If you are listing a home in Bellingham or anywhere in Whatcom and Skagit County, one of the first questions is simple: what does professional real estate photography actually cost? Here is a straightforward breakdown, with no quote required to see a price.
Typical pricing in the Bellingham area
Most professional real estate photography in Northwest Washington falls between $200 and $700 per shoot, depending on the property size and what is included. Single services like a standalone photo set or a floor plan start around $150. Full marketing packages that combine photos, drone, video, and a 3D tour land at the top of that range.
Mirage Media packages
- Essential, $275. HDR photography, three aerial photos, a floor plan, and a marketing kit. Everything you need to get a listing live and looking professional.
- Premium, $450. Adds eight to ten aerial photos and a 3D Matterport tour, plus a discounted video add-on. The most popular option for full exposure.
- Elite, $700. The complete package, with video walkthrough, 10+ aerials, 3D tour, floor plan, and edited twilight exteriors for luxury and commercial listings.
Package pricing reflects properties up to 3,000 square feet. Larger homes and commercial spaces are quoted individually.
What affects the price
- Square footage. Larger homes take more time to shoot and edit.
- Add-ons. Drone, video, 3D tours, twilight, and virtual staging each add to the base.
- Travel. A small fee may apply for properties well outside the core Whatcom and Skagit service area.
Is it worth it?
The data says yes. According to Redfin, homes with professional photography sell about 32% faster and for $3,400 to $11,200 more relative to list price. On a typical listing, professional media is one of the cheapest and highest-return marketing decisions an agent or owner can make.
