Since photographers and editors work with the Real Estate Sales Representatives and Brokers and have the legal responsibilities since they are the member of any Realtors’ Association, the former should not be held liable for any misrepresentation disputes.
If photographers or editors perform their duties with due diligence, they will not be held accountable by any misrepresentations that may arise from the edited images. It is recommended that the Real Estate Sales Representative or Broker document that they are modifying any photograph at the client’s request, not only based on their discretion if required.
We require the property to be fully prepared prior to our arrival. Please have all lights on, blinds/curtains open, toilet seats down, garbage cans hidden (interior and exterior), and personal belongings put away.
