Steps to Choosing Your Real Estate Photographer and Videographer:
1. Look for Local Experience
When you search “real estate photographer near me,” you’re going to get a list. But not all local photographers understand what sells in your specific market.
At Mill City Pixels, we specialize in Twin Cities neighborhoods—Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding metro. We know how to capture the character of a Linden Hills home or make a downtown condo pop.
2. Review Their Portfolio
Don’t just take their word for it—look at the work. A good real estate photographer should have a clean, consistent portfolio with natural lighting, crisp images, and a clear understanding of composition.
Check for:
- Wide-angle shots that aren’t distorted
- Even lighting (no dark corners or blown-out windows)
- Attention to detail in editing

3. Ask About Turnaround Time
Time is money, especially in real estate. Before you book, ask how fast they can deliver photos. At Mill City Pixels, we offer 24–48 hour turnaround on most packages—so you can get your listing live without delay.
4. Understand the Services Offered
Not every home needs drone shots or virtual tours—but some do. A great photographer should offer options like:
- Interior & exterior listing photos
- Aerial/drone photography
- 2D floor plans
- 3D virtual tours
- Twilight photography

5. Read Reviews from Other Agents
The best way to know what you’re getting? See what other agents say. Look for reviews that mention punctuality, quality, and customer service.
Spoiler: we’re proud to have consistent 5-star feedback from agents across Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
Final Thoughts: Finding the Right Fit
Your photographer is your marketing partner. A great one makes your listings shine, helps you stand out, and ultimately wins you more business.
