Optiko Real Estate Roles
Careers

Not a desk job. A new house every hour.

Optiko Real Estate shoots the listings that move the central Ohio market. Photography, video, and drone work, in the door and delivered inside 24 hours. If you would rather spend your day framing rooms than answering email, this is the work.

The work

What the day actually looks like

Morning

You load out and drive

Multiple listings a day across the metro. Columbus, Dublin, Hilliard, Grove City, Marysville, Lewis Center, Sunbury. You own your schedule between stops and you get there on time.

On site

You shoot the house

Interiors, exteriors, drone, walkthrough video, dusk work. You are the person the agent meets at the door, so how you carry yourself is part of the job.

End of day

You upload everything

Hundreds of files off the cards and into the pipeline every evening, named and sorted correctly. Editing turns it around and the agent has it the next day.

What you will shoot

The range is wider than you think

Every listing is a different room, a different light, a different problem to solve. You will learn all of it.

Why Optiko

Reasons people stay

We train you on our way of shooting

Every shooter here is trained on our shot list, our standards, and the 24 hour turnaround. We would rather work with someone reliable and curious who wants to keep getting better than someone set in one way of doing it.

Your work ships in a day

The 24 hour turnaround means you see your shots live on a listing almost immediately. Nothing you make disappears into a folder for a quarter.

Columbus is home

We are from here. We know which neighborhoods photograph well at which hour, and you will learn the whole metro faster than any tour would teach you.

A production company behind it

We are a Columbus team, and there is room to grow past listings into broader video and media work.

Small team, direct answers

No layers to route a question through. You will know where you stand, what is expected, and who to ask, usually within the same hour.

Fit

Read this part honestly

This works if

  • You keep a schedule without anyone chasing you.
  • You are comfortable being the face of a company at a stranger's front door.
  • You are organized enough to manage hundreds of files a day without losing one.
  • You have reliable transportation and are fine driving all over the metro.
  • You would rather be taught properly than pretend you already know.

This does not work if

  • You want the same building and the same desk every morning.
  • You need a fixed nine to five. Days shift with daylight and listing volume.
  • Running late feels like a small thing to you.
  • You want to shoot art rather than sell houses. The photo serves the listing.
  • Detail work at the end of a long day is where you tend to fade.
