Several real estate photography companies have formed what they say is the first national association to represent the industry.
The Association of Real Estate Photographers has applied for 501(c)6 status with the Internal Revenue Service, according to an April 24 statement by the group. Membership is open to real estate photographers, real estate photography companies and industry affiliates.
"Real estate photographers are important partners providing many marketing services that increases a property' total sale price and decreases the number of days on market," Paul Rodman, executive director and founding board member, said in a statement. "Their creative work is remarkably valuable and should be protected. Working together, we can continue to help home buyers get a complete view of properties and avoid driving all over town while sellers get better informed shoppers who are more likely to buy."
The association's founding members include real estate photography companies VHT, Planomatic, FloorPlans Online, Vizzi Media, Collabora (TourFactory), Virtuance, IMOTO Photo, and HouseLens. Together the companies represent about 2,000 professional photographers who are either employees or licensed subcontractors.
The group's website is arephotographers.org.
