Property Readiness
-
The Client is expected to have the property "camera ready" prior to the beginning of the arrival window. This includes all cleaning and furniture staging.
-
Please have your clients review our Getting Ready checklist.
-
If the ShutterHouse Photographer arrives at the appointment and the home is not ready, the property will be shot "As Is".
-
We value your feedback and input for choosing the best angles to photograph the property. If you would like to give input, please meet the Photographer at the beginning of the appointment or add notes in the "comments" section of the order.
-
Absent your input, the ShutterHouse Photographer will use his/her best judgment and experience to decide which angles will best highlight the property.
Order Details & Accuracy
-
The Client is expected to have accurately entered or communicated all pertinent information at the time the order was placed. We reserve the right to update incorrect information and adjust the pricing of the order to accurately reflect the order (ex. The client enters that the property is 1,200 square feet but it is actually 2,400 square feet).
-
Our pricing reflects the cost for a single dwelling in a residential household. For commercial or multi-unit properties, please contact our office for a personalized quote.
Reschedule -Cancellation Policy
-
Confirmed appointments canceled or rescheduled within 24 hours before the appointment start time are subject to a $50 cancellation fee.
-
Appointments that cannot be completed due to weather issues (ex. Our Photographer is unable to fly the drone due to rain/wind, or too heavy of rain to capture exteriors), will be rescheduled after contacting the Realtor and the $50 cancellation fee will be waived.
Payment Terms
-
When ordering services online (preferred), you will be invoiced at the time the order is placed. If services are ordered via phone/text, you will be invoiced before all media has been delivered unless discussed prior to the appointment. Payment is due upon receipt of the invoice. After 15 days of non-payment, a late fee of $25/month will be assessed.
-
If there is a balance on your account that is over 45 days outstanding, Shutterhouse Photography will freeze all assets and pause the ordering process until the balance has been paid.
-
After 90 days of non-payment, we will send the account to collections.
Service Area Coverage
We predominately service a 60-mile driving radius from the center of our
primary service area (Fort Collins, Colorado). Properties beyond the 60 mile range will receive an additional trip fee, which will be applied at the time of order. Please contact our office for properties that are outside of Northern Colorado and Southeast Wyoming.
Hosting
ShutterHouse Photography will guarantee media hosting for one-year from the appointment date, with the exception of Matterport 3D Tour & Floorplan.
