Questions
The things people ask before they book.
Short, straight answers. If yours is not here, ask in the quote form and you get a real reply, not a brochure.
Questions
Booking and pricing
How much does a shoot cost?
It depends on the size of the place, what you want shot, and how far out it is, so every job gets its own quote instead of a menu price. Send the address and you get a number back within 24 hours.
Do I have to pay anything up front?
No deposit. Sending the form does not book anything or commit you to anything. A date is only held once we have agreed in writing on what gets shot, when, and the price.
My listing goes live soon. Can you fit me in?
Put your deadline in the form and I will tell you honestly whether I can hit it, before you commit to anything. Files are back within 48 hours of the shoot, so the shoot date is usually the only thing to plan around.
What areas do you cover?
Macomb County and Metro Detroit, with no travel charge. Further out is possible for scheduled jobs, with any travel cost included in the quote up front.
Questions
The shoot
What is an FPV walkthrough?
A small drone flown through the property while I watch through goggles. The result is one unbroken shot from the front door, through the house, and back out over the property, so buyers understand the layout instead of piecing it together from photos.
Is it safe to fly a drone inside a house?
Yes. The drone I fly indoors is a small cinewhoop with guards around its propellers, built for flying close to walls and furniture. Every flight is under my FAA Part 107 certificate, and I carry business and drone liability insurance on every job.
What if the weather is bad on the day?
I check the forecast and airspace ahead of time. If the light will not give us a good exterior, I tell you the night before and we move it. A rescheduled shoot beats a listing that goes live under a grey sky.
Can you fly a drone anywhere?
Not everywhere. Some places are in restricted airspace, near airports for example. I check before the day, and if a shot is not legal or safe to fly I tell you and suggest another way to get it.
Do you only shoot real estate?
No. Restaurants, shops, offices, and other local businesses too, from one set of website photos to a full package with video, aerial, and vertical clips for social media.
Questions
What you get
How fast do I get everything back?
Within 48 hours of the shoot, edited and sent to your inbox.
How many photos do I get?
It depends on the size of the place and what you need. The number is set in the quote, so you know exactly what you are getting before you book.
Are the files ready for the MLS and social media?
Yes. Everything comes sized for the MLS, for your website, and in vertical for Reels, TikTok, and Stories. Nothing needs cropping or re-exporting before you post it.
Can my brokerage get proof of insurance?
Yes. Ask, and proof of insurance goes to your brokerage or property manager the same day.
