What are the responsibilities and job description for the Real Estate Photographer/Videographer position at Chicago Real Estate Photography?
Job Summary:
At Chicago Real Estate Photography, we’re not just snapping houses — we’re building the go-to media brand for real estate agents who want to stand out. We’re on the hunt for someone who’s reliable, personable, and cool under pressure — someone who loves cruising around the suburbs, camera in hand, capturing homes that deserve to shine.
You’ll be bouncing from appointment to appointment, listening to music, meeting agents, shooting awesome content, and uploading it at the end of the day. That’s it.
No editing. No client management. No sitting at a desk staring at a screen until midnight.
If you're the kind of person who enjoys solo drives, cracking jokes with homeowners, and the satisfaction of getting “the shot,” this might be the most fun you've ever had with a camera (and yes, we pay you for it).
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Drive to scheduled real estate appointments in the northwest suburbs
- Capture high-quality photos and/or video walkthroughs using our provided shot list
- Deliver a friendly, professional experience for agents, homeowners, and tenants
- Upload your raw media at the end of the day (don’t worry, no editing required)
- Communicate clearly and quickly if something goes wrong on-site (life happens)
What You’ll Need:
- Strong customer service and communication skills (people will remember your vibe more than your camera)
- An iPhone 11 Pro or newer
- Reliable transportation and a valid driver’s license
- A positive attitude and willingness to learn — no experience required, we’ll train the right person
- Willingness to obtain a FAA Part 107 Drone License (we’ll coach you through it)
Strongly Preferred Equipment:
We love people who come prepared. If you already have some gear, even better. Here’s what we’re looking for:
- ✅ Approved DSLR or Mirrorless Camera
- ✅ Approved Wide-Angle Lens (10–12mm for crop sensor, 17–18mm for full frame)
- ✅ Tripod
- ✅ Approved Drone
- ✅ Approved 3D Camera
- ✅ Approved Gimbal
(Missing some of this? No problem — we can help get you equipped.)
Bonus Points If You Have:
- Previous service industry or customer-facing experience
- A natural eye for clean compositions and detail
- Familiarity with basic camera settings (ISO, shutter, aperture — but we’ll teach you too)
Perks & Culture:
- Competitive per-shoot pay, paid weekly
- No editing or back-end tasks — just show up, shoot, upload, and done
- Flexible schedule that works around your life
- On-the-job training and real-world skill-building
- Fun, chill team environment that actually cares about your growth
- Basically: Get paid to drive around, listen to music, and make houses look amazing
