Giraffe360 in the Field: A 10-Year Pro’s Honest Take

Jon Lee has been shooting real estate full-time for a decade — and he doesn't sugarcoat anything. In this WGAN-TV interview, the Giraffe360 brand ambassador and PPA real estate photography educator pulls back the curtain on what actually builds a sustainable real estate media business.Tom Sparks talks with Jon about how he went from Navy veteran and wedding photographer to running a six-figure solo real estate media operation in Jacksonville, Florida — shooting up to 25–30 homes a week at peak. Jon covers his full service mix (photos, aerial, video, virtual tours, and floor plans), how he built a loyal client base that waits for him when he's on vacation, and why he deliberately caps his client roster rather than scaling with staff.On the Giraffe360 side, Jon shares what it was like to get the Pro camera with zero handholding — and why it won him over. He walks through where Giraffe360 fits in his workflow vs. Zillow 3D Home Tours, the ROI case for virtual tours as the highest-margin service in his business, and his honest feature requests (yes, including the hide-pano button). He also breaks down why he recommends Giraffe360 to brand-new photographers just starting out, not just seasoned pros.0:00 Introduction0:29 Jon's Background &amp; Getting into Photography1:39 Going Full-Time in Real Estate Photography2:47 How PPA and Giraffe360 Connected4:28 Becoming a Giraffe360 Brand Ambassador5:24 Tom's Origin Story (Film Camera + Zodiac Killer)8:37 Running a Solo Operation — No Staff9:08 Building Loyal Agent Relationships12:40 Current Shoot Volume &amp; Throttling Back15:32 Service Mix: Photos, Aerial, Tours, Video16:08 The Zillow 3D Home Tour Play18:19 Real Estate Market Conditions in Florida21:08 Pricing, Niche Positioning, and No-Shows22:28 Switching to Giraffe360 — First Impressions23:01 Why Matterport and iGUIDE Didn't Fit24:04 Where Giraffe360 Fits in the Workflow27:49 Time on Site and ROI30:31 Shooting Photos with Giraffe360 vs. Mirrorless33:57 Teaching New Photographers at Miami Class35:40 Brand Ambassador Day-to-Day Role43:18 Feature Requests: Hide Pano, Room Naming48:05 Jon's Role as PPA Real Estate Educator52:02 Biggest Mindset Shift for New RE Photographers53:41 AI, the DJI Ban, and the Future of the Industry54:49 Ethics in Real Estate Photography1:01:40 Advice for WGAN Members Considering Giraffe3601:03:51 Virtual Tours as the Highest-Margin Service1:04:28 Where to Find Jon Lee🔗 LINKS &amp; RESOURCESJon Lee – JWL Media: https://jwleemedia.com/Giraffe360 – WGAN Exclusive Deal (10% off 12 months + 60-day money-back guarantee): http://wgan.info/giraffe360We Get Around Network: https://wegetaroundnetwork.com(Offer details can change — always check the page for current terms.)📢 ABOUT WE GET AROUND NETWORKWe Get Around Network is the go-to community for 3D/360° imaging professionals — Matterport service providers, real estate photographers, and property marketing specialists.

Roomio: iPhone Floor Plans for Real Estate Photographers

What if you could scan a property in 5 minutes with your iPhone and have a professional floor plan delivered within 24 hours, starting at $11? That's exactly what Roomio does. Tom Sparks sits down with Steven, co-founder of Phoria, the team behind Captur3d. For the first look at Roomio, their new smartphone floor plan tool built for real estate photographers, agents, and anyone who needs a professional floor plan fast. Steven walks through everything: how the LiDAR-based capture works, the step-by-step scanning process, accuracy benchmarks, pricing, delivery pipeline, ANSI compliance progress, and what's coming next including non-LiDAR and Android support. Tom puts it through its paces with real questions from a working photographer's perspective, branded templates, multi-user accounts, scan pausing, SVG delivery, commercial property support, and a feature request for a fake camera rig to fool skeptical agents. Steven also reveals that WGAN members get two free floor plans to test drive the platform via wgan.info/Roomio. For real estate photographers looking to add floor plans as a high-margin add-on service without expensive hardware, this conversation covers everything you need to know.🔗 LINKS &amp; RESOURCESTry Roomio — 2 free floor plans for WGAN members: https://wgan.info/RoomioWe Get Around Network: https://www.wegetaround.comChapters0:00 Introduction &amp; Roomio Elevator Pitch1:00 LiDAR vs. Non-LiDAR Capture1:48 The Aha Moment — How Roomio Was Built3:13 Floor Plans, Site Plans &amp; 3D Floor Plans3:55 Scanning Outside for Site Plans4:17 Tom's First-Hand Experience With Roomio4:58 Floor Plan Amendment Tool — Coming Soon5:48 SVG Delivery &amp; Format Options5:54 Step-by-Step Scanning a 3-Bedroom Home8:02 Scanning Speed &amp; Technique9:36 Camera Angle &amp; the Painting Method10:40 The Property Report Feature10:56 Pricing: 24-Hour vs. 10-Hour Turnaround11:18 AI + Human Delivery Pipeline12:27 Future Turnaround Time Goals13:59 ANSI Z765 Compliance15:36 Accuracy Benchmarks17:18 Delivery Formats17:43 Branded Templates &amp; Logo Upload19:04 Platform Demo — Templates &amp; Delivery20:27 Multi-User Account Management21:03 Property Report Deep Dive22:06 Roomio vs. Hardware Platforms23:25 Pricing Breakdown &amp; Market Rates26:15 Pay-Per-Use Model &amp; Volume Pricing31:28 Commercial Property &amp; Size Limits33:53 Pausing &amp; Resuming Scans35:27 Privacy &amp; What Gets Captured36:46 Integrations &amp; API Roadmap37:16 Floor Plan Template Gallery Walkthrough39:51 2 Free Floor Plans for WGAN Members40:21 What's Coming Next for Roomio41:12 Wrap-Up#Roomio #FloorPlan #RealEstateTech #RealEstatePhotography #WGAN #WeGetAroundNetwork #iPhoneFloorPlan #PropTech #PropertyMarketing #Phoria #Captur3d #VirtualTours #MSP #3DFloorPlan #SitePlan
