What others have said...
"WOW! That is all I have to say! WOW. You did an amazing job!"
- Michelle Sanders, Keller Williams Signature Partners
"I have to tell you, your pictures are nothing short of amazing. The angles and the way you capture the essence of a room are really perfect. I know the value of a great photographer, but I never thought I would see the value at this price point. I'm quickly becoming a believer. In fact, I would argue that having professional photos taken of Eva's condo may be the single best thing that could happen to this listing. Thank you…they are fantastic."
- Josh Bates, Harry Norman Realty
"They are absolutely fabulous. I am actually really impressed with how well the pictures turned out. Somehow you made empty rooms come to life and have character. I am not sure how I will be able to narrow it down to 25! I will definitely be adding the link in the remark section for people to be able to link to. Thank you so much!"
- Cheri O'Connor, Keller Williams Signature Partners

Results oriented
“You never get a second chance to make a first impression.”
If you've recently browsed through the multiple listings, then you undoubtedly came to the same conclusion that I and many potential home buyers have... that 90% of home photography poorly represents the home being viewed on-line. That could be a turning point that determines whether a potential home buyer continues looking at the on-line photos, or goes on to the next one. When a home buyer passes up a listing due to poor photography, the result is a lost opportunity. The only way keep home buyers interested is by enticing them with a great first impression, which is only possible with great real estate photography. The same principal applies to the sales of commercial listing. Please read on...
The purchase of a home is the biggest investment most people make in their lifetime, and photos are the first things a buyer looks at when considering the purchase of a home. We realize that great home photography is a major factor influencing potential buyers to visit your listing. Point and shoot cameras and iPhones will not provide the high quality, high definition results you need to intrigue your clients. This can only be achieved with professional photographic equipment and a photographer who not only knows how to use it, but also knows how to use it to capture the best angles and lighting in and around the home. Producing professional home photography is what we provide. Our goal is that our service and results speak for themselves so that you will use us again and recommend us to your colleagues, friends, and family.
We will always respect your time as well as that of the homeowner's, and make sure that the home is respected as well. Please make sure that the home is properly prepared and showcased for photography. We will move certain small items out of view as required, however the home should photo-ready when we arrive. You will be pleased with the results, as will your clients.
For your convenience we can access the home using a Supra eKey. We have Supra eKey subscriptions which enalbles us access to any home with the Blue GAMLS Supra Box, meaning that you do not have to meet us at the home to let us in. Naturally you are welcome to join us. When scheduling photography for a home with a Supra Box, please be sure to provide us with the CBS code in advance as GAMLS has changed their policy and all contractors require the CBS code in order to open the Supra Box.
Not only Professional Photography, but also Professional Photo Editing!
All photography is professionally carefully examined and edited as required by JMAUROPHOTO based on many years of photo editing in the printing and graphic arts industry and using color calibrated monitors. We do not outsource photo editing, which generally takes approximately the same amount of time as the photography.
Pricing: simple and flexible
Pricing is calculated using a flexible and scalable formula that is very reasonable and based on a percentage of the homes listed price starting at $175.00. Upon request, homes listing for $375,000 or above include one Virtual Tour, branded or unbranded, with license-free music.
Please request a quote by using our contact form or calling us. Please be sure to provide the home location, listing price, and date you would like your listing photography. We will do our best to accommodate your request based on our schedule.

We never charge for 24 hour rush processing. You can expect your photography to be ready by the next business day or sooner (*Saturday photography will be ready by Monday).
Photography and delivery of your pictures
Depending on the size of the home, photographic sessions generally take between 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 hours. Our goal is to provide you with an adequate number of photos from which to make your selection for on-line listing with the Multiple Listing Service. All photos will be available on our web site for convenient downloading and sized as specified by the MLS. You will receive an e-mail notification with the link as soon as they are ready. If requested, the virtual tour will be posted on our site and on YouTube (unless otherwise requested), and we will provide you with link to the on-line locations. As an added value and to aid in your sales efforts, we encourage you to share the gallery and or slideshow links to your social media sites. You gallery includes your contact information and a map link to the homes location. Sharing the complete gallery of photos and/or the slideshow on your social media sites increases your listings exposure and can reduce the time from listing to "Just Sold." There is no additional charge for this service, and there is never a surcharge for 24 hour processing or Saturday photography.
Upon request, we can also provide beautiful panoramic photography of your properties.
Virtual Staging
We are excited to offer this service to our clients. Virtual staging for vacant homes can offer a tremendous cost savings compared to physical home staging. Our computerized Virtual Staging is very realistic and done in the USA by USA Military Veterans who are professional home decorators. We will never outsource any work to other countries. For more information about this exciting offering, please click HERE.
Virtual Tours
A High Definition Virtual Tour is available for all Real Estate Photography by JMAUROPHOTO for an additional fee (offered free for projects valued at $250 or more). Virtual Tours are produced using photos from the set of high quality photographs provided and are compiled using professional video editing software. Tours are sequenced in order to give the viewer a sense of walking through the home and are enhanced with license-free soundtracks. Virtual tour are limited to between 1 1/2 and 3 minutes in order to keep the viewers attention. JMAUROPHOTO virtual tours are of a much higher quality than those automatically generated by the MLS. You may choose to have your Virtual Tour branded with your name and contact information, or have it unbranded for compliance with the MLS. Completed virtual tours are posted on YouTube and/or on jmaurophoto.com. It is very easy to grab the link from YouTube and post it on your own website, or if you prefer you can embed the virtual tour on your site so your potential buyers stay on your site. Due to the processing and editing times, virtual tours are generally provided within 48 hours.
Visit our YouTube channel to see our Virtual Tours, or you may see examples of our virtual tours by clicking on the link above to our Virtual Tour Gallery.
360° Virtual Tours
We offer 360° Virtual Tours that can be viewed on a PC/Mac or on a mobile phone or tablet. A 360° camera is used to capture the interior spaces of a home and the result enables your potential buyers to virtually tour the home using their computer and mouse. Viewers can easily navigate a home, scroll from room to room and visualize different elevations of the home. Due to the nature of the technology it is not possible to download the 360° virtual tour. However, the tour is hosted in a cloud based service where you can easily grab the embed code to run on your site. Learn more and see a sample by clicking HERE.
More than great photography...
Our services go beyond great home photography. In addition to the photography and virtual tours, we also support your sales efforts with search engine optimization (SEO) by tagging all photos to increase the likelihood that your listings will be found by search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. Additionally, newly photographed homes may be features as a "Project of The Week" on our Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and Google pages.
Staging your home for photography
When potential buyers see the first photo of your home, that photo should entice them to see the rest. If after having seen all of the photos they are interested in a showing, then the photography has served its purpose. However, no matter how good the quality of the photography, if the subject of the photography is not up to par, then instead of convincing your viewer(s) to continue looking, they may be more likely to move on to see the next house. If this happens, then the presentation failed. This can easily be avoided by professional staging or basic home preparation. We can recommend professional staging services if you are interested.

Upon request we can also provide panoramic photography, 360 Tours, and video.
