To book an order, simply visit the link below and fill out a form to book a professional package or individual service:
https://portal.acreagency.com/book 
We will follow up with you same-day with a booking confirmation via text, phone, and/or email.
You are welcome to contact directly your account manager for booking a shoot, though we still require the form to make sure the details and information is correct for the booking to be created. If you aren't currently set up with an account manager, let us know and we'll connect you to yours.

Question 8

What is the cancellation or postponement policy?

Accepted Answer

We understand schedules can be hectic and weather can be unpredictable. We understand neither of us can control the weather, so we try our best to be as accommodating as possible if notice is given that we want to push out the shoot. If your staging or property is delayed, please give us notice well ahead of time.

We required minimum 24 hour notice to reschedule at no charge. We always try to accommodate - however, if our team is not notified and we show up and the house is not ready to shoot, we charge the 25% deposit as a cancellation or postponement fee.

You can find more info in our Terms of Service.

Question 9

Why your photos and videos?

Your photos are all taken by our in-house photography team whom are vetted and highly-trained to produce consistent results. We have a dedicated photo editing team whom will produce the highest-quality photos through a 15-point QA photo process. You will receive your beautifully, edited photos for you next-day by noon.
 
Your videos are all produced by our in-house videography team and drone pilots. This team is vetted and highly-trained to consistently produce the best video for your investment. We are always innovating on new ways of shooting and editing so your videos are fresh when shared online and posted on social media.

ACRE Agency videos produced for you will now appear on Zillow. Listings with video are given approximately a 2x boost on exposure in search results. Here's a quote from Zillow.

“Listings with video walkthroughs are given a boost in Zillow's search algorithm, resulting in more views and saves on average. Search order is largely based on personalization and user behavior, but the only way as an agent to influence your listing’s ranking is by adding a video. In addition, every time a video is uploaded to Zillow an email notification is sent to potentially hundreds of buyers – anyone with a saved search in that area. This email lets a Zillow user know that a video has been uploaded to a home in their area, and invites them to take a look. These benefits from Zillow add greater visibility to your listing and help you find more qualified buyers, as you’ll be talking with buyers who can watch a video walkthrough of the home before contacting you. Also, Millennial home buyers are coming to expect media options beyond just photos when they search for a home. In this year’s trends report, Zillow found that "Tech-savvy Millennial and Gen Z buyers may find greater value than older generations in using video/live virtual or 3D tours to help them make decisions. 45 percent of Gen Z and 41 percent of Millennial buyers find watching a recorded video of a home very or extremely important in helping them decide on their home" ( -2018 Zillow Trends Report)

Question 11

Why better photos?

Accepted Answer

Better photos will help you sell your listing for more. Photos are a reflectiion of you and your listing. How do you think poor quality photos reflect in the quality of your marketing, your listing, and your brand? Now, let's get you better photos :)

Question 12

Why better video?

Accepted Answer

Video is the most effective way to share your message and help your brand reach its potential. You can easily share video online through social media, email, text, ads, and reach thousands of people with your message with a click of a button.
 
Here are some significant video marketing statistics:

"Social video generates 1200% more shares than text and images combined."
 
"Content marketing rakes in conversion rates six times higher than other methods."
 
"The average user spends 88% more time on a website with video."

This particular below video was able to help the seller agent get two more seller listings in the neighborhood because it was such a unique piece of marketing.

We can help you create engaging, awe-inspiring content that converts your audience into true-fans and more business.

Question 13

Why 3D Matterport?

Accepted Answer

A major benefit of 3D Matterport in the Seattle area is to be able to show the home thoroughly to people out-of-town, out-of-state, and international buyers. The average 3D Matterport tour we produce gets 300+ impressions and 100-200 unique visitors within a month of publishing. Another benefit of 3D is to help you better qualify and disqualify buyers so you aren't wasting your time or theirs in travel. Instead, you can focus on helping each buyer find their ideal home even if it's not yours. And the last significant benefit for using 3D Matterport is to stand out with your marketing as an agent, be an agent who uses the latest marketing technologies and ultimately win more listings.
