Job description

Real Estate Photographer | Las Vegas, NV | No Editing & No Lead Gen


Hometrack Real Estate Marketing is looking for a talented Real Estate Photographer to join our growing team in Houston. If you love the craft of architectural photography but hate the "business" side of it—the cold calling, the scheduling, and the endless hours of post-processing—this is the role for you.  


At Hometrack, we handle the administrative heavy lifting so you can focus on capturing stunning visual stories.  ---


Why Photographers Choose Hometrack:

  • Focus on Your Craft: Our internal editing team handles all post-production.
  • Zero Sales Required: Our dedicated admin team fills your calendar; you just show up and shoot.
  • Tech-Forward Training: We provide ongoing education in Matterport 3D, Drone Photography and Videography, and Architectural Styling.
  • Reliable Consistency: Move away from the "feast or famine" freelance cycle with reliable, local assignments.


The Role:

We are seeking an on-call, part-time professional to cover the Las Vegas Valley. As an innovator in real estate marketing, we require our photographers to be versatile, learning an array of digital services to keep our team at the forefront of the industry. 


Key Responsibilities:

  • Capture high-quality residential and commercial interior/exterior images.
  • Execute additional services including 2D Floor Plans, Matterport tours, and Drone/Aerial imagery (if applicable)
  • Maintain a professional, punctual, and friendly presence on-site.
  • Upload raw files by 10:00 PM EST on the day of the shoot.  


Technical Requirements:

  • Experience: with professional Real Estate or Architectural Photography
  • Gear: Full-frame DSLR or Mirrorless camera with a wide-angle lens (16mm–17mm equivalent) and a sturdy tripod. (Canon/Nikon preferred).
  • Mobility: Reliable transportation and a smartphone.
  • Soft Skills: An impeccable eye for detail, strong communication, and a "customer-first" attitude.


Favorable Skills:

  • FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate (Drone Certified).
  • Experience with Matterport or similar 360° technology.
  • Professional Videography skills.
  • Advanced shooting techniques (HDR, Flambient, etc.). 


Come join our growing team at Hometrack Real Estate Marketing!
