WindowStill

What WindowStill does

WindowStill, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Eaton Rapids, Michigan, is a privately held, family-owned real estate media services company operating across the United States. It provides a comprehensive suite of listing-marketing services for residential and commercial properties, including professional photography (delivering 20-50 images per shoot), FAA-certified drone/aerial photography, Matterport-powered 3D virtual tours integrated with Zillow, listing and branded videos, custom floor plans, virtual staging, property descriptions, and commercial photography.

The company's operating model is a two-sided marketplace: real estate agents, Realtors, and private homeowners book shoots through the self-serve site.windowstill.com platform; orders are routed to a nationwide network of vetted contract photographers matched by location; and final products are delivered within 24 hours via Dropbox. Revenue is generated transactionally per service, with location-based custom quoting rather than fixed published pricing. The company markets directly to consumers and SMB agents via a blog (299+ posts), 'The Closing Table' podcast (56+ episodes), and organic social channels.

In May 2024 WindowStill acquired Miami-based Lifestyle Production Group to extend into luxury real estate videography and broaden international reach. The company maintains no disclosed outside funding, headcount is listed in the 11-50 range, and no API, SDK, or proprietary AI/ML capability is documented; technology differentiators center on turnaround speed, platform integrations, and the scale of its photographer network rather than advanced software.
