Helpful Video Andrei ! I'm barely starting up my real estate business and was wondering if i should get a LLC through legalzoom or just wait a little longer. I'm worried about the whole tax situation but really am pushing it to become full time

Hey man! That’s what I did and it’s been pretty smooth. Def recommend for an easy process to setup your LLC. But if it’s just you for the most part, don’t worry about that right now. Last year I just reported it all as contract work and went fine. But save for taxes! Definitely couldn’t hurt to chat with a tax expert though. Thanks for watching!

Hello, Andrei. I really like your videos. The knowledge that you share is of great value and I really like your approach to video management, thank you. I recently started photographing real estate in the CIS, people here are not used to paying a lot for advertising real estate, ordering a photographer and taking professional photos that will help with the sale. Please advise me how to find an approach to people, is it worth fulfilling orders cheaply so as not to sit without work and develop my connections with people, or is it better for me not to spread to everyone and expect a client who understands the cost of work and the importance of photos/video for the sale of an real estate? Thank you again, good luck in your development!

Hey! Thanks for the feedback. I’m sure your market is totally different from mine, so you might have to do different methods. I’d say to still accept any work you can to just start building connections and showing the work you can do. Also see what other people on the area might be charging for similar services to get an idea. Eventually you can start raising your prices and the clients that truly care about your work will stay. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the tips! Can you talk about the systems that you're using to run your RE media business? I haven't seen a comprehensive video about this on YT just yet. In this video you mentioned CRM and delivery system but it would be really nice to have it explained in detail how you integrate all of it.

Hey man! For sure, that's a great video idea. I'm probably going to be showcasing a new company that I've been working with that is specifically for real estate photographers. Most of this year though, I've been using HDphotoHub! Pretty good for photo delivery + payment wall, and other perks!

@@AndreiRestrepo I checked out the photo up website. This is a huge help. I'm starting out in Real Estate Photography myself, I'm currently working as a contractor for a company known as HomeJab. The good thing is they don't make sign a non compete contract and you can still work on your personal business. I started out last year doing model homes, I found this to be a great way to practice and build a portfolio which is why HomeJab hired me. Thank you again man.

Great Info! sounds like you found success and could make a living only about 6 months in? if your already outsourcing. how where you able to get soo many clients so fast lol theirs allot of competition in my country. Did you start learning videography also 1 year ago or did you have a background/education in it? it does seem like you also you have a big network with your social media which may help allot. Did you do allot of free work for agents

Hey Mat! Even though I didn’t go on my own until just last year, I have been in the real estate space for about 5+ years now. Whether I was working for a real estate team or a real estate photo company, slowly building up connections which helped out a lot! I’ve been doing video now for about that long as well. And while real estate was my main source of income, I was still doing other types of photography and video like weddings, portraits, other client work that helped as well when I first went off on my own.

Awesome content! Can you do a video where you more specifically get into pricing and how you pay your photographer? Are they a full-time employee? Or do you just hire them on a project by project basis? I've outsourced editing now and again but I'm wondering what's more cost-effective as well as tax purposes. Should I have my editor fill a w-2? Thanks!!
