Behind the Scenes: What Happens After We Leave Your Listing

Editing photos after shoot

You’ve booked the shoot, the home looked amazing, and we’ve wrapped up the photography. But what happens next?

Many agents — and especially their sellers — are curious about the process after the cameras are packed away.

At Collier Ingram Real Estate Media, the work doesn’t stop when we leave the property. In fact, that’s when some of the most important steps begin.

Step 1: Image Sorting

We carefully review every photo taken, choosing only the sharpest, best-composed shots. This ensures you receive a gallery that’s cohesive, professional, and impactful. Our photographers work closely with you to get the images and angles you need.

Step 2: Editing and Retouching

Editing is where good photos become great. Our editing team balance colors, adjust lighting, and correct perspectives so rooms appear natural and inviting. If needed, we’ll also touch up small distractions — like power cords or wall smudges — to create a polished final result. They even do sky-replacement to brighten up those shots taken on a cloudy day.

Step 3: Consistency Check

Consistency is key for your brand. Every photo set we deliver reflects a unified style, so your listings always look professional and aligned with the image you want to present.

Step 4: Delivery

Once editing is complete, we package your photos in multiple resolutions (MLS, print, and web-ready) and deliver them in a simple, easy-to-use format.

We promise NEXT DAY DELIVERY for all of our media products.

We know time is money in real estate. Every delivery comes with detailed instructions on how to download your media and all the ways you can use it in your marketing.

Why This Matters to You

Sharing this process with your sellers can help build trust. When they know the level of care that goes into each image, they understand why professional media is worth the investment — and why you’ve chosen to work with us.

Our behind-the-scenes work is about more than editing; it’s about helping you win listings, satisfy sellers, and stand out in a crowded market.
