reluctance to provide information on your company before it has launched, you must know that real estate photography in the era of web advertisement has segmented into several markets, and the most common solicitations to photographers for in this feild work come from the bottom end. I have wasted time with several firms only to find their offers of contracts involved shooting at several scattered locations for a daily rate that when accounting for travel costs and editing time would have worked out at well below the legal minimum wage. If you could provide assurance that your planned company was not looking at that end of market, you might gather a few more replies.

I'm available in Pacific Northwest - actually world wide on an expense account. Shoot High end real estate photos for Agents and Owners. And shoot architectural photography for Architects, Builders. PM me and I'll send you a link to portfolio.

Your locations were mostly elsewhere but always appreciate referrals.
