What are the responsibilities and job description for the Real Estate Photographer & Videographer position at Hise Estate?
Hise Estate is a growing real estate media company serving agents, brokerages, and property managers across the Myrtle Beach area. We deliver professional photography, drone footage, video walkthroughs, and 3D tours that help listings sell faster.
We are looking for a motivated, self-directed photographer to join our contractor team. You do not need years of experience to apply. What matters most is that you are eager to learn, dependable, and interested in building real skills in a growing industry.
This role is ideal for someone currently in school or recently graduated who wants hands-on business experience, flexible hours that fit their schedule, and income that scales with their effort.
Beyond photography, there is an opportunity to contribute to our sales pipeline by helping generate referrals, engaging with local agents, and booking new clients. This is entirely optional but rewarded, and represents a direct path to higher earnings and a larger role within the company.
Don't meet all the requirements? We'd love to hear from you.
