The FAQ

Who do you work with?

A.Woodbury Palm clients range from home owners, real estate agents and brokers, developers, and even AirBnB hosts. We aim to serve any and all clients who could use our photography expertise

How long does it take to photograph a listing?

A.Depending on the size of the property shoots can take anywhere from 30 – 60 mins for regular size homes to 2hrs for larger homes. In the event that a property is not properly staged and ready to shoot this can impact the timing for the photographer on site. Woodbury Palm allows 20 mins of buffer time at each shoot for helping agents with basic preparations, however if the listing is not ready and can not be quickly cleaned within 20 mins then the shoot needs to be rescheduled.

Will the photographer stage my property?

A.Due to potential liability and property damage, our photographers are limited only to light staging (e.g. arranging pillows and blankets, closing toilet seats, turning off TVs, and straightening chairs). Realtors and their clients should be sure to clean, prepare, and stage the property prior to the shoot. Please make sure to view our preparation checklist that lists our recommendations to ensure your photos and video look the best.
