elevated exterior view

Drones aren't just for high elevation hero shots - great exterior listing photos get a boost from a little altitude. Homes that sit up high from the street, have mature plantings in front or those that are especially large are all great candidates for this type of photo and give prospective buyers a unique angle to swoon over. Plus it will really stand out as the main photo in an MLS listing!

Looking straight down from above is a fun, flattering view and a unique way to present a property. Features like a new roof, an outdoor patio/deck, a pool, and especially beautiful landscaping really stand out in these images. This view is also helpful in illustrating property boundaries and the general shape of the lot.
