14 Listing Photo Add-On Services to Boost Appeal for Residential Properties

When you book professional photography for your real estate listings, consider looking at the big picture. High-quality photography is important to market any property, and it can be taken to the next level with additional services. Square Foot Photography provides a variety of add-on services to supplement your listing photos and provide a larger picture to potential buyers. As long as you book a Ground Photography Package, you may add any of these services to your booking. Here, we’ll take you through each one and highlight when it’s best used.

Drone Photography

Our Drone Photography add-on services provide a stunning view from above, showing the property’s boundaries and the surrounding area. When you combine this service with a Ground Photography package, you’ll receive up to 10 drone images for $135. This is available for properties under 5 acres. If your property is 5 acres or more, please book one of our standard Drone Photography packages.

⭐️ We recommend this service for: Large lots and properties close to downtown, major roadways, bodies of water, or other attractions.

Aerial Spotlight

Highlight and define a property with our Aerial Spotlight add-on service! Our team will add boundary lines and labels to a drone image of your listing for $11 per image. No more second-guessing where one property ends and another begins. A clear visual aid leaves potential buyers with no question as to the boundaries of your property listing.

⭐️ We recommend this service for: Large lots and lots with boundary lines that are unclear to the naked eye.

Twilight

Capture that beautiful, golden hour glow with our Twilight add-on package! We include up to 10 exterior images taken at sunset for $135. Twilight photography appointments are booked 1-2 hours before sunset time by default to ensure we can capture the full effect. If you would like to schedule this service as a separate appointment from your Ground Photography booking, there is an additional trip fee.

⭐️ We recommend this service for: Any property that you want to have that extra stunning visual that captures attention and invokes emotion, especially those with exterior lighting, pools, or entertainment spaces.

Virtual Twilight

If you’re looking for a quick twilight solution, try booking our Virtual Twilight add-on service. We will digitally transform a daytime photo into a stunning twilight image for only $11 per image. Our expert team and extensive editing process mean we don’t need to photograph your listing at actual sunset time.

⭐️ We recommend this service for: Listings that need a quick turnaround or when the weather is not cooperative for an actual sunset photo.

Virtual Sod/Green Grass

Unfortunately, grass doesn’t always stay green all year round, especially during the winter and drier months. Our Virtual Sod/Green Grass service will solve that issue for you! For $30, we will digitally spruce things up on all exterior images. Our editing team will replace bare or dead grass with vibrant green grass, providing a nice color contrast with the property.

⭐️ We recommend this service for: Properties with yards that are bare or have dead or dying grass.

Community Amenities

Potential buyers aren’t just interested in the property they’re looking at; they’re also curious about what it comes with. Add our Community Amenities service to your order to help show off the neighborhood or building amenities the buyer or renter would have access to. This package is $75 and includes up to 10 images of the property’s included amenities.

⭐️ We recommend this service for: Properties with community amenities, such as pools, parks, and clubrooms.

Nearby Area Shots Add-On (Per Location)

In addition to community amenities, people want to know what kind of lifestyle to expect when they move into a property. Our Nearby Area Shots service highlights nearby attractions like restaurants, bars, grocery stores, and walking trails. We’ll visit a few locations (within one mile of the property) and truly capture the lifestyle of the area. Pricing is based on the location, starting at $50, and includes 2-3 images per location.

⭐️ We recommend this service for: Properties located near appealing attractions and public amenities.

Vertical Highlight Video

Video format has proven to be highly successful in attracting and converting leads. The Vertical Highlight Video gives your audience a sneak peek of your listing with an engaging, 30-45 second reel-style teaser for $135. It shows off all the best features of your listing in vertical video format, ready to upload to social media. You can choose your preferred style, such as calm or upbeat, and you also have the option to add a drone clip for an additional $30.

⭐️ We recommend this service for: Agents who plan to use social media as part of their marketing strategy to boost interest in their listing.

Dual-Format Highlight Videos

If you want even more content for your social media marketing strategy, book our Dual-Format Highlight Videos service instead. It includes everything from the Vertical Highlight Video package, plus a 1-1.5 minute horizontal version, for $205. You’ll receive the same stylish edit in two formats to post on socials, websites, the MLS, or YouTube. You can also add a drone clip for both videos, at an additional $50 for 1-2 clips.

⭐️ We recommend this service for: Agents who plan to use social media, including YouTube, as part of their marketing strategy to boost interest in their listing.

Detailed Shots

Have you ever heard, “it’s all in the details?” Well, it really is! Our Detailed Shots service shows off your listing’s overall aesthetic and little touches with a big impact. Instead of a traditional wide-angle lens, we use a zoom lens to capture detailed shots of your listing’s best features and amenities. For $75, you’ll receive up to 10 images.

⭐️ We recommend this service for: Any short-term rentals and design-forward properties.

2D Floor Plan

A floor plan is a classic in real estate listings for a reason. It really helps show potential buyers or renters what they can do with a space, providing dimensions and a layout overview. Our 2D Floor Plan add-on includes fixtures and approximate dimensions, and can be added to any ground package for $75.

⭐️ We recommend this service for: Any property with a complete layout that is not under construction.

Zillow Showcase Tour

You’re likely syndicating your listings on sites like Zillow, so we recently introduced the perfect add-on service for this. Add high-impact marketing to your listing with an immersive Zillow Showcase Tour, available with any ground photo package. You’ll receive a 3D virtual tour and an interactive floor plan for $135. It’s also compatible with Zillow 3D Home for non-Showcase listings.

⭐️ We recommend this service for: Any listings you plan to market on Zillow.

Virtual Staging

Our Virtual Staging service helps buyers visualize a space’s full potential by adding photo-realistic virtual furniture and decor. At $24 per image on top of a Ground Photography package, it’s a fraction of the cost and turnaround time of traditional staging. You can choose between modern/contemporary, restoration hardware/modern, farmhouse/rustic, or coastal style designs.

⭐️ We recommend this service for: Properties that are vacant or have outdated, mismatched, or overcrowded furnishings.

Virtual Remodeling

Our Virtual Remodeling service takes things a step further by replacing existing features with photo-realistic walls, floors, hardware, light fixtures, built-ins, and furniture. For $85 per image, you’ll receive a digital renovation to help buyers visualize a space’s full and highest potential. Please note that a longer turnaround time may be necessary for this service.

⭐️ We recommend this service for: Properties that are unfinished or in need of a functional makeover, such as those with outdated or awkward layouts.
