Booking and payment
Do I pay anything when I book?
No. There's $0 due today on every shoot. You pay when your media is delivered. Listing agents may also qualify to pay at closing with Titus.
Who can use Pay at Close with Titus?
Pay at Close with Titus is for licensed real estate agents booking a shoot for a home they have a signed listing agreement on. Titus reviews each request with a soft credit check. Land, commercial and manufactured home listings don't qualify.
How does Pay at Close with Titus work?
If Titus approves your request, you pay at closing instead of when your media is delivered. You pay sooner if the listing is canceled, withdrawn or hasn't sold within six months. Titus shows any fee before you accept, so you know the cost up front.
Who pays when the media is delivered instead?
Property managers, Airbnb hosts, FSBO sellers, and commercial and architecture clients pay when their media is delivered. Agents who don't qualify for Titus, or would rather not use it, pay on delivery too.
How do I book?
Book online in about two minutes. Pick a package and a time, and add access details and parking notes in your booking notes.
How do I pay, and is there a card fee?
Card payments online carry a 3% processing fee. Pay by Zelle or by check payable to 360 Chicago Tours and there's no fee.
Do I need to be at the shoot?
No, as long as we have access. Add lockbox, doorman or door code details when you book. Agents get a listing prep checklist they can forward to the seller.
Delivery
How fast will I get my photos?
Usually within 24 hours, and delivery within 48 hours is guaranteed.
How fast is video delivered?
Video is delivered within 72 hours.
Is rush delivery available?
Yes. Rush delivery is $75 on agent packages. For property management orders it is $150 or 20% of the order, whichever is greater.
