No. Please note that we photograph properties "As Is."

Please be sure to allow adequate time for any staging or landscaping services to be completed prior to the appointment.

No. Please note that our service applies to the subject property only and does not include nearby amenities and other offsite locations. Our service does include common area amenities at HOA and PUD complexes like pools, gyms, clubhouses, etc., subject to access provided by the client.

Your photos will be delivered into your account the day following your appointment, guaranteed by 12pm Pacific Time. Our Production team will review and approve your photos for delivery and send you an email notification when your photos are ready. The same timing applies to all other media including videos, Matterport 3D tours, floor plans, etc.

When media is delivered, f8 grants to you a non-exclusive, royalty-free license for use of the images, video and other media created for you. You are free to use this media to carry out normal business tasks associated with offering real estate properties to the public for sale or lease. This includes uploading the photos to your MLS, uploading videos to YouTube, printing brochures, creating social media postings, etc. This pre-approval to use the content in an unfettered manner also makes it unnecessary for f8 to complete photography authorization forms required by some MLS organizations. f8 retains a limited license to use the images and media it captures for its own marketing purposes.

If a refund is necessary, it will be processed by Accounting within two business days.

Photos can typically be found in a Zip File on your computer in places like "Downloads" or "Desktop." Please note that f8 cannot alter this destination as it a setting in your browser.

Zip files are used to combine multiple files into one file for download purposes. In this case, the Zip file acts like a folder that contains your individual photo files. Locate the Zip file on your computer’s hard drive. Note that you should not need a separate Zip software program like WinZip to access the photos. Mac Users If you are using a Mac, use Finder to locate the Zip file. Double click the Zip file to open the folder and access the photos. PC Users If you are using a PC, use File Explorer to locate the Zip file. Right click on the Zip file and choose Extract All. The image files should be saved in the same location as the Zip file in both types of machines.

Download the photos from the f8 System to your hard drive. Once you have the photos, login to the MLS and upload your photos according to the instructions provided by your MLS.

When your photo are approved for delivery, f8 sends you a Media Ready Notification that includes a photo download link. Simply forward this email to provide the recipient with this download link. When the recipient clicks the link, they can download the photos without having to login to the f8 system. This link is also available in the system in the Media and Marketing area in the Social + Links tab.

Most MLS systems allow you to post both a Branded and Unbranded Virtual Tour. f8 includes two different websites with every photography order: Branded Website and Unbranded Website. In the Manage page for your listing, copy the links from the Social + Links tab and paste them into the appropriate field in the Virtual Tour links in the MLS.

We provide you with two links for your Property Website: Branded Website and Unbranded Website. Both terms originated from the MLS practice of sharing listings with real estate portals and other brokerage firms. In order to share your listing with these entities, the MLS requires that you provide a website without your contact information. This is known as “Unbranded.” Conversely, the Branded Website link can be used on sites that allow your contact information to be displayed.
