What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, editing photos for our 40 weekly MLS listings—handling color corrections and virtual enhancements—took my team two full days. Now, the AI automates 80% of it, cutting turnaround from 48 hours to under 6 for even high-end luxury properties. It's like adding an extra photographer without the $50K annual payroll hit."
Sarah Jenkins
Lead Real Estate Photographer, Metro Realty Group, serving the San Francisco Bay Area
"We were drowning in scheduling conflicts for open house drone shoots and interior sessions tied to agent deadlines. Their custom AI syncs everything with our CRM like ShowingTime, saving us 15 hours a week. Last quarter, we photographed 20% more multi-family properties without adding staff—absolute game-changer for our scaling brokerage in Austin."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, Horizon Properties Brokerage, Austin TX
"Virtual staging used to be hit-or-miss and time-intensive for our urban rental portfolio, often requiring 5+ revisions per unit. AIQ's workflow delivers consistent, photorealistic outputs; approvals are instant now via integrated client portals. We've reduced revisions by half, and our listings in downtown high-rises sell 10 days faster on average, per our Zillow analytics."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this AI handle different property types, like commercial vs. residential?
Our custom workflows are tailored from the start. For residential, the AI prioritizes warm lighting and staging for family appeal; for commercial, it focuses on scale and professional angles. We map your portfolio during discovery, training the system on your past shoots. This ensures outputs match market expectations—think crisp boardroom shots for offices or cozy kitchens for homes. Benchmarks show 25% higher client satisfaction. Integration with your tools like Photoshop plugins keeps it seamless, saving 10-15 hours weekly on adjustments.
What if I already use tools like Lightroom or Matterport?
We don't replace your favorites; we enhance them. Our AI plugs directly into Lightroom via APIs for automated edits and Matterport for 3D tour syncing. No data export hassles. For a mid-sized agency, this cut manual transfers by 70%, per our deployments. We build two-way integrations, so changes in one tool update everywhere instantly. It's enterprise-grade, handling high-volume shoots without downtime, and fully owned by you—no added subscriptions.
How long until I see time savings in my photography workflow?
Most clients notice gains within the first week of deployment. We prioritize quick wins like auto-editing, which shaves hours off post-shoot processing. Full ROI hits in 4-6 weeks as scheduling and approvals automate. One photographer saved 18 hours weekly on a 30-property load. Our process includes hands-on training, so your team adapts fast. Long-term, it's a 3x efficiency boost, backed by industry stats from Inman reports on real estate tech adoption.
Is the AI secure for handling sensitive property photos?
Security is non-negotiable in real estate. We use encrypted storage and compliance with standards like GDPR and MLS data rules. Photos are processed in isolated environments, with access logs for audits. Unlike cloud assemblers, our on-prem options keep data in-house. We've secured systems for agencies dealing with high-value listings, preventing breaches that could delay sales. Features include watermarking and role-based access, ensuring only approved eyes see assets.
Can this scale if my photography business grows rapidly?
Absolutely—scalability is core to our builds. Starting with 20 shoots a month? We design for 200 without rework. AI models learn from your data, improving accuracy over time. For expanding teams, we add multi-user dashboards and API hooks for new tools. A client doubled their volume post-launch with zero added time per shoot. It's production-ready, like our in-house platforms handling thousands of tasks daily, future-proofing your ops amid market surges.
What's the cost compared to hiring more staff or using subscriptions?
Our custom solutions pay for themselves fast. Initial build for photography automation runs $15K-$30K, depending on complexity, with no ongoing fees since you own it. Compare to $5K/month in subscriptions or $60K/year per extra editor—ROI in months. Efficiency gains compound: 40% cost reduction per NAR benchmarks. We provide a detailed projection during consultation, tailored to your shoot volume and savings targets.
