Real Estate Photographer; Drone Pilot Norman & South OKC

Founded in 2015, Nested Tours is a real estate marketing platform built for the digital age, with a decade of history helping realtors across Oklahoma. We create stunning digital real estate experiences that help agents sell fast and list more - professional photography, video walkthroughs, drone photo and video, 3D Matterport and Zillow tours, virtual staging, and more.

We already shoot Norman, Moore and the south metro every week. What we don't have yet is a photographer who actually lives there. Right now those listings get covered by our OKC team driving south. We want to change that - which is why this role goes to someone based south of downtown OKC.

This is the whole point of the job: you live close to the work. Less windshield time, more shoots per day, and you become the local face for a growing part of our market.

• Shoot HDR Photo Tours, Drone Photography & Video, Video Walkthroughs, Zillow 3D Home Tours, Twilight Photography and Detail Photos for real estate clients
• Fly the drone yourself - most of our packages include aerial content, so this is a core part of the job, not an occasional extra
• Engage with clients professionally and deliver a great experience at every shoot
• Upload all media to our system by end of day - no editing required, our in-house team and editing partner handle all post-production
• Complete Nested Tours' training before taking solo shoots, and join a short monthly photographer training call

You're paid per shoot, based on which services the order includes and how large the property is. Most shoots bundle several services together, so earnings add up fast:

• Single-service shoots (photo tour, drone photos, twilight) start around $50
• Typical bundled shoot: $100-$250
• Large multi-service and luxury shoots: $400-$650+
• Add-ons like twilight photos, detail photos and video reels stack on top

The more available you are and the more services you're trained in, the more you'll earn.

Paid as a 1099 contractor through Gusto. Flexible schedule, no minimum hours.

• You must live south of downtown Oklahoma City. Norman, Moore, South OKC, Noble, Newcastle, Goldsby, Blanchard, Purcell, Lexington, Washington and the surrounding area all work. This is a hard requirement - the entire reason for the position is local coverage south of the metro.
• FAA Part 107 Commercial Drone License - required. We cannot consider applicants without an active Part 107 certificate.
• You own your own photography equipment (see the gear list below)
• Reliable vehicle, valid driver's license and current auto insurance
• Smartphone and high-speed internet at home
• Some photography experience - you know your camera. Real estate experience is a plus but not required; we train you on our style and workflow.
• Excellent customer service and communication skills - you're representing us in someone's home
• Able to pass a background check

• Professional camera capable of shooting 5-bracket RAW images
• Sturdy tripod
• Drone capable of 3- or 5-bracket RAW stills, Part 107 compliant (DJI or equivalent)
• Gimbal for phone, and for pro camera (strongly preferred)

• Local territory - the shoots are in your backyard, not two hours away
• Flexible schedule - accept the shoots that fit your week
• No editing required - you shoot and upload; we handle everything after that
  
  Real training - full onboarding, a style guide, shadow and supervised shoots, and monthly training. We've built photographers from scratch before.
• Room to grow - territories that reach consistent volume have historically moved toward larger, steadier arrangements. Get in early on a growing one.
• A company that is actually growing - we've expanded into Tulsa and Lawton in the past year and we're not slowing down
