You'll need to know # of hits monthly on their website too.You have not provided enough details. The usual formula is payment for time + expenses + (depends on use: one photo or several photos?, advertising? magazine? real estate? and the rights being negotiated.)
Indirectly related is the quality that you can provide based on your expertise, experience, skill, and equipment. Lighting and distortion control will be your main challenges.
Good luck.

Hi,
im new on this forum and i would appreciate some tips.
I have to photograph a property, about 10 rooms + exteriors,
for use in online brochure.
How much would you charge for it (including some PS editing) ?
Regards.

If you are shooting this for real estate purposes for an agent to sell a home, the typical rate is between $100 to $500 depend on the details.
I shoot real estate in Buffalo, NY and more shoots run around $175-$200 per home.
Man I seriously don't know how you justify the time. I've done a couple homes and it takes me actually MORE time than it takes to do commercial real estate. (if I'm doing it right)
Depends on the assignment. The real estate agents here in the bay area usually pay between $150 and $250 for a house. They only ask for a few images, outside front, outside rear, any special feature like a pool, finished garage, that sort of thing. Four to eight images and you are in and out. These don't require a ton of time and effort.
Now for the nicer homes where they want images of walk in closets, bars, theatre systems, custom kitchens, the rates jump up considerably. These are the shots where serious time is involved.

Have you done this and increased the rates appropriately? I could certainly see charging $200-250 for what would effectively be a drive-by and then ramping up appropriately.
@manaheim - It takes me about 2 hours to shoot a home and about 2 hours to edit that home. I realize that it not a lot of money for the time invested but at this point something is better then nothing. Also realize that I am still honing my skills. I am not undercutting anyone in this area because I am the only person that is really shooting residential homes. I think that it is important to also understand what the market can handle for a certain area. If I were to charge $600 for a home, I would be laughed out of town.
Yeah, I think this is the problem... real estate agents just don't realize how much value there is here. I did a shoot of a home and applied my usual process and attention to detail that I do on commercial buildings... and the results were nuts...
1. 3-4x the usual foot traffic on open houses.
2. About 60% of the people coming in commented that the photos were amazing and made the house look so big.
3. The house sold in record time... 1 week... for list... in this market... with backup offers.
And yet the realtor was like "Those were really nice, how much would you charge to do this usually?" (I had done it for a friend) When I told her she (as you said) laughed me out of town. Very shortsighted.
