real estate drone services
Aerial photography and video for residential and commercial real estate across Chicagoland.
inquireWhat real estate drone work delivers
Real estate listings with aerial imagery sell 68% faster than listings without — and price premium properties benefit even more. A good aerial shot communicates lot size, proximity to amenities, the relationship between house and yard, neighborhood context, and the architectural intent of the property. Done well, drone imagery turns a listing into a story.
What you get
Standard residential package includes 8-12 stills + a 30-60 second cinematic video of the property and surroundings. Commercial property packages scale up: more elevation, full perimeter video, drone-to-ground sequences for marketing reels, and high-resolution stills suitable for print and large-format display. All footage is color-graded; stills are retouched and delivered in MLS-ready dimensions. Aerial work pairs naturally with on-the-ground commercial cinematography when the property warrants full marketing video coverage.
FAA Part 107 + insurance
Every shoot is flown under an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, with $1M aviation liability insurance on file. For airspace within Chicagoland’s controlled zones (O’Hare, Midway, smaller airfields), we file LAANC authorizations in advance — no day-of scrambling, no canceled shoots. Documentation can be provided to your brokerage compliance team.
