Founder story

About Mario

My name is Mario.

I got into real estate in 2024 when I got my license and joined a brokerage. One thing I realized quickly is that real estate depends a lot on relationships and your circle of influence. Since I’m not originally from Colorado, my circle was very small.

That made it challenging.

At the same time, I saw that real estate photography was a good opportunity. I already liked photography as a hobby, so I decided to take it seriously and turn it into a business.

At the beginning, I made a lot of mistakes. But instead of ignoring them, I focused on learning from them.

I used to spend hours looking at other listings and photographers. I would analyze everything: angles I liked, angles I didn’t like, editing styles that worked, and ones that didn’t. Anything I liked, I started applying right away.

And I still do that today.

I feel like when you’ve been in a business for a while, it’s easy to repeat the same thing over and over. So I try to always improve something, even if it’s small. A new angle, a different way to shoot, or a better way to present a home.

That’s what keeps me motivated and keeps the work from feeling the same every time.

Our philosophy

Simple packages. Real value.

From the beginning, our goal has been to keep things easy and provide real value. We’ve seen that a lot of companies have long menus with too many options, and it gets confusing to know what to choose. That’s why we decided to keep it simple and offer three packages that cover pretty much everything most listings need.

Reliable

Agents need media they can count on. We keep the process clear, show up prepared, and stay available when something needs attention.

Simple

Three packages, clear choices, and fewer add-ons to think about. The goal is to make ordering feel easy, not like homework.

Value-focused

We care about what agents actually receive for what they pay: photos, media, and support that help a listing feel complete.

Why value matters

More clarity before you book.

To us, value is not just about price. For example, you might pay $250 for one of our packages, and at first it may look similar to others. But in many cases, other companies charge separately for things like interior photos, drone, floor plans, or twilight shots. Once you start adding everything, the total ends up being higher than our price.

Our goal is for agents to get more for what they are paying.

Often separated Example menu
  • Interior HDR photos$150
  • Drone photos$125
  • Floor plan$100
  • Dusk twilight cover$75
  • Agent-branded website$50
Total can climb quickly $500

Example only. Exact pricing depends on the provider and listing.

Bundled approach Ready2List
  • HDR photos
  • Drone photos

Built so agents do not have to piece everything together.

How we operate

Built to be efficient

We are a small business, but we are growing. We are always looking for ways to be more efficient without raising our prices.

To make that possible, we built an in-house system. We have dedicated editing for photos and video, fast delivery, and someone monitoring emails every day for requests, revisions, or questions.

Real estate media is not perfect every time. Sometimes HDR colors don’t come out the way they should, or something needs to be edited or adjusted. We make sure someone is there to help fix those things quickly.

Photo and video editing

Dedicated editing helps us keep the final media clean and consistent.

Fast delivery

We keep the workflow moving because agents are usually working on a tight timeline.

Daily email support

Requests, questions, and revisions are watched every day so things do not sit.

Revisions and adjustments

If something feels off, we want to know and help fix it quickly.

Growth

Growing beyond photography

About seven months after starting the photography side, we started to see a bigger opportunity. Real estate is not just one service. When a home goes on the market, agents often need photography, cleaning, staging, painting, and more. Usually, that means working with multiple companies.

Our goal is to slowly grow into a business that can provide more of those services in one place.

Where we started

Photography

We started with real estate photography and media. Today, we have two additional photographers besides Mario, which helps us increase availability and keep a smooth workflow.

The next step

Staging

We started home staging and launched stagingstateco.com. So far, we have staged more than 30 homes, and we are very proud of that. One advantage is that we own our own furniture, which allows us to stay flexible, bring in new pieces, and keep up with what is trending.

Our long-term vision is to make the listing process easier for agents by offering more of the services they need in one place.
