Real estate photography software: bookings & delivery

Real estate photographers: booked by agents, delivered same day. Shoot more, chase less.

Shoots get booked by text at 9pm, lockbox codes sit in a WhatsApp thread, photos go out on transfer links that expire and agencies pay whenever settlement happens. We build booking, scheduling, delivery and billing systems for real estate photographers that agents actually like using. Then we host them and look after them.

Looking for real estate photography booking software that agents will actually use?

A real estate photography business runs on speed. Agents want the shoot booked tomorrow, the photos by lunch the day after and the floor plan before the listing goes live on realestate.com.au. In between you're juggling access codes, vendors who forgot you're coming, an editor overseas, a twilight shoot that depends on the weather and an agency that pays at 60 days. Most of it lives in texts, emails, a calendar and a spreadsheet.

Wollopit builds custom real estate photography software around how you actually work. Agents book from a portal with your packages and their agency pricing. Jobs land on a run sheet sorted by suburb. Edited photos, floor plans and video drop into one branded gallery in the right sizes. Invoices go to the right agent, agency or vendor and sync to Xero. We connect the tools you already like, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers.

01The problems

What we hear from real estate photographers

Does your real estate photography business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

Most property photographers we talk to are brilliant behind the camera and buried in admin the second they get back in the car. It holds together until the spring listing rush.

  • The problemBookings by text at 9pmAgents text 'can you do 14 Smith St Thursday?' and the address, package and access details end up spread across five threads.
    How we fix itAn agent booking portal with your live availability, address lookup, packages and access notes captured in one go.
  • The problemNobody knows what's in each packageAgents ask what's included every time, then forget they wanted drone shots until you're packing up.
    How we fix itClear packages with add-ons for drone, floor plans, video and twilight shown at booking, with each agency's own pricing.
  • The problemAccess is a guessing gameLockbox codes buried in emails, tenants who weren't told and vendors still making the bed when you arrive.
    How we fix itAccess details stored on the job, plus automatic SMS to vendors and tenants with the time and a prep checklist.
  • The problemZigzagging all over townJobs booked in the order agents ask, so you drive the length of the coast three times in one day.
    How we fix itScheduling by area with travel time built in, so bookings cluster by suburb and the run sheet makes sense.
  • The problemTwilights and weather reshufflesRain rolls in, the twilight gets cancelled and you spend an hour ringing agents and vendors to move everything.
    How we fix itTwilight slots that follow sunset times, plus one-tap reschedules that notify the agent and vendor and offer new times.
  • The problemThe editing handoffRaws uploaded to an editor, then a mental note of what's back, what's late and what still needs a sky swap.
    How we fix itAn editing queue showing every job's status, whether it's in-house or sent out, with due times and late alerts.
  • The problemTransfer links that expireAgents lose the link, it expires before the campaign ends and the files are the wrong size for the portals.
    How we fix itBranded delivery galleries with web and print sizes, one-click downloads and a permanent library for every listing.
  • The problemFloor plans and video turn up separatelyThe photos land Tuesday, the floor plan Thursday and the video comes in a different link again.
    How we fix itEvery add-on tracked on the same job and delivered into the same gallery as it's ready, with the agent pinged each time.
  • The problemRevisions by text'Can you remove the wheelie bin from photo 12?' sent as a screenshot with no listing address.
    How we fix itRevision requests pinned to the exact photo in the gallery, sent to the editor and tracked until they're done.
  • The problemAgencies pay wheneverTen agents in one office, invoices to the wrong person and some jobs only get paid at settlement.
    How we fix itAgency accounts with monthly statements, invoices to agent, agency or vendor, Xero sync and payment reminders that send themselves.
  • The problemGrowing past one cameraA second shooter joins and suddenly you're forwarding jobs, addresses and shot lists by text every night.
    How we fix itJobs assigned to each shooter with their own run sheet, shot list and access notes on their phone.

03The systems

The big ones

Your whole photography business, on one system.

These are the systems property photographers ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly useful when they're joined up.

Agent booking portal

Agents book themselves. You stop answering texts.

Agents log in to a portal in your branding, pick a package and a time that actually suits your run and drop in the access details. Everything you need for the shoot lands on the job before you've finished your coffee.

  • Live availability by area
  • Address lookup and property details
  • Packages with drone, floor plan and video add-ons
  • Agency-specific price lists
  • Lockbox codes and access notes
  • Vendor and tenant contact details
  • Twilight slots tied to sunset times
  • Booking confirmations by email and SMS
  • Multiple agents per agency
  • One-click rebooks for relistings

Scheduling & run sheets

A day that runs in a line, not a zigzag.

Bookings cluster by suburb with travel time built in, so you're not crossing the coast three times before lunch. Your run sheet lives on your phone with addresses, access codes and shot lists for every stop.

  • Bookings grouped by area
  • Travel time between jobs
  • Daily run sheet on your phone
  • Shot lists and agent notes per job
  • Access codes on the job card
  • One-tap weather reschedules
  • Agent and vendor notified of changes
  • Jobs assigned to second shooters
  • Google Calendar sync
  • Running late SMS to the agent

Editing & delivery

Uploaded, edited, delivered. Without the transfer links.

Every job moves through an editing queue you can see at a glance, whether you edit yourself or send it out. Finished photos, floor plans and video drop into one branded gallery in the sizes agents need, then the agent gets a text.

  • Editing queue with due times
  • Outsourced editor uploads
  • Late job alerts
  • Branded galleries with your logo
  • Web and print sizes
  • One-click download all
  • Floor plans and video in the same gallery
  • 3D tour links embedded
  • Revision requests pinned to photos
  • Listing libraries that never expire

Agency billing

Invoices that land with the right person and get paid.

Every job knows who's paying, whether that's the agent, the agency or the vendor. Agencies get one tidy monthly statement, vendor-paid jobs get a payment link and Xero stays in sync without retyping a thing.

  • Agency accounts with multiple agents
  • Monthly statements
  • Invoice the agent, agency or vendor
  • Vendor-paid advertising payment links
  • Card payments by Stripe
  • Xero or MYOB sync
  • Automatic overdue reminders
  • Pay-before-download for private clients
  • Credit limits and account holds
  • Revenue per agency and package
04How it changes

A Friday listing rush, wolloped.

Here's how a busy Friday could change. Every photography business is different, so we map yours first.

  3. Drive across town and back between jobs
  4. Arrive to a tenant who wasn't told

  6. Chase last month's invoices on Sunday night

After

  1. Four bookings already in the portal with access notes
  2. Codes and shot lists sitting on your run sheet
  3. Jobs clustered by suburb with travel time built in
  4. Tenant confirmed by SMS yesterday
  5. Photos and floor plan delivered to one branded gallery

07How we work

The process

Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.

We get properly below the surface of your real estate photography business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.

  1. 01

    Think

    We ride along on a shoot day and sit with you in the edit, then work out where the hours actually go.

  2. 02

    Archi-tech

    We plan it before writing code: your packages, agencies, run sheets, editors, galleries, billing, hosting and cost.

  3. 03

    Build

    Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the agent booking portal first, so you get a win before the spring rush.

  4. 04

    Look after

    We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.

08Questions

FAQ

Things real estate photographers ask us.

Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.

Can agents download different sizes?

Yes. Galleries give web and print sizes so agents get what they need for realestate.com.au, Domain, brochures and signboards without asking you to resize.

Do agents have to create a login to book?

It's up to you. Agents can have a portal login with their history and pricing or book through a quick form. Most like the login once they see their past listings in one place.

Can it handle vendor-paid jobs?

Yes. Each job knows who's paying. Agency jobs go on the monthly statement and vendor-paid jobs get their own invoice and payment link.

Can floor plans and video go in the same gallery as the photos?

Yes. Add-ons are tracked on the job and drop into the same gallery when they're ready, with 3D tour links embedded too. The agent gets a heads up each time.

We already use Aryeo or Tonomo. Do we have to switch?

No. If your current platform is doing its job we build around it, adding the bits it doesn't do well. If it's holding you back, we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.

Can it work with our outsourced editors?

Yes. Editors can upload straight into the job and the queue shows what's back, what's late and what still needs revisions.

How much does a real estate photography system cost?

It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.

How long does it take?

Smaller jobs like a booking portal or delivery galleries can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.

Who looks after it once it's built?

We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.

We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?

Usually, yes. Most real estate photographers we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
