Real Estate Photography Contract

What is the Real Estate Photography Contract?

The Real Estate Photography Contract is a 2026 master template published by We Get Around Network (WGAN) for residential and commercial real estate imaging engagements. It establishes the working relationship between a photographer or reality-capture professional and a listing agent, broker, owner, builder, or property manager. The template covers services from HDR photography and 3D virtual tours to drone operations and video production, and is designed as a U.S. general-use starting point adaptable to individual state requirements.

When should you use this form?

The Real Estate Photography Contract is appropriate any time a photographer, 3D tour creator, or reality-capture professional is hired to document a residential or commercial property for sale, lease, or marketing purposes. Use it before a shoot involving HDR photography, Matterport or iGuide capture, drone flights, video walkthroughs, floor-plan measurement, or virtual staging — whenever a written agreement defining fees, deliverable rights, and liability is needed.

What's included in this template?

• Scope of Services with Schedule A checklist covering HDR, 3D tours, drone, video, and floor plans
• Client authority and property access requirements before shoot day
• Property preparation responsibilities assigned to the client
• Fees, payment terms, and deposit structure
• Cancellation, rescheduling, and weather-delay policy
• Intellectual property ownership and media license granted to the client
• AI training-data restrictions and content authenticity clause
• Aerial and drone operations compliance with FAA Part 107
• Privacy disclosures, warranty disclaimer, indemnification, and limitation of liability
