Austin - Local Guide
"Tomas was incredible to work with—professional, patient, and genuinely kind from the initial planning stages, helping us select the right package, all the way through to the final product, which he delivered incredibly fast. I especially appreciated that he didn’t rely on gimmicky sales talk that we got from many other companies."
Kelly Drost - Realtor
"Tomas and Bird Real Estate Photos and Media have delivered, again and again, the most gorgeous photos and videos. Tomas is an absolute pleasure to work with. They are always on time, know exactly how I want my properties shot, and deliver the best photos in less than a day. I could not do this job without him."
Sonya Mcfatrich - Designer
"Working with Thomas was a delight! He went above and beyond to make sure I had the shots I needed to launch my business. The homes had very little light and he made them look bright and beautiful! Looking forward to more shoots in the future! Sonya McFatrich- Beach House Bling Home Staging."
Who This Page Is For
FOR REALTORS
Bird Real Estate Media was built around what Realtors actually need because Tomas, the owner-photographer, was one. He designed the process around reliable booking, strong listing visuals, clean delivery, and media that helps sellers feel confident before the listing goes live.
Bird Real Estate Media is part of the Zillow Showcase Certified and Zillow Elite preferred Suncoast media provider. Every image is captured with a selling eye, not just a camera.
FOR FSBOs
Selling by owner does not mean marketing like an amateur. We help homeowners present their property with professional photos, floor plans, drone images, listing websites, and media built for serious buyer confidence.
We are homeowners too, so we get what is at stake. Choose the right package, use the media that sells, and do not cut corners on the first impression.

Simple Booking. Clear Delivery. Local Coverage.
Professional real estate media should be easy to book, easy to understand, and ready to use. Here is how our process works for Realtors, FSBO sellers, homeowners, and property managers across Sarasota and Manatee County.
How to Book
Bookings must be submitted online only so we receive the correct property details, service selections, access notes, and special requests. You’ll receive instant confirmation, with no deposit or upfront payment required. After the photo session, images are typically delivered within 24 to 48 hours to the email address used for booking, and you pay per download.
Payment & Delivery
We use a pay-per-download system, so you only pay once your media is ready. After delivery, you will receive a link by email where you can pay to download your final media. That same link also works as your online gallery, property website, and media portal. It stays active for 12 months and can showcase your photos, floor plan, 3D tours, listing links, and selected media.
What To Expect
Property Photography requires a photo-ready space. It cannot happen while paperwork, meetings, cleaning, or other activities are taking place in shared areas. If the property can't be fully photo-ready, we may not be the right fit, and that's ok.
If extra post-production is needed, touch-ups are $15 per image, think dog bowls, missing light bulbs, trash bins, debris, and other avoidable distractions.
The preparation checklist is included in the confirmation email, and the complete guide is available on the blog.
This is not strict for the sake of being strict. It is to protect your investment. Any other business can photograph a space and move on, but we genuinely care.
Weather Runs The Show
This is not an inspection, a plumbing job, or an appliance repair. We are helping you sell your property, and it needs to be showcased at its best.
Overcast skies are usually fine. In fact, clouds can act like a giant diffuser, creating soft, moody, cinematic light. But active rain is a big no. We cannot fly drones safely, the property can look muddy and messy, and the final media will not represent the home the way it should.
Our advice is simple: check the weather before booking. If heavy rain moves in, we will be happy to reschedule for the best results.
