Built for portfolios

Made for portfolios, not just one property.

The real question isn't whether the photos look good. It's whether one person can cover every property you manage — on schedule, at the same standard. That's exactly what this is set up to do.

ONE POINT OF CONTACT
One relationship across every property
You brief one person — not a new freelancer per site. Scope, scheduling, and delivery all run through a single point of contact.
CONSISTENT OUTPUT
The same look and turnaround, everywhere
The same framing, color, and delivery standard on every property, so your marketing stays coherent across the whole portfolio.
LIVE COMMUNITIES
Scheduled around your residents
Shoots planned around occupied units, leasing-office hours, and resident privacy — access arranged in advance, disruption kept low.

Why Merchan Films

One operator. One standard. Every property.

Merchan Films is an Orange County studio with a real-estate and architectural media background, shooting on a Canon R5C. Aerial work is flown under FAA Part 107 certification — a genuine differentiator most local photographers can't offer, and the reason your community can be shown from the air, legally and safely.

Because it's one operator rather than a rotating roster, the look and turnaround stay identical from your first property to your fiftieth.

Marketing a single listing rather than a community? The same operator handlessingle-listing real estate media — photo, video, and drone in one shoot.

FAQ

The details that matter to a portfolio.

How fast is turnaround?

Standard delivery for a single-property Amenity & Leasing Refresh is 48 hours, so the images can go straight into your active listings and ad sets. Larger portfolio shoots are scheduled with a delivery date agreed up front.

What is your service area?

All of California. Orange County is home base, and travel for portfolio and multi-property work is built into the schedule.

What is included in the Amenity & Leasing Photo Refresh?

One property: clubhouse and leasing office, pool and fitness center, one model or vacant unit, and the community exterior including aerial. You receive a fully edited gallery sized for listing sites, ILS profiles, your website, and paid social.

How does portfolio and retainer pricing work?

The retainer covers ongoing coverage across multiple properties under one relationship and one turnaround standard. Pricing is scoped to the number of properties and how often you want them refreshed.

How do you schedule around residents and occupied units?

Shoots are planned around leasing-office hours and resident privacy. Model and vacant units are prioritized, occupied-unit access is arranged in advance with notice, and amenity spaces are captured at low-traffic times.

Is the drone photography handled legally?

Yes. All aerial work is flown under FAA Part 107 certification, with airspace and property permissions confirmed before the shoot — a genuine differentiator most local photographers cannot offer.

How do we receive the files, and are they sized for listing sites?

Everything is delivered through a private online gallery with high-resolution downloads plus web- and social-optimized versions, ready for your ILS, website, and paid channels.
