First time I used this service for 1226 44th Ave listing and I found that they're really professional & great at their work. Alicia who helped me via email & phone, Jake who came out to take photos and floor plan, both were really helpful & professional. And the rest of their communication team were also superb. Most of all, the end product was very satisfactory. It's worth your money for sure. read more

Super easy to schedule with plenty of availability. The photos turned out fantastic, far better than anything we could have done ourselves. The photographer really knew how to capture the flow of the space and highlight the character and essence of our condo. They also gave helpful tips before and during the shoot that made the whole process efficient and stress-free. Incredible value for the quality and service. Highly recommend! read more

I've been working with Open Homes Photography for well over 10 years. Their photographers are excellent, and the finished photos arrive in your inbox by 9:00am the next day! I added a video with my last order, and I love how it came out. They are incredibly responsive when I have questions or requests, and respond to my emails quickly. I always get their website for my listings, which costs more than other options I have, but is worth every penny. I feel confident that my marketing is the best that can be done when I work with Open Homes Photography. read more

My husband and I just finished renovating a beach house. The company that will manage it had their photographer take photos of it for marketing purposes. They were not very good. The color was off and the photos did not capture the architectural details that we love. I immediately contacted Open Homes Photography which I normally hire for photographing my listings. I specifically requested Jake because he has shot great photos for me in the past. We couldn't be more thrilled with the photos. Jake did an awesome job capturing the architectural details of the home and the beautiful surroundings. We were very impressed. Jake clearly has a remarkable artistic ability that came through in every shot. Now we are relieved since we will have great photos to market the property. read more

We had a great experience with Open Homes Photography! Shawn arrived a little early & well prepared. We just left him to do his thing & couldn't be more pleased! His attention to detail & capturing the specialness of our home were excellent! The photos definitely contributed to us receiving 12 offers & well above asking. If you are questioning if staging & professional photos are worth it, DON'T. A very worth while investment! Here's the website they built for us: www.1575osloct.com read more

Great service and quality. When photos and floorplans require last minute edits and time is of the essence, the turnaround time is extremely important. For example the correct labeling of all the rooms on a multi-level floorplan is not an easy thing to get right the first time so revisions are nearly always necessary but the team at OHP is very responsive. Ditto on dropping in extra neighborhood photos, receiving add'l photos direct from broker, and making sure everything formats correctly. The photographers are all very good, and take instruction gladly whether you are seeking to highlight details or just have a more neutral point of view. Usually the same photographer is able to do photos, a matterport visual scan and aerial pic / video all in one visit so it's quite efficient. Have used for years and will continue. read more

Always excellent photography and photographs. The photographers are truly real estate specific photographers and know what to shoot, low which angles are best and send photos with corrected the lighting perfectly! Website is user friendly, sorting photos and paginating them is very easy. Website support staff is very attentive and consistent throughout the years. Carry on OPH, you are the best! You are a 10+ Special shout out to Wes, he just an awesome artist/photographer! read more

Open Homes Photography always goes above and beyond to deliver outstanding professional photos, website and all related services! Their photographers have a great eye for catching the best shots from the right angles and with the perfect lighting. All of the staff and photographers are excellent, and extra kudos to Jaycob, who always creates the most beautiful photos and is an absolute pleasure to work with! read more

I've been using Open Homes Photography for years and they're consistently easy to work with, fast to schedule and create fantastic marketing material (photos, video, 3D virtual tours, floorplans) for our real estate listings. They help us present the properties in the best light to achieve the best outcome for our sellers. Most recently, Liviu Vicol, one of their all star videographers shot and produced THE MOST AMAZING video - the seller had tears of joy after watching his work. Check it out - https://vimeo.com/539485854 Thank you again for your professional services! Tim Fong - Compass read more

I've been working with OHP for 10+ years. They are the best in the business! Very responsive, easy online scheduling and fantastic end results with photos. I also highly recommend for virtual staging of photos (attached are two v-staged photos for a rental property). read more

I have to say it was a pleasure working with Open Homes from start to finish. As a Realtor, I have used a lot of different photographers in the past. Some cheap and some more expensive. With Open Homes you absolutely get what you pay for. They are not the cheapest show on the road but the quality from the customer service to the attentiveness of the photographers to show up on time is impeccable. I am very impressed with the photos, 3D your, and most impressed with the video tour. I would highly recommend Open Homes to any individual or professional looking for real estate photography. Thanks guys. read more

Open Homes has something for everyone - I have ordered suites of services as well as a la carte videography, excellent every time. The website services is very easy to get your listing going with professional results and perfect for hands-off agents needing quality work. The a la carte ordering is great for specialized service providers or agents who may do certain things in-house or like a greater level of control, or integrate photo and video in their own portfolio. In either case, great service, you won't be disappointed. read more

I've been working with Open Homes Photography exclusively for well over 10 years for all of my real estate listings. Why? All of their photographers are great. They are easy to book for the date and time you need. The property website you can purchase from them is great. They also do twilight shots, floors plans, and whatever else you need. Their final product, photos and website, is the best. Even more, their support is excellent! read more

Excellent service with tech support and a very user-friendly website. The photographers are pros and know how to get the right angles, accents, lighting, and feel. The full package is the only way to go. read more

I paid $850 for photos that I could have shot better myself as an amateur. The website is a total disgrace. Anytime you want to add a photo or deleter a photo you have to e mail them to do it. And no response on the weekends. You have to wait til Monday to have your changes made, which was too late by Monday for what I needed done. Photos were sub par, for instance, the photographer took photos of the bed with a messy cover and should have asked the owner who was present to straighten it. It looks terrible. The best view shots out the bedroom window revealed nothing of the ocean views. The whole process was awkward, messy, expensive and very disappointing! Good luck navigating the dashboard. Definitely difficult and non intuitive! read more

Without a doubt, the photos and website that OHP created to help sell our fixer upper beach house was the best decision we made. The photographers are incredibly talented, highlighting the best parts of the house and the aerial views were the icing on the cake. Use OHP to sell your property...it will pay huge dividends! read more

Without question, my business would be nowhere near as successful nor would my listing clients be as happy were it not for the exquisite imagery generated by Open Homes Photography, specifically Kodiak. Rare is it to find such consistent quality and kindness in a vendor, it's the reason we continue to work exclusively with OHP, and Kodiak in particular, for all of our listings. Many thanks OHP! read more

I just reviewed the photos and drone video and aerial shots and I could not be more pleased! The turn around time was amazing and our photographer, Wes, went above and beyond to get great pictures. We had some weather challenges and he worked around it, timing wise, so we got great shots. I am really impressed with his skills and with the over-all quality of the shots and the finishing work that was done them. read more

We are very disappointed with the service from this company. We ordered a floorplan for one of our current listings, they sent it to us bland in color and without measurements. We were shocked as the whole purpose of a floor plan is to inform potential buyers the sizes and layout of each room. We contacted them and they informed us it would be another $50 for measurements. On their website it states that they " Provide detailed floor plans to allow buyers to revisit the home and understand the dimensions of the space. " No where does it say that they will hold the dimension until you give them more money. Seems like a scam to me. The only reason we booked them is because we were in a time crunch, and they had an opening. Their photographs are sub-par at best and about $200 more than their competitors. I guess we know why they had an availability! read more

Just had my second really great experience with this company. The quality of their photography is excellent AND their fast turn-around and easy to use website for ordering are all just excellent. I will only use this company for real estate photography, printed marketing materials and property websites going forward. read more

The photos are always fantastic and the turnaround time is amazing. Even the evening photos show up in my email early the next morning. I have used OHP for years, and they have never failed me. Sean, Chris, Wes and the rest of the photographers are excellent. They also go out of their way to make sure the shots are perfect. read more

We list and sell 20 to 30 homes every year and Open Homes Photography is our number one choice for quality. The photographers and videographers really have the talent to make our properties look their best. We've tried other companies, but no one goes the extra mile like OHP. More importantly, OHP is simply more skilled, they try harder which makes our properties look better. Whether it's the little camera moves or capturing the fine details, OHP gets it. read more

After over five years of business with them they did a horrible job on a property that I spent $2200 on ONE property on the same day as canceling with a $350 fee because a late carpet cleaner was at a home the wrong time (COVID related but absolutely not accommodating). Despite an estimated $2500 spend in one DAY, absolutely unapologetic. After my original review, the owner contacted me and was a bit intimidating about my having left a review. I edited out a portion of it but modified it to include this fact. ADDITIONAL inquires in local "Realtor only" boards found out that I'm not the only one with the opinion of slipping service. The products purchased on the $2200 package were absolutely sub-par and thus is NOT the "Nordstrom of photography " (despite the "Nordstrom" prices). Note, I was a loyal customer of this company for I believe six years. I believe his primary complaint against me is I was a b*tch in response. Which I absolutely was - to the price tag of that amount of money in one day, I am the customer. The money came out of my pocket in exchange for services. Edited 12/17/20 after multiple suggestions from the owner that I do so. read more

I have worked with Open Homes Photography several times now and have always had a great experience. Easy to schedule, timely delivery of photos and all their photographers have been great to work with. Definitely recommend their services! read more

John and his team at Open Homes Photography are clearly the go-to photo and website provider for anyone selling a home in San Francisco. My realtor and I have used them on 3 homes in San Francisco over the past 5 years and their turnaround was fast, photos all represented the house nicely, and their off-the-shelf site designs are attractive, interactive, and have easy UI's. Looking at how real estate is marketed elsewhere in the country, there is simply no comparison - OHP's sites offer a tremendous amount of style for very little money...and they can get your site up nearly overnight. The photos aren't Architectural Digest material, but value for money is extraordinary and they look great. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. read more

Exceptional service, high quality photos, and professional marketing websites! The photographers were easy to work with and had flexible schedules. They were also very skilled at capturing long-distance view shots at twilight, which is very difficult to do. I also went for the "complete package" on my most recent listing and got a property website and print brochures, which looked elegant and professional. My clients were thrilled with the results too! I highly recommend! read more

Fantastic service, stellar quality!!! Open homes is amazing, from start to finish-exceptional communication, lightning fast scheduling, all the staff and photographers are complete pros, incredible turn-around time, and the end product is superb. I used to struggle with inconsistent quality in real estate photography, often having to go back and re-shoot a property myself to get the quality imagery I sought. It is such a relief to work with Open Homes- they get it right, exceed expectations on all fronts, and from a selfish standpoint, make realtors look GOOD! I am so grateful for this firm, takes all the anxiety and guesswork out of property presentations. In an era where web presentation is everything in real estate marketing, as a realtor, I can't afford NOT to use Open Homes. Open Homes is, hands down, the best out there! read more

Denis did a fantastic job photographing and videoing our home! He found all of the details in our home and highlighted them! We LOVE the photos and video!! read more

I love this company. Of all the money spent on getting my house ready to show, the investment in OHP was the clearest win. On the phone, they were extremely helpful and were able to come on short notice. Wes was very efficient and easy to work with but I really didn't need to do anything other than get out of his way. The drone video was unbelievable - he sent it out over the Bay and the wetlands to capture birds flying over the water. Everyone who sees it loves it. I got my photos the next day and built the website in less than 2 hours. It is very intuitive. The images were amazing and they looked great in the print piece as well. The few times I needed a question answered, the staff was very responsive - even though I was pretty stressed trying to get ready to list. I have no relationship to anyone in this company...I just think good service and nice people should be acknowledged. read more

I have used John Hayes's team at Open Homes Photography for many years now. He and his team are highly professional and skilled at taking beautiful, high resolution photos, making property websites that are easy to update, video tours, aerial photos, etc... He is extremely professional and offers a highly polished product that makes the homes that I sell really pop. My clients are impressed with his work. - Angelo read more

OHP is just about as good as it can get for promoting a property for sale. The quality of the photographers is truly remarkable, (not justa guy who bought a camera or happened to take a class @ a JC) and their images of a property match their schooled training AND sensibility. For anyone (hmmm, maybe a 1* reviewer?) to suggest that anyone with a camera can perform the act of capturing great images, Ima guessing that person also walks through a major museum shouting " I can do that too ! ", OR with their "smart" phone in hand they believe can capture images that deserve to be included in a coffee table book. While a picture is worth a 1,000 words, it takes a little more than that to promote a property.John's team has the complete package for promoting properties. World class images, website creation & hosting, print, email - they are the BEST, to top the cake off, John is a nice guy! read more

Thanks John!! Open Homes Photography always makes us look good!! As the owner of FRESH Home Staging here in San Francisco, we get calls from Yelper's all the time and wanted to send some props out to Open Homes Photography. They just shot another of our stagings the other day and it reminded me that every part of the sales process matters and it's good to find great vendors you can count on. Every job we have done that Open Homes have photographed - the photos and websites are always amazing. We often send clients to view the listing sites because the quality and care really shows. We have run into their photographers a few times when we are leaving the properties and they are always on-time and courteous. They do beautiful and clean websites which set the bar high for online homes for sale listings. Their prices are listed online and they are easy to contact. read more

Wes of Open Homes Photography was referred to me by a real estate agent to shoot some photos for a home on the market. Although ther real estate lady did say that generally all the photographers there are good, I told the representative/coordinator that I would like to choose Wes to be my photographer after reviewing Wes' portfolio, so I paid the fee and specifically chose a time that Wes was available. Two days later, I went to job site and called the company on my way there. The rep told me that Wes was not available because he would be at another site in Lafayette for the rest of the day. This rep never informed me earlier and he did not explain why Wes chose to do another job. After several minutes on the phone with him, he simply hung up on me (he did send me an email instead saying that he was sorry but the photographer was never guaranteed as indicated in the contract.) I waited at the job site and an hour passed after the appointment time, I called the company and found out the replacement photographer had a car problem and was waiting for the tow truck. In the end, the photographer was late for almost two hours but he finally got the job done. My complaint was not about the quality of the photographs. I have an issue with their "customer service". The rep knew that I reviewed other photographers' work and wanted to stick with Wes. I even changed my appointment time in order to accommodate to Wes' time. I was also surprised and troubled by having the rep hang up on me. Lastly, I also think they should contact the client when there is a delay in the meeting. read more

Amateur. Take my advice and save yourself some money by buying yourself a wide-angle lens, a tripod, and using SquareSpace. At least you'd have something to show for it, aside from totally distorted photos and awful service... read more
