Does My Listing Need Aerial Photography or Videography?

Both come from the same drone, but they do different jobs. Choosing between them comes down to the property and where the listing will be seen.

Aerial photos

Aerial photos are the right choice when you need still images for the MLS and portals. They show the lot, the roofline, the pool, the driveway and how the home sits among its neighbors. They also work on every platform, including print.

Aerial video

Aerial video moves the buyer across the property. It is especially good for homes with land, water, views or a long approach, where a single still cannot show the scale. It works best inside a listing video or a social reel, where it opens the story and sets the scene.

How to choose

• Small lot, tight neighborhood: a few aerial photos are usually enough, or skip aerial.
• Acreage, pool, pond or outbuildings: aerial photos, and video if you are making a reel.
• Waterfront or a view: aerial video shows the setting best.
• A listing you want to promote on social: add aerial clips to your video.
