Real Estate Media Photographer

Job Description

Job Description

Coverage Area: Typically within 30 minutes of Worcester, with occasional drives up to 60 minutes or more depending on traffic and project needs.

Before we get into the details, here’s the most important thing to know:

We like to say we're customer service people first, we just happen to hold a camera!

Yes, you'll be capturing photo, video, and drone content, but you'll also be walking into people's homes, working directly with real estate agents, and representing our company at every appointment.

The media matters, but the experience matters just as much.

That's why we're looking for someone who is friendly, professional, dependable, and genuinely enjoys working with people.

About the Role

We're hiring a personable, dependable, and coachable team member to join our growing real estate media company serving Worcester and the surrounding areas.

This role is perfect for someone who enjoys being out and about rather than sitting behind a desk all day. One day you might be photographing a luxury home, the next you're capturing drone footage, meeting new clients, and helping local real estate agents market their listings.

No professional photography experience is required. We care far more about personality, communication skills, reliability, and willingness to learn than prior technical experience.

If you're friendly, tech-savvy, customer-focused, and enjoy working independently while meeting new people, this could be an amazing fit.

What You'll Do

• Travel to residential properties throughout the Worcester area

• Capture interior and exterior listing photos and basic video content

• Operate drone photography when applicable (training provided)

• Communicate professionally with agents and homeowners

• Follow company shooting processes and quality standards

• Upload media after appointments (editing is handled separately)

• Deliver an exceptional customer experience at every shoot

• Collaborate with both local team members and offshore support staff

This is an active, field-based role where no two days look exactly the same.

Schedule & Availability

• Approximately 10–30 hours per week depending on seasonality

• Preferred availability: Thursday through Monday (5 days per week)

• Open to discussing alternative schedules with the right candidate

• Most appointments occur during standard daytime business hours

• Flexibility, punctuality, and reliability are essential

• Some days may involve significant driving between appointments

One of the best parts of this role is the flexibility and variety. You'll spend your days visiting different homes, meeting new people, and working independently while still being supported by a great team.

Compensation

• Paid training provided at a fixed rate of $15/hour

• Standard photo shoots: starting at $25 per unit

• Each unit represents approximately 60 minutes of scheduled on-site time

• Once FAA drone certified, compensation increases to $30 per unit

• Additional pay available for video projects and specialty services

• Mileage reimbursement provided at $0.30 per mile

What We're Looking For

• Friendly and customer-service oriented

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills

• Reliable, punctual, and professional

• Coachable and open to feedback

• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently

• Positive attitude and team-oriented mindset

• Comfortable driving throughout Worcester and surrounding communities

• Comfortable learning new technology and systems quickly

• Able to represent our company professionally at every appointment

• Willing to work closely with agents, homeowners, and team members

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is easygoing, solution-oriented, and not prone to complaining when challenges arise. Real estate media can involve long days, traffic, schedule changes, and unexpected situations. A positive attitude and commitment to serving clients well are critical for success.

Requirements

• Reliable smartphone

• Reliable high-speed internet

• Access to a computer

• Dependable personal vehicle

• Comfortable spending a significant portion of the day driving between appointments

• Willingness to obtain FAA Part 107 Drone Certification within 30 days of hire (training and guidance provided)

• Comfortable learning drone operations

• Ability to lift and carry photography equipment

• Comfortable walking multiple properties, climbing stairs, and being active throughout the day

This role can be physically demanding at times. Some days involve extended driving, multiple appointments, stairs, and carrying equipment. Candidates should be comfortable with an active, on-the-go work environment.

Customer service, hospitality, retail, restaurant, property management, or other client-facing experience is a huge plus!

Growth Opportunities & Team Culture

We're a small, supportive, team-first company that values professionalism, collaboration, and personal growth. We work hard to create a positive environment where team members support one another and take pride in delivering exceptional service.

Experience can be taught. Character, attitude, and customer service mindset are much harder to teach.

If you're someone who enjoys helping people, takes pride in your work, and wants to grow with a company that's actively expanding, we'd love to meet you.

Why People Enjoy This Role

• Paid training provided

• Flexible schedule

• Mileage reimbursement

• Opportunity to learn photography, videography, and drone operations

• Supportive and collaborative team culture

• Independent work with direct client interaction

• Every day looks different

• Opportunity to earn FAA drone certification

• Growth opportunities within a growing company

If you're dependable, personable, customer-focused, and excited to grow with a positive team while learning valuable new skills, we'd love to hear from you.
