In this episode, Jason Freedman sits down with Mike Sperando of Mike Sperando Photo & Video for a no-fluff conversation on real estate photography, listing marketing, social media, building a business, and what it actually takes to stand out in an industry with thousands of competitors.

Mike has photographed more than 2,000 real estate listings this year alone, but it all started with a $90 photo shoot, a MapQuest printout from his dad, and an open house in Buckingham.

From what agents should actually spend on listing photography to drone, twilight photos, 3D tours, social media, and the Doylestown house that sold $217,000 over asking, Jason and Mike break down what actually moves the needle and what doesn’t.

But the conversation also goes deeper into ambition, burnout, authenticity, and the pressure that comes with constantly chasing the next level.
