How Much Does Real Estate Photography Cost in Denver? (2026 Guide)

One of the first questions agents ask is simple: what should I budget for listing media? Here's a straightforward guide for the Denver metro, with the numbers we actually charge.

What affects the price

Pricing depends mostly on square footage, the services you bundle (photos, video, drone, 3D tour), and turnaround time. Larger homes and luxury listings take more time to shoot and edit, and they need more photos, so they carry an extra fee: $50 on Ready2List, $75 with Zillow 3D, $100 with Matterport and $150 on the Legacy package for homes over 4,000 square feet. Part of that is the floor plan, which costs more to produce as the home grows.

What the packages cost

Ready2List is $250 and is the one most listings need: HDR photos, drone photos, a detailed floor plan, a dusk twilight cover and a personalized listing website.

Ready2List + Zillow is $300 right now instead of $350, and adds a Zillow 3D / Showcase tour for listings that need a stronger online presence.

Ready2List + Matterport is $350 and adds a full Matterport 3D tour, which is what out-of-state buyers walk before they book a showing.

D' Legacy is $600 and covers the whole listing: professional HDR photos, drone photos and footage, a floor plan, Matterport or Zillow 3D, and a lifestyle video.

What is included at every price

You never choose a photo count. Each package covers what the home needs, which usually lands between 30 and 50+ photos depending on the size of the house. Every package also includes a personalized listing website for the address, and photos are ready by 9 AM the next morning, so a home shot today can be live tomorrow.

Staging and cleaning, if the home needs them

Ready2Stage starts at $1,800 flat for homes under 3,500 square feet, with an extra $200 above that, and the furniture stays for 45 days instead of the 30 that most staging terms are built around. Cleaning for listing prep, move-outs or before photos starts at 25 cents per square foot.

Which one fits your listing

Most standard listings do fine with Ready2List. Add Zillow 3D when the listing needs more visibility online, add Matterport when the layout is unusual or buyers are relocating from out of state, and go with Legacy when the home is worth a full marketing push and you want video in the mix.
