Ordering Questions

How Much Does It Cost?

Package costs vary depending on the package selected, the size of the property, and the extra features added to the service packages. All our service packages are performed at the same high level of quality, regardless the size of the project. If you are interested in learning more about the services we offer and the prices for each service, please contact us.

How Far Ahead Do I Need to Book

We usually ask you give us at least 48 hours of notice; more if requesting a video production. However these are only suggestions. With first time clients it may take longer to get the paper work done, however with client’s we have previously worked with, we are able to streamline the process and can accommodate almost any reasonable requests (given the availability of our photographers).

Changing / Cancelling a Booking

There will be a $50 fee, or 20% of total package price; whichever is greater (including all travel costs if applicable) applied to cancellations made less than 24 hours notice prior to session time.

Turnover Time

The time it takes to complete the product depends entirely on which package is selected. Our photo packages are usually completed within 24-48 hours, with rush delivery services available if desired. Video packages range between 2-7 business days; with smaller packages generally 2-3 business days, and larger package 5-7 business days. If you need a project completed urgently, please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate you, subject to availability.

How Do I Get Billed?

There are two options for billing offered to clients. You may either pay in full before the commencement of the project, or a 50% deposit before commencement, with the remaining balance at delivery. If you would like to discuss alternative arrangements, please speak with us.

Production Questions

What if the Weather is Bad?

We are locally based, so we will usually have an idea of the weather before we decide to proceed with production. If you are not contacted with a date change request, you must change the booking within 24 hours notice so we may reschedule for a more appropriate day.

How Should I Prepare the Property?

Montreal Real Estate Photos has a pre-shoot checklist page to review before your shoot date. We ask you review the guide, and follow the appropriate suggestions before the photographer arrives at your property.

What if the Property Owners are Home?

That is totally fine, but we ask the owners clear the rooms or locations when the shoot is in production. This helps ensure efficient production and minimal distractions, so that the shoot can finish in an appropriate amount of time.

Making Changes to Videos

You will be given the opportunity to approve the video before it goes public. Our order forms ask enough information that we are usually able to complete the videos without any changes requested on the client end. You will however be given the opportunity to request ONE non-fundamental change in the production before the video goes public (Only available for specific packages). Additional changes will be billed at $150/hr (minimum 1 hour).

Our Services

HDR Photography

High Dynamic Range photos (no, no HDR does not stand for High Definition) is a technique that balances an even exposure. We take multiple shots of the same frame with low, medium, and high exposure and then combine them together to create an image that has a well lit exposure throughout. The benefits of this method is to avoid blown-out windows, or dark corners and result in a sharp, image that is accurate to what you would see with the naked eye.

Cinematic Videos

RMS & Floorplans

Our commercial and residential measurement services are E&O (Errors & Omissions) insured and accurate, leaving you with a risk-free process. Using laser equipment and professional software, our methods are reliable and efficient. We measure to the RMS (Residential Measurement Standard) as set by municipalities, and in accordance with BOMA for commercial properties.

Aerials

Show off your properties with a higher and more impressive perspective. Using reliable and professional equipment, we are able to provide you with sharp aerial drone photography. Insured and certified with UAV/drone operations. Aerial packages are flexible and can be combined with other photo and video bookings. Images are delivered in MLS and print ready sizes.

Virtual Staging

Bring empty spaces to life and appeal to your buyers with welcoming images of your property. Staging vacant rooms is proven to reduce selling time, and increase property selling price. With virtual staging, you are still able to achieve the look of traditional property staging at a fraction of the cost and with much reduced effort.

Miscellaneous

What Platforms Do We Post On?

For our video production hosting, we rely on the world’s largest video content delivery network: YouTube. This provides our clients the largest amount of online exposure, plus the availability of automatic optimization for all devices.

Who Owns The Final Copy?

The copyright for the work is owned by Sonapix Inc. The final form of the product is provided to the client, with permission to use it only in areas specified in the client agreement. Usually this would include any online marketing avenues to help promote the property.
