What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, I was chasing agents for confirmations on every waterfront property shoot in Miami—it was exhausting and led to three missed closings last year. Now, the system books everything automatically via MLS sync, and I've cut no-shows by half. Last quarter alone, that meant 12 extra luxury listings photographed without overtime, adding $15K to my revenue."
Sarah Jenkins
Lead Real Estate Photographer, Coastal Realty Group, Miami FL
"We handle 50+ multi-family rentals a month in Chicago, and coordinating photographers was a nightmare with our old calendar clashing against Zillow uploads. Their custom setup integrated right into our MLS and property management software, saving my team about 10 hours a week on follow-ups. It's not flashy, but it works—our vacancy fill rates improved by 18% because listing visuals go up 48 hours faster."
Mike Rivera
Operations Manager, Urban Properties Inc., Chicago IL
"As a solo photographer for commercial spaces in Austin, I couldn't afford missed gigs due to weather delays on rooftop shots. This automation flags conflicts instantly and even suggests reshoots based on weather APIs integrated with local permitting systems. In the first two months, I landed three big office building contracts worth $8K that I would've lost to scheduling slips."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation handle urgent listing shoots for time-sensitive properties?
Our system prioritizes bookings based on listing urgency pulled from your MLS data. For instance, if a property is set to expire in 48 hours, the AI flags it for immediate scheduling, auto-suggesting available slots to agents and photographers. This includes buffer alerts for travel time between sites. In practice, clients see 80% of urgent shoots booked within hours, compared to days of manual chasing. We customize the logic to your workflow, whether you're focusing on residential flips or commercial leases, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks during peak seasons.
What integrations are included with popular real estate tools?
We build deep, two-way integrations with key platforms like CoreLogic MLS, ShowingTime, and CRMs such as Lone Wolf or Follow Up Boss. Your photography calendar syncs in real-time, pulling property addresses, agent contacts, and shoot requirements automatically. For example, when a new listing drops, it can trigger a booking request with pre-filled details. Unlike superficial connections, our custom APIs handle data conflicts proactively, maintaining accuracy even with high-volume updates. This setup has helped property managers reduce integration errors by 95%, saving hours on data reconciliation.
Can this system accommodate drone photography regulations and permits?
Absolutely. We incorporate rule-based AI that checks local FAA guidelines and property-specific restrictions before confirming bookings. For a rooftop shoot on a high-rise, the system cross-references permit statuses from your database or external APIs, auto-notifying if approvals are needed. Photographers get a pre-shoot checklist via mobile alerts. One client, specializing in urban rentals, avoided three permit violations in the first month, streamlining compliance and preventing costly delays. It's all tailored to your operations, scalable for solo ops or teams handling multiple drone-certified shoots daily.
How secure is the data for sensitive property photos and schedules?
Security is paramount in real estate, so we architect with enterprise-grade encryption and SOC 2 compliance from the ground up. Client data—like listing photos and agent itineraries—stays on your owned servers, not scattered across third-party clouds. Access is role-based: photographers see only their shoots, while managers get oversight dashboards. We've implemented audit logs for every booking change, which proved invaluable during a client's internal review, catching a minor sync issue before it impacted a luxury portfolio. This ownership model eliminates the risks of subscription-based tools that often expose data to breaches.
What's the typical timeline and cost for implementing this automation?
Implementation takes 4-6 weeks for most real estate photography setups, starting with a one-week discovery to map your workflows. Costs start at $15,000 for a core system, scaling based on custom features like advanced analytics or multi-team support—far below the $50,000+ annual drain from manual inefficiencies. ROI hits within 2-3 months; for example, a mid-sized firm recouped costs by photographing 20% more properties without added staff. We provide a detailed proposal post-consultation, including phased rollout to minimize disruption during listing season.
Does this work for freelance photographers versus full agencies?
Yes, our solutions scale seamlessly. For freelancers, we focus on lightweight integrations with personal calendars and basic CRM syncs, automating client confirmations to free up shooting time. Agencies get robust features like team dispatching and load balancing across photographers. A freelance client recently integrated this with their drone log app, booking 15% more gigs without admin overload. We assess your setup during discovery to build exactly what's needed—no bloat, just efficiency gains that match your volume, whether it's 10 properties a month or 100.
