Kemp Photography brings a full portable studio to your brokerage or commercial real estate firm and photographs the whole roster in a day. Pricing is a flat day rate: $3,600 for a Half Day, $4,850 and up for a Full Day, with no travel add-on. Agents get a polished face for their listings, and your brand gets a team page that looks like it belongs to one company.
Why real estate teams need consistent headshots
In real estate, the agent is the product. A buyer scrolls past a hundred listings and remembers a face. A seller interviewing three agents compares the three photos before the first call.
For a brokerage, that face is also the brand. Franchise or independent, the roster is the storefront. If half of it was shot against a hedge in 2016 and the other half is cropped from a cocktail event, the brand message gets muddy.
Commercial firms have a parallel need. Brokers, asset managers and analysts appear in offering memoranda, tenant pitches and investor decks. Matching portraits across those documents tell tenants and capital partners that the shop is organized.
Where real estate headshots get used
- Agent profile pages and brokerage "Find an agent" directories
- Listing flyers, property brochures and open-house signage
- Postcards, door-hangers and direct-mail campaigns
- Social media profiles, reels and video thumbnails
- Offering memoranda, tenant-rep proposals and investor decks (CRE)
- Email signatures and listing-syndication profiles
- Recruiting presentations aimed at agents considering a move
- Press mentions, award submissions and local-business directories
How does a headshot day work at a brokerage?
Kemp Photography sets up a portable studio in a conference room or training space in about 45 to 60 minutes, then photographs each agent in 2 to 3 minutes. Pick a day when agents are already together. People preview, choose a favorite and receive retouched finals, typically in 1 to 2 weeks.
Real estate offices run differently from most, and the plan should reflect it:
- Piggyback on a gathering. Agents are rarely in the office at the same time. Attach the day to a sales meeting, a licensing class or a team kickoff.
- Showings and open houses. Weekends and evenings are busy. Weekdays tend to be easier, and we will confirm availability when you request a quote.
- Split sessions. If it is impossible to gather everyone, a Half Day on two separate dates can work better than one packed Full Day.
- Support staff too. Transaction coordinators, marketing staff and office managers deserve a place on the team page.
- Multiple offices. A brokerage with branches can be quoted as a series, with identical setup at each location.
Agents arrive, look at the preview and choose in a minute or two. Marketing gets a roster page with every selection.
What style of headshot works for real estate?
Approachable and local, with a little more personality than a law firm. Buyers and sellers are choosing a partner for a big life event. A confident, easy smile does the work.
- Background. A soft neutral for the main roster is safest. If your brand calls for a color, raise it when you request your quote.
- Wardrobe. Business or smart casual. Solid colors, avoiding thin stripes. Your agents will wear the same shirt on a thousand signs, so choose something they like seeing.
- Expression. Warm and direct. Eye contact with the lens is the single most useful thing in this industry.
- Framing. Leave margin around the face, since the same image gets cropped to circles, squares and tall postcards.
- Branded elements. If your brokerage requires a logo or color on the shot, plan it ahead of time so every agent matches.
What does a real estate headshot day cost?
You pay one flat day rate, not a fee per agent. Half Day is $3,600 for roughly 50 to 60 agents and staff. A Full Day, from $4,850, fits roughly 150 to 250. Large brokerages and multi-office firms are quoted. Getting our crew to your door costs you nothing extra.
| Brokerage size | Likely fit | Rate | Illustrative math |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boutique or team, up to ~60 | Half Day | $3,600 | Rate divided by headcount |
| Large office, ~150–250 | Full Day | From $4,850 | $4,850 ÷ 150 ≈ $32 per person (illustrative) |
| Multi-office brokerage or CRE firm | Multi-set | Quoted | Extra sets for larger groups |
Real estate headshot FAQ
Do independent agents all need to be present for a brokerage day? They need to be there during the window you choose. Most brokerages pick an office day, a sales meeting or a training event when agents are already together, then set time slots so no one waits long.
Can the same photos be used on listings and yard signs? Yes, with caution. Finals are retouched portraits meant for web and print use. Check your brokerage's brand guidelines for sign layouts and sizing, and ask us about file needs when you request a quote.
Can commercial real estate teams, not just agents, be photographed? Yes. Brokers, analysts, property managers, asset managers and support staff can all be included, so the team page shows the full operation.
What if our brokerage has several offices? Multi-office projects are quoted. We keep lighting and background identical and, where possible, send the same lead photographer so agents in different offices appear as one brand.
How much space does a brokerage need? A room of about 10 by 20 feet with an outlet. A conference room, a training room or a vacant suite works well. We bring everything else.
