Can I request additional services?
Yes — add details in the special instructions when you book, or contact us. We will let you know what is possible and confirm any pricing before work is done.
Pricing
What size property is included in the listed price?
Listed prices — $149 for photography, $149 for a 3D virtual tour and $249 for the bundle — apply to properties up to 1,500 sq. ft. Homes from 1,501 to 3,000 sq. ft. are $199 for photography, $199 for a virtual tour and $349 for the bundle. Prices are in Canadian dollars and HST is added at checkout.
What happens if the property is larger than 1,500 sq. ft.?
Homes from 1,501 to 3,000 sq. ft. add $50 per service (photography $199, virtual tour $199, bundle $349), priced automatically when you order. For properties over 3,000 sq. ft. you can still order online — RealtyAid confirms a custom quote before the appointment, and you are not charged for the difference until you approve it.
How does the $100 first-order credit work?
New clients receive a $100 credit that is applied automatically to their first eligible order — no code is needed. The credit cannot reduce an order below $0, and HST is calculated on the amount after the credit. The credit is available once per account.
Appointments
How do I prepare a property for photography?
Tidy and declutter each room, open blinds, turn on all lights, clear kitchen and bathroom counters, secure pets, move vehicles from the driveway and make sure we can access every area. Our Property Preparation Guide has a complete checklist you can share with sellers, landlords and tenants.
Can homeowners or tenants be present?
Yes. Occupants are welcome to be home. We ask that they stay out of the rooms being photographed and let us know about any rooms that should not be photographed. You can add on-site contact details and notes when you book.
Can I reschedule an appointment?
Yes — request a new time from the appointment page in your portal or contact us directly. Our full rescheduling and cancellation policy will be published here once finalised.
Delivery
How will I receive the completed media?
Your finished photos and virtual-tour link are delivered to your RealtyAid portal. From there you can download MLS-resolution or high-resolution files individually or all at once, copy your tour link, and request a revision if something needs attention. You also receive a notification when media is ready.
Brokerages
Can a brokerage place multiple orders?
Yes. Brokerages and teams can create a shared account, invite agents, place orders on an agent’s behalf, view team orders and invoices, and use shared billing.
