I have scoped out 10 missions near my house and I get a really bad vibe from this company. Most of the houses are occupied. I know several real estate agents and there's no way they're selling these pictures to real estate companies in two days. (That's how fast people say they get paid). I really think they're doing something else with them. Selling them to N Korea or something.
On the other hand,I did my 1st client mission today but even that was a little sketchy. I had to pull teeth to get any sort of intel on the job. IE selling the building or what. Why the pics? He finally told me that the pictures were being commissioned by a real estate broker (gave me the name.....big company) in the sale of the property. Then he was kind enough to tell me that no one on site would have any idea about any of this. It was about 1 hour from my house and took me about an hour, so 3 hours total. It involved high quality ground shots with my DSLR also. In total I submitted 35 pictures. Pays $225 which they tell you up front in the job offer. We'll see if they hold up their end. Nice to finally have some income from this business of mine. I was actually contacted about 6 months ago from the same guy for a different job but I wasn't certified at the time so I had to decline.
