Perhaps I’m out of the loop, but when I found this company that takes aerial photos to help promote real estate listings, I was pretty impressed. I have seen this kind of thing before with very high priced listings… like the 10 Million+ range with small planes and helicopters, but I have never seen anything like this:
IMO, this is a brilliant idea, and I’ll bet this guy is having a ball turning his hobby into a business. He charges $185 per listings with bulk order discounts, and same day delivery. This trumps every other service I’ve seen that usually starts in the $1,000 range because of the use of real airplanes.
Now what this guy needs to do is duplicate this business on a national level. I know alot of agents that would jump on something like this… as far as I know he only shoots in Colorado.
Here is an example of his work:
It’s great to see innovations like this… even in a niche market like real estate aerial photography.

That is a great business – this type of service could be huge!
Interesting post. As Google improves their Maps and Street View functions, I wonder if that will play a larger role in an individual’s research before buying a home in a new area.
WOW…what a great concept…he needs to franchise that!
That’s awesome. Still a bit expensive though. I use a service called Huthead.com for under $20 that makes 360 tours with photos I take myself. Are aerial photos a bigger deal? I wonder if I could take them myself with a camera attached to a RC helicopter…I’m sure it’s probably not that easy.
I’m touring the blogosphere today and you have found the coolest thing I’ve seen! And how smart of him to keep the service affordable!
Ha! What a coincidence Jared. I use Huthead too. It’s pretty easy, and the main thing for me is the price point. The aerials look pretty cool though.
Have you heard of Zillow.com? I don’t know if they still do this, but last time I checked, you can get a bird’s eye view of homes, very similar to this aerial photography. The best part is that it’s free! They do it by satellite imagery. The only thing is that the selection is limited as they continue to expand their coverage. At any rate, I think the aerial stuff is great for the high-end market.
We use real airplanes and we have never charged thousands of dollars. In fact, our basic package is $200.
