Turn Your Photography Skills Into a Career in Real Estate Media

Pinnacle Property Media is looking for an outgoing, dependable and detail-oriented individual who enjoys photography, creating visual media, working with people and building professional relationships.

This position combines professional real estate media creation with local client development.

You will be trained to create real estate photography, video, aerial drone media, 3D tours, floor plans and other marketing content while building relationships with real estate professionals and businesses throughout your assigned territory.

Previous real estate photography experience is not required. We provide training.

If you have experience using a DSLR or mirrorless camera for portraits, sports, events, content creation or hobby photography—and you are comfortable meeting people and developing relationships—we encourage you to apply.

Approximately 20 Hours Per Week to Start.

This position is expected to begin at approximately 20 total hours per week, with the opportunity for hours, Media Appointments and earnings to increase as the territory develops.

Starting time may include:

Media Appointments.
Company training.
Prospecting and client outreach.
Follow-up with prospective and existing clients.
Brokerage visits.
Realtor association and networking meetings.
Presentations.
Scheduling and other approved business-development activities.

This is not intended to be a few-hours-per-week photography side job.

We are looking for someone who wants to build a meaningful role with Pinnacle, develop long-term client relationships and grow their income as appointment volume increases.

What You'll Do:

Create Professional Real Estate Media:

You will be trained to capture professional property marketing media including:

Real estate photography.
Cinematic property video.
Drone photography and aerial video.
3D models and virtual tours.
Floor plans.
Vacation rental media.
Commercial property media.
Social and marketing content.

At Media Appointments, you will be expected to prepare spaces appropriately, follow Pinnacle's capture standards and upload complete, organized media by the required deadline.

Pinnacle handles editing and post-production, allowing you to focus on capturing media, serving clients and growing relationships.

Build Your Local Client Base:

This is not a capture-only photography position.
Our Territory Media Specialists also help grow Pinnacle's presence within their assigned markets.

You will:

Introduce Pinnacle Property Media to prospective clients.
Build relationships with real estate agents and brokerages.
Contact prospective clients by phone, email and in person.
Make prospecting and cold calls.
Follow up with prospective and existing clients.
Schedule Media Appointments.
Visit local real estate offices.
Attend appropriate brokerage and Realtor association meetings.
Participate in networking opportunities.
Give presentations when appropriate.
Develop repeat business within your territory.
Identify opportunities with businesses that use professional property media.

Potential clients may include:

Real estate agents.
Brokerages.
Vacation rental companies.
Property managers.
Builders and developers.
Commercial property owners.
Hospitality businesses.
Apartment communities.
Interior designers.
Home-service companies.
Other businesses that benefit from professional photography, video and digital media.

Prospecting, networking and relationship development are ongoing responsibilities of this position.

The difference at Pinnacle is that approved business-development activities are paid hourly even when they do not immediately result in a booking.

Compensation:

This position uses two separate compensation methods depending on the work performed.

Training & Business-Development Activities:

Earn $20 per hour for approved non-appointment activities including:

Initial company training.
Prospecting.
Cold calling.
Marketing and client outreach.
Follow-up.
Scheduling.
Networking.
Brokerage visits.
Meetings.
Presentations.
Other approved work not compensated through Media Appointment revenue.

You are paid for approved prospecting and business-development activities even when those activities do not immediately result in a booking.

Media Appointment Compensation:

Media Appointments are compensated separately based on appointment revenue.

New Clients You Bring to Pinnacle:

Earn 50% of Media Appointment revenue on the first Media Appointment you personally complete for a new client you bring to Pinnacle.

Repeat Media Appointments:

Earn 30% of Media Appointment revenue on subsequent Media Appointments you complete for that client.

Company-Provided Media Appointments:

Earn 30% of Media Appointment revenue for Media Appointments provided to you by Pinnacle.

Hourly compensation is separate from and is not deducted from Media Appointment compensation.

The same work does not receive both hourly and revenue-based compensation.

Driving time to and from hourly-paid activities is not included in hourly compensation except where payment is required by applicable law.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

Approximately 20 hours per week to start.
Opportunity for hours and appointment volume to grow.
Estimated annual earning opportunity of $30,000–$75,000.
Training provided.
No previous real estate photography experience required.
Flexible scheduling within agreed availability.
Paid business-development activities.
Revenue-based Media Appointment compensation.
Opportunity to build repeat clients.
Work independently in the field.
No photo editing required.
No video editing required.
Pinnacle handles post-production.
Learn photography, video, drone, 3D and floor-plan services.
Work directly with real estate professionals and business owners.
Grow your income as your territory and client relationships develop.

Who We're Looking For:

We are looking for someone who is:

Outgoing and comfortable meeting new people.
Comfortable initiating conversations.
Willing to make cold calls and prospect for business.
Confident communicating with real estate professionals and business owners.
Motivated to grow their income.
Interested in photography, video and visual media.
Reliable and professional.
Highly detail-oriented.
Organized with scheduling and follow-up.
Comfortable working independently.
Able to follow detailed instructions and checklists.
Receptive to coaching and feedback.
Interested in building long-term client relationships.

Photography Experience:

You do not need previous real estate photography experience.
You should have experience using a DSLR or mirrorless camera and an interest in learning professional real estate media.

This opportunity may be a strong fit for people with backgrounds in:

Portrait photography.
Sports photography.
Event photography.
Photography as a serious hobby.
Content creation.
Videography.
Hospitality.
Customer service.
Sales.
Brand ambassador work.
Networking.
Business development.

Attention to Detail Matters:

Our Media Specialists do more than press a shutter button.
Before photographing a room or property, you are expected to evaluate the space carefully and identify items that could negatively affect professional marketing photographs.

Examples may include:

Trash cans.
Toothbrushes and toiletries.
Soap and shampoo bottles.
Personal family photographs.
Cleaning supplies.
Loose cords.
Dirty or misplaced towels.
Keys, wallets and glasses.
Clutter on counters.
Random personal belongings.
Items that would not normally appear in a professionally presented listing, vacation rental or hotel room.

The right person naturally notices these details and takes pride in presenting every property at its best.

FAA Part 107 Requirement:

Drone experience is helpful but is not required to apply.
Pinnacle requires its Media Specialists to obtain an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate before performing drone services or attending Media Appointments that require drone operation.
Applicants who are not currently certified must be willing to obtain their Part 107 certification if selected for the position.

Requirements:

Experience using a DSLR or mirrorless camera.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
Reliable vehicle.
Valid driver's license.
Smartphone with a data plan.
Laptop or desktop computer.
Reliable internet connection for media uploads.
Ability to travel throughout the assigned territory.
Daytime availability for Media Appointments and business-development activities.
Ability to work independently.
Willingness to complete Pinnacle training.
Willingness to follow detailed capture standards.
Willingness to actively prospect and build client relationships.

Applicants currently operating their own real estate photography or drone business will not be considered.

About Pinnacle Property Media:

Pinnacle Property Media provides professional photography, video, drone media, 3D tours, floor plans and marketing services for real estate agents, property managers, builders, developers, vacation rental operators and other businesses throughout Florida.

Our field team focuses on capturing exceptional media and developing client relationships while Pinnacle provides training, systems, client support and post-production.

This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants more than a basic photography job.

We are looking for someone who wants to learn professional real estate media, meet people, build relationships, develop a territory and grow into a meaningful long-term income opportunity.
