Pay at Close
Shoot It Now, Pay When It Closes
Marketing a listing costs money months before the commission arrives. On MLS listings you can now have the photos, video and tour done today and settle the invoice at the closing table.
Four Steps, One of Them Ours
You book the way you always do. The only new step is a short application with Titus, the lender who fronts the invoice.
Tick the box when you book
Choose your package and select pay at close on the booking form. It only appears for listing work, because the option is repaid out of a sale.
Your client applies, or you do
Whoever is paying applies with Titus, the lender behind the option. It takes a few minutes, approval and the rate are theirs to set, and what it will cost them is shown before they accept anything.
We shoot and deliver as normal
Same turnaround, same guarantees, same files. Nothing is held back and nothing is watermarked while the invoice is outstanding.
The invoice settles at closing
The balance is paid from the sale proceeds at the closing table, or six months after the shoot if the home has not sold by then. We are paid upfront either way, so nothing about your shoot depends on how long the listing takes.
A Flat $25 on the Invoice
Choosing pay at close adds $25 to the invoice. That is the whole of what we charge for it. The package price does not change, the shoot does not change, and paying by card or bank transfer on the day still costs nothing extra.
Separately, Titus charges the person paying a flat fee when they repay, from 0% to 8% depending on their credit. That figure is theirs, not ours, it is shown during the application before anyone accepts anything, and the next section sets it out in full. We are paid upfront either way, so we have no stake in which option anyone picks.
Free at the Top, Not Free Below It
Titus charges the person paying a flat fee when they repay. It is set by credit band, it is theirs rather than ours, and it is the number that decides whether this is a good idea for a given seller.
| Credit score | Agent pays | Homeowner pays |
|---|---|---|
| 800+Super prime | 0% | 0% |
| 740 to 799Prime | 4% | 4% |
| 670 to 739Near prime | 6.5% | 6.5% |
| 640 to 669Upper subprime | 8% | 8% |
| 570 to 639Mid subprime | Not offered | 8% |
Those are Titus rates as of September 2026 and Titus can change them, so check the live figure before you quote it to anyone. Check your rate on our Titus page, which takes about two minutes and does not commit anyone to anything. Our $25 is on top of whatever that comes back as.
- Up to $20,000 in total deferred against one listing
- Agents qualify for 1.5% of the list price, up to that $20,000, depending on credit
- Homeowners qualify on home equity and credit
MLS Listings Only
The invoice is repaid out of a sale, so there has to be a sale. That single fact decides everything below.
Eligible
- Single-family homes, condos, townhomes and 1 to 4 unit residential property
- A signed listing agreement in place before the shoot
- Listings in Florida, where both agents and homeowners are eligible
- Photo, video and 3D tour packages for that listing, including add-ons booked with it
Not eligible
- Short-term and vacation rental marketing. There is no sale to close against, and the lender excludes rentals outright
- Commercial property, land, mobile homes and LLC-owned property over $1M
- Pre-listing work with no signed listing agreement yet
- Headshots, brand video, events and anything else not tied to a listing
It Is a Loan, Not a Contingency
Pay at close changes when the invoice is due. It does not make the invoice conditional on the home selling. The balance is due at the sale or six months after the shoot, whichever comes first. Whoever takes it on, the seller or you, owes the lender either way, and a listing still sitting on the market at month six is repaid directly rather than at a closing table. Installment plans are available if that is easier.
We say this here because you are going to be the one explaining it at a listing appointment, and it is better coming from you first. A seller who understands it takes it well. A seller who finds out in August does not.
Approval, limits and any cost to the borrower are decided by Titus Lending, LLC under their own terms, not by us. If an application is declined the shoot still goes ahead and the invoice is simply paid the normal way.
