How it works

Get your headshots in minutes, not days

Three steps. Phone-friendly upload. Hand-picked delivery. No studio appointment, no wardrobe prep, no half-day blocked off.

  1. 1 Upload

    Upload 10 selfies

    Phone photos are fine. Mix up the angles, expressions, and outfits. Take them in the last year so the AI grades you, not a younger you.

  2. 2 Generate & grade

    The AI builds and grades your photos

    Every shot is scored against a working photographer's checklist. Lighting, eyes, sharpness, identity match. The bad ones get tossed before you ever see them.

  3. 3 Delivery

    Hand-picked set in under 90 minutes

    Every photo passed before it reached you. Most orders finish in less than an hour. Download, share, set as your LinkedIn profile photo, done.

Why this matters

Your headshot is doing the work for your real estate brand

Your headshot lives on Zillow, the brokerage bio, the open house flyer, the yard sign, and the back of your business card. It is the first thing a seller sees on the listing presentation.

It earns the listing

Sellers pick agents the way buyers pick photos. A polished headshot tells a homeowner you take their sale as seriously as their biggest financial decision.

It reads warm, not corporate

Real estate is a relationship business. Aurawave outputs default to soft natural backgrounds and approachable expressions. That look beats the gray-corporate-headshot every time on the scroll.

It works on every channel

Zillow, Realtor.com, the brokerage bio, yard signs, business cards, listing flyers, LinkedIn. One Aurawave session covers every place your face shows up.

Why Aurawave

Photographer-built, not algorithm-dumped

Other tools generate 100 mediocre photos and make you sort through the rejects. Aurawave runs every photo through a working photographer's grading rubric and only delivers the keepers.

20+ years behind the lens. 15,000 studio sessions in the rubric.

Joshua spent 20+ years behind the lens. He ran a top-10 US headshot studio in Chicago from 2007 to 2024. He saw the AI category shipping photos that looked like models, not the real people who paid for them.

Aurawave is the fix. The same checklist he uses on studio shoots, baked into the grading layer. The AI is the camera. The photographer is still in the room.

Real estate headshot FAQ

Questions about real estate headshots

The most common questions we hear from agents, brokers, and team leads.

Will this look professional enough for my brokerage's bio page?
Yes. Aurawave outputs are styled for the brokerage bio page first. Blazers, soft warm backgrounds, an approachable expression. The same look that reads right on a Compass, KW, or Coldwell Banker agent profile.
Can I get versions with different backgrounds for Zillow and the yard sign?
Yes. Zillow shows your photo small and round. The yard sign shows it three feet wide on the front lawn. Aurawave delivers a hand-picked set with a clean tight crop for Zillow and a wider frame for print and signage.
Will the styling work for both team and individual listings?
Yes. The same agent can be cropped tight for a solo profile and pulled wider for a team roster. Aurawave's grading checklist matches lighting and styling across the set so the team reads as one brand.
Can I match my brokerage's brand colors?
Mostly. Aurawave can match a soft neutral, a warm gray, a light blue, or a soft greenery blur. For a precise brand-color background, lift the photo into Photoshop or send it to your brokerage marketing team.
Will my AI real estate headshot actually look like me?
Yes. The grading step throws out any photo that does not look like you. It should pass the test where a past client spots you on the open house flyer and says hello.
Do I own my real estate headshots?
Yes. Full commercial use. Your Zillow profile, the brokerage bio, your yard signs, your business cards, your listing flyers, and your social channels.
