Built around the part agents actually complain about.
Not the photography — the waiting. Carolina Home Photos is a real estate photography company serving agents across the Charlotte metro, run by Don Elrod and Mike Strauss.
How a shoot works
- Book it yourself. Pick your package, date and time on the order form. No callback, no phone tag. Payment is taken at booking.
- Get the property ready. Lights on, cars moved, garage closed, pets out of the rooms being photographed. Confirm with your seller 24 hours ahead.
- We shoot. Photography, and whatever else is on the order — tour, video, aerial, floor plan — in the one visit. On-site measuring sometimes needs an appointment of its own; we will say so when you book.
- Photos land by noon the next day. Video often follows the next day too, and within 48 hours at the latest. Everything arrives in your client portal.
- Use it. MLS-sized downloads, the full-resolution set, the floor plan, and a property website — on every package.
Before we arrive
The five minutes that make the difference between a good set and a great one.
- Every interior light on, throughout the house
- Cars out of the driveway
- Garage doors closed
- Pets out of the areas being photographed
- As few people in the house as possible
- Counters, bathrooms and floors cleared
No quotes, no haggling, no "it depends".
Every price is published. They step with heated square footage, and the price builder works out your exact total before you speak to anyone.
Three things do not come off the price list, because putting a number on them without seeing the property would be guessing: anything over 10,000 square feet, commercial property, and re-shoots of a listing we have already photographed. Call for those and we will give you a real number.
Real estate photography, video, 3D tours and floor plans for agents across the Charlotte metro. Photos back by noon the next day.
