Switched from flat fee to tiered pricing last spring. Best move I made.

I used to charge everyone the same flat fee for listing photos. Kept it simple but I was turning away cheap fixer-uppers that took twice the time. Then I tried a three tier system in April. Basic for clean move-in ready homes, mid for stuff needing staging, and premium for vacant or messy places. Has anyone else found tiered pricing works better than one flat rate?

Honestly, does tiered pricing ever backfire and make things more complicated?

yeah so I ordered pizza from this one place that had like 5 tiers of toppings pricing and I ended up spending 20 minutes on the app just trying to figure out if getting the premium pepperoni was worth the extra dollar fifty. by the time I finally checked out my pizza was cold because I took so long deciding lol. I think sometimes places go overboard with the tiers and it just makes people second guess everything instead of just grabbing what they want. like if I have to do math to order a simple meal something is broken.

... I mean it's just house photos, not like we're pricing rocket parts here. If you can't figure out a three tier system without stressing over it maybe that's more of a you problem than a pricing problem. People act like a little bit of thinking is going to break their brain or something.
