Deceptive Claims I signed up to be a scanner with Asteroom. The representative and their marketing ad stated that each assignment would pay no less than $75. I have the original advertisement just in case the information is changed. However, when I started receiving assignments, many of them actually start at $60. I also have the original email related to this. Also, I was told that assignments would be delivered to my email. But they never told me that I would be competing with other scanners for the same assignments. While I'm sure Asteroom is a good company, there was a lot of misrepresentation and deceptive marketing that has made me lose some respect for them.

I really like working with Asteroom I really like working with Asteroom. Not only are they very friendly and nice, they give really clear and concise guidelines in what they want from me. The software that I use to produce the 3D tours and desk appraisals works really well, is very complete, and makes my work much easier - plus, I haven't encountered any bugs. [Added: I wanted to add that I started shooting virtual tours before Asteroom expanded into desk appraisal, shooting real estate with a number of different realtor agents. At that time, I was using a Ricoh Z1, which I initially continued to use as they expanded their business model. At one point, I decided to try using my iPhone with their fisheye lens and Bluetooth rotator. I was amazed that the quality of the shots I was getting with that combo was both equal to my Z1, but waaayyyy easier and faster than the Z1 > Lightroom > Asteroom web page. The other point I wanted to make is that there is sometimes a lag between the shoot and getting paid, but it's always faster than getting paid by the agent. I may get paid slightly less than I do with an agent, but the lower hassle and faster turnaround makes it all worthwhile.] So all in all, I would rather work with Asteroom than with any other similar service.

Asteroom is great to work with because… Asteroom is great to work with because they do all of the scheduling and back end for you, you simply need to show up on time, do the work and get paid. They handle everything else and are always available to help should a new challenge arise.

This has been a very smooth and more… This has been a very smooth and more importantly, transparent experience.

Fast and easy! The ASTEROOM team makes the data collection process quick and easy for their data collectors with a quick turnaround time for onsite approval of the task. Also, making desktop appraisals has helped to speed up the process of cactually getting an appraisal done because they can do more in one day without having to go to each property individually. Great resource to use and have in my toolbelt!
