How to take real estate headshots
In the digital age, the journey toward homeownership often begins online. Homebuyers use websites like Zillow and Redfin to find potential homes and scan through house listings. These listings contain a lot of information, but they also include details about agents and home showings. If you’re a real estate agent, your headshot is the first impression you make on a potential buyer.

Choosing the right setting
The right setting has a big impact on the effectiveness of your headshot. With a traditional headshot, you might travel to a specific location to take a picture, but with an AI headshot, you can simply select your setting during the image generation process. You’ll want to choose the right setting to match your brand. For example, a beach might make sense if you’re selling beach homes in Hawaii but probably isn’t right if you’re selling single-family homes in Ohio. Since your headshot will often be used on listing sites, we recommend a solid background or setting that matches your brand such as an office or city. A solid background will ensure your face is the focus when your headshot is displayed in smaller formats on these sites. For websites such as LinkedIn, where your photo is more prominent, you can select different settings, like an office or city street, but it’s important to be mindful of your brand.
Lighting
Unlike a traditional photoshoot that may use expensive lighting techniques and equipment, the images you upload for an AI headshot can be taken at home. To produce the ideal AI headshot, it’s important that there is plenty of lighting in the images you take. The best technique is simple: take your photos outdoors with natural lighting. Avoid harsh shadows and overexposure. This will ensure that our AI photographer produces the best AI real estate headshots.
Outfit and style
Dress for your market. The outfit and style you select when generating images depend on your brand. Consider how you dress for home showings and how that’s related to the property that you’re selling. However, like lighting, there are ways to ensure that your AI headshots look great. Make sure that your image is in focus and that your face looks sharp. This will help the AI photographer ensure a greater number of your generated images are styled well.
A confident expression
Our AI headshots will largely reflect the expression of your uploaded images. For this reason, we recommend making an expression that portrays confidence in your initial images. This will translate into confidence in your listings and strengthen your online presence.
