Aerial Photography/Videography for Real Estate

Hello everyone!

My colleague and I are licensed FAA commercial drone operators looking to establish a foothold in the real-estate marketplace and add it to our business portfolio. We would like to shoot a few properties for free to include the photos/videos in our portfolio for marketing. If you are in the Chicago area and are interested in receiving free high-definition and professional aerial images/videos of your property(s) please reach out! 

Incorporating cutting-edge aerial imagery to your marketing can set you apart from the competition and really grab consumer interest. We are only going to offer free services to the first few properties who reach out, so let me know if you're interested ASAP! Thanks!

Awesome Kurt! Try bugging some commercial listing agents, they go for months without leads and if you offer to charge them at closing (or lease signing) it sweetens the pot even more. They are also SUPER easy to find because all you have to do is drive around looking for "For Lease" signs. Consider the opportunity costs of a large building not being rented. Commercial agents are motivated to set their properties apart from the crowd and the aerial videography is a perfect differentiation for them.

Also bug your local $1M listings. Because pretty homes look even better from the sky than average homes ;)  

Then use your commercial and luxury aerial videos to develop the residential market.

Just my 2c.

    Mark Ainley Hey Mark, we're very flexible on locations. We are located downtown, and we either drive or take public transit to the suburbs (we try to stick to transit as much as possible for the environment). Feel free to shoot me a message on here if you'd like to set something up! Thanks

    @Kurt K. what equipment does your team utilize for your work in terms of drone and cameras? Would love to see some of your work if you have it available to share.
