I was recently contacted by a client of mine, who is a real estate agent. He is wanting to build what amounts to a stock gallery of homes in various local neighborhoods to use on his website to show what homes in the various neighborhoods look like. For example, if someone was looking for a home in the Seven Oaks neighborhood, they could navigate to that page, and see some generic photos of homes in the area.
My question is, what is the legality of photographing these homes for commercial use (he will be paying me.) In some cases, this is do able from public property, but the homes would likely be identifiable. Also, some neighborhoods are gated, and the neighborhood itself is managed and private property, which would make photographing in them very difficult, legally. What about the public neighborhoods?
