I had used another photo to take pictures on my listing in Scofield Farms. When they took the pictures they altered the color of the kitchen cabinets and flooring. My client very much disked the pictures!!! ZABE Media reached out to me not even knowing that I had already had pictures taken, but needed to find another company to take the pictures and they did. My client LOVES the pictures that ZABE Media took!! Happy client!

Yay that's awesome! We really appreciate you giving us the opportunity to reshoot the listing. We’re so glad you and your client loved the photos and that we could help get everything back on track!!

I had an excellent experience working with ZABE Media on one of my real estate listings. Abriel was professional, communicative, and very easy to coordinate with throughout the process.
The finished photos were bright, polished, and thoughtfully composed. They showcased the property beautifully while still representing the space accurately. The difference that professional equipment, lighting, and editing made was immediately noticeable.
I would confidently recommend ZABE Media to real estate agents and property owners looking for high-quality real estate photography. I look forward to working with them again on future listings.

Isaiah was wonderful to work with. As a busy realtor, I couldn't make it to the house for the photos, and he set it up, aligned shots perfectly, opened the windows and got the lighting just like I would have. He had a tough task of taking photos that both needed to be used for a listing, and an Airbnb (without us getting photos twice) and he was spot on. Great job, and keeping him on my shortlist of photographers!
