	Hi everyone, I’ve been navigating the process of hiring reliable photo and video editors specifically for real estate content and it's been more challenging than I expected. I’ve tried freelance platforms like Fiverr and Upwork. While they’ve had decent results at times, consistency and quality control have been major issues. I’m currently exploring offshore companies that specialize in real estate photography and videography editing, especially in Latin America and India, but so far, it’s been hit or miss. I’d really appreciate any tips on: -How to properly screen and test editors (especially for real estate media) -Best practices when hiring remote editors from Latin America, India, or other offshore locations -How to structure the workflow to maintain quality and meet deadlines consistently If anyone has been through this process and found a solid system—or a reliable vendor—I'd love to hear your experience. Thanks in advance!

We now have in house editors but when I was outsourcing I went on the facebook groups (there's a ton for real estate photo editing) and all you have to do is make a post and you'll get flooded with "pick me" responses. I would send out a sample batch to who you're considering and have them edit 5-7 photos, compare those with your regular editor or your edits... then choose who closely matches the style you want.

when using offshore editors (or onshore) make it known that you'd like them to work off shift. for my company, we shoot during the day 8a-twilight, and I deliver images around 5p-9pm to my editors, they start editing and deliver the next morning. My agents have their images by 9a or 10am the following day regardless of the time we did the shoot the day prior.

best of luck.
