How to Book Zillow Showcase Media

Zillow Showcase works a little differently than a standard shoot booking. Read this before you reach out to us — it will save you a lot of back and forth.

Important: You cannot book Zillow Showcase media directly through us. The booking must be started inside your Zillow account. Follow the steps below and we will handle everything from there.

1

Get a Zillow Showcase Subscription

Required

Before anything else, you need an active Zillow Showcase subscription. This is handled entirely through Zillow — not through us. Click the button below to visit Zillow's sign-up page.

Here is the part that trips people up — you must book the media directly inside your Zillow account, not by contacting us first. Here is exactly how:

  1. 1Log in to your Zillow account and go to your listing.
  2. 2Click "Get media" from the listing dashboard (it may also appear as an "Up next" prompt).
  3. 3When asked to choose a photographer, select "Invite your own photographer."
  4. 4Search for 850 Photography or enter our info to send us an invite.
  5. 5Select your services, pick a date and time from the available calendar, and submit.
  6. 6You will get a confirmation on screen and via email.

We Accept the Invite and Show Up

Once we receive the invite from Zillow, we will confirm and show up at the scheduled time. We are already approved to shoot Showcase media, so there is nothing extra you need to do on your end after sending the invite.

Media Is Uploaded and Ready to Go

After the shoot, we upload the finished media directly to your Zillow listing. You will be able to preview it, rearrange photos, and publish when you are ready — all from the "Orders" section of your Zillow dashboard. Photos are typically delivered within 24 hours.

That is it!

Once you send the invite through Zillow, we take it from there. If you run into any issues finding us in the Zillow system, reach out and we will walk you through it.
