Hamilton Real Estate Photography: Pricing, Travel Fees, and What Agents Actually Book
Elijah Allison · · 2 min read
Hamilton is our busiest city outside the Niagara Region. We've done more than 100 shoots there this year, from Hamilton Mountain and the downtown core to Stoney Creek, Ancaster, Dundas, Waterdown and Binbrook. That's more than St. Catharines, which says a lot about where the market is moving.
So here's the straight answer to the three questions Hamilton agents ask us most: what it costs, whether there's a travel fee, and what other agents in the city are booking.
What Hamilton agents book
Looking at our Hamilton orders this year, the most popular booking by a wide margin is the PRO Package: photos, a video, aerial drone, and a measured floor plan in one visit. The next most popular is the Agent Spotlight Video, where you get on camera and walk buyers through the home yourself.
That second one surprised us at first. But it makes sense. Hamilton is a competitive market with a lot of agents, and putting your face on every listing is the cheapest way to build a name that sellers remember.
After those two, agents book straight photography and walkthrough videography, and a handful add virtual twilight or extra aerials for homes with a view of the escarpment or the lake.
Pricing
Our real estate photography starts at $150 for homes under 1,000 sq ft. The Pro Package starts at $525, and the Full Package, with a full walkthrough and an iGuide 3D tour, starts at $705. Bigger homes are priced by square footage, and the booking form shows your exact price before you confirm anything.
Every package includes a branded and an unbranded property website, and every photo is edited and colour-corrected at no extra charge.
Is there a travel fee to Hamilton?
Yes, and it's small. Travel is free for the first 50 km of driving from our home base in Fonthill, then it's $1.60 per km after that. For most Hamilton addresses that works out to about $40. Stoney Creek is a little less, and Ancaster and Dundas are a little more, about $60 to $70.
You'll never be surprised by it. Put the address into the booking form and the exact fee shows up right away. You can also see the whole map on our Service Areas page.
Turnaround
Photos and floor plans land the next business day. Video takes 24 to 48 hours. In a market like Hamilton, where a listing that sits for a weekend loses momentum, that's the part agents tell us matters most.
