How Fast Can You Get Real Estate Photos Back? A Guide for Agents
In real estate, timing can make or break a listing. Every day that a home sits waiting for photos is a day it’s not on the market, not getting clicks, and not attracting buyers. We hear it all the time “How fast can I get the photos back?”
And it’s a valid question. The rhythm of real estate is fast, especially when deals move quickly, sellers are on tight timelines, or a hot property needs to hit the MLS before the weekend.
At C King Media, we understand this urgency because we work with agents every day who are juggling listing prep, showings, paperwork, and more. That’s why we offer clear turnaround options that help you stay competitive without cutting corners.
But speed alone isn’t enough. There’s a big difference between quick photos and polished, high-quality media that actually helps a property shine. Because what good is a fast gallery if the images are overexposed, crooked, or rushed? Quick delivery means nothing if the visuals don’t do the home justice.
This post is about finding the sweet spot what’s realistic to expect, how our turnaround process works, and how we help you get professional, compelling real estate media on your schedule.
Our Standard Turnaround: 48 Hours
For most listings, our normal turnaround time is 48 hours. This ensures we can carefully edit, polish, and prepare your gallery so that every image meets MLS standards and presents the home at its best.
Rush Delivery: 24 Hours
Need your photos faster? We also offer 24-hour turnaround with a rush fee. This option works best for properties that need to hit the MLS right away or for agents working under tight timelines.
By requesting 24-hour delivery, you’ll get the same professional edits and polished results just expedited to fit your schedule.
