Advice on retainer pricing for real estate photography/video? (10-12 properties/month)
Hi everyone,
I'm currently negotiating a retainer deal with a local real estate agency and I’d love to get some perspective on how you guys handle long-term contracts.
To make it efficient, I'm thinking about dedicated "shooting days"—basically giving them one full day a week where I knock out 3 properties in one go.
What percentage discount is standard for this volume? My current math puts a 20% discount as the "sweet spot".
Flat Monthly Fee vs. Per-Unit? Do you prefer charging a flat monthly "retainer" or just a discounted per-property rate?
The "One Day a Week" Strategy: For those doing this, how do you handle weather delays or properties not being ready?
How do you handle it when they suddenly throw in a luxury mansion that takes twice as long, but they want it under the same "standard" flat rate?
Thanks for any insight!
