Grateful to have been part of Select Summit last week in Reno!

The Summit had a “Stars and Stripes” theme this year, so I leaned in with the sequined jacket — which, if nothing else, made it very easy to find the headshot booth. :us::sparkles:

I had the chance to provide free headshots for agents from across the Select family, reconnect with familiar faces, meet a lot of new people, and have some great conversations about listing media, agent branding, and the role strong marketing plays in helping agents stand out.

Thank you to the Select team for having me, and thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth. It was a fun few days, and I really appreciated the chance to be part of it.

We continue to grow and are looking to hire an entry-level, part-time photographer/videographer, no experience needed. We will train how to do everything. More important than experience, we are looking for a people person, someone who can carry an interesting conversation with a doorknob.

One of the perks of this job for the right candidate is schedule flexibility. One of the potential downsides can be schedule inconsistency. This job is right for someone looking for extra cash, not for someone looking for a main source of income. The target is 10-20 hours per week.

If you love to bring top-tier customer service, can inspire trust from Realtors and homeowners, feel comfortable around tech, are presentable, have reliable transportation, and a friendly-forward disposition, we invite you to learn more and apply here:

What a spectacular buliding! Check out the stained glass lighting in the rotunda cieling! I love history, and The Kraft Building oozes it in all its fine detail 😄

Capturing this beauty for Danielle Branham was just delightful. The friendly cow pets were my favorite part!😀

Hi there! 👋 I'm John Wheatley, owner of Real Focus Media, a full-stack provider of real estate media services in the northern Sacramento Valley area, from Yuba to Chico to Red Bluff and beyond!

Quick background on me - I started this business maybe for the same reasons you started your business as an agent. I wanted to own my own business to build a better future for me and my family. I also wanted to do something that allowed me to be more creative in my career. Finally, i wanted to work with professionals like you.

Little did I know I would fall in love with this awesome industry. I get to see amazing homes and beautiful places (and some not-so-nice ones, lol), and I've been able to build a great network of clients that allows me to do something I love for a living. 😍

AND I AM JUST GETTING STARTED! ! I would love the opportunity to partner with you to create some fantastic photos (and maybe a video or 3D tour) for your next listing - just Message me or book online with the link in my bio. 🤝

When I first decided that I wanted to do real estate photography, I knew I needed to practice. There was no question; after my own home, I would start with Bidwell's mansion. These are the first pictures I took and edited on my journey of architectural storytelling. Not masterpieces, but sentimental to me, now more than ever. Goodbye old house. 😪

Interesting. Pretty dramatic difference. Google Maps showing satellite images side by side of Lake Oroville from different times.
