Why Are Realtor Headshots Important?
First impressions matter, and people often form judgments within a fraction of a second. These initial impressions can influence who they choose to work with, buy from, or listen to.
Most clients research real estate agents online before reaching out. Whether they're browsing Zillow, LinkedIn, or social media, your headshot can significantly impact their decision to contact you.
A high-quality headshot conveys confidence, trustworthiness, and professionalism, making it a valuable asset for boosting sales and career opportunities.
What Are Realtor Headshots?
Realtor headshots are professional business portraits used on company websites, business cards, LinkedIn profiles, and promotional materials. For most real estate agents, their headshot is prominently displayed on their personal website, LinkedIn profile, and even marketing signs.
These images emphasize professionalism, approachability, and expertise—helping agents establish trust with clients and stand out in a competitive market.
A polished headshot is an essential branding tool that enhances credibility, attracts more clients, and ultimately helps close more deals.
How Should I Pose for a Realtor Headshot?
Posing for a professional real estate headshot should be natural and confident.
- Start with a relaxed, approachable stance—a simple smile works wonders
- Try a classic arms-crossed pose to project authority and confidence
- Consider candid shots for a more engaging and approachable feel
We focus on simple, effective poses that showcase your personality without looking forced or unnatural.
What Should I Wear for a Realtor Headshot?
Your outfit should reflect your market, brand, and audience.
- Luxury and commercial real estate: A classic suit-and-tie or a professional blazer is recommended
- Residential and rental properties: You may opt for business casual attire to appear more approachable
- General rule: Check how top-performing agents in your area dress for their headshots and align your look accordingly

How to Prepare for Your Realtor Headshot Session
Take care of yourself
Getting enough rest, staying hydrated, and exercising in the days leading up to your session will help you look fresh and natural in your photos
Try on your outfit in advance
Make sure your clothing fits well, is clean, and doesn't require last-minute dry cleaning
Review past photos
If there are certain angles or styles you like, bring reference images to your session so your photographer can capture your best look
Best Backgrounds for Realtor Headshots
Your background should complement your brand and professional image.
- Studio backdrops (white, gray, or black): Ideal for a clean and polished look
- Outdoor or on-location shots: A real estate setting, such as a well-lit home or cityscape, adds authenticity and character
- A mix of both: Having both studio and natural shots gives you more options for various platforms
If you're an experienced agent, investing in multiple headshots for different marketing materials can help establish credibility.

"I had a great experience with Andrew. As soon as I booked the appointment, he called me to align on my needs and expectations. During the photo shoot, he made me feel at ease and he took a lot of really good shots. It was hard to choose just a few. The editing process was really quick and even when I requested additional adjustments, he did them right away and made sure I was happy with the results. I'd highly recommend Andrew!"
