Servicing Southwest Montana - Messner Media

Here There and Everywhere: Locations and Travel Policy

There are so many areas in the beautiful state of Montana that almost guarantee we get high-quality real estate pictures just based on location alone. Fortunately, so many of these properties reside within Bozeman and Big Sky. Since we split our time between both locations, Professional Real Estate Photography Services within these areas incur zero travel fees. The same can be said for the areas of Belgrade, Manhattan, and Livingston

Maybe one of our photographers is handling a property in The Lakes subdivision of Bozeman and gets a request to do some Cinematic Video in Spanish Peaks Mountain Club later that day. It happens, and we are more than happy to do it. 

But what about listings that fall outside of this area? Properties in Ennis, or Butte perhaps? It’s very simple. We have a one-way travel fee of $1.25/mile that begins once we are outside of our typical service area and only billed "one-way". For Butte, this looks like an extra $85 on top of your regular media order. We did some extensive market research before arriving at this figure, and believe it is fair to both the photographer and the agent

We want to reiterate, this figure is billed “one-way”, meaning we only charge for the distance away from our regular service area, not there and back. We are in the business of creating the best media for your real estate listings, not trying to sneak in unnecessary hidden fees. The less you have to worry about us, the more you can focus on selling your properties.

So next time you get that far away property and want to know if you can still use Doorstep, the answer is yes. We will be transparent and extremely communicative along the way, but you are always more than welcome to Contact Us for more information.
