Real Estate Drone Photography in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Real Estate in South Florida

A buyer scrolling a listing decides in about a second whether to keep reading. Ground photography shows them rooms. An aerial frame shows them the thing they actually want to know: how big the lot is, how close the water is, what the roof looks like, and what sits on the other side of the fence.

We fly listings across Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach - single-family homes, canal-front properties, oceanfront estates, condo towers and raw land. Edited stills come back inside 24 hours, which is usually faster than the copy gets written.

Waterfront estate with a yacht at its private dock, photographed from the air

How it works

What the job looks like

Send us the address

Call or use the form. We check the airspace over that parcel the same day and tell you straight away if it needs an authorization filing.

We schedule for the light

Mid-morning and late afternoon flatter most South Florida properties. Waterfront and pool listings often justify a twilight flight instead.

We fly the property

A full orbit, the frontage, the roof, the lot lines and the approach - plus whatever the listing needs to argue for itself.

Files land within 24 hours

Edited stills arrive in an online gallery within a day of the shoot. Video and stitched work take a little longer.

Questions

Real Estate FAQ

How quickly do I get listing photos back?

Edited still photos are delivered within 24 hours of the shoot, through an online gallery you can download from. Video and any stitched or mapped work take several days on top.

Do I need to be there for the shoot?

No. Most agents brief us by phone or through our project intake form and never leave the office. You are welcome to attend if you would rather.

Can you shoot a waterfront property at sunset?

Yes. We hold FAA authorization to fly at night, so twilight and after-dark flights are available - and on waterfront listings they are usually the strongest frames in the set.

What if the property is near an airport?

Much of Broward sits under controlled airspace. We can fly near, and sometimes at, most airports once permission is granted. FAA authorization can take several days, so send us the address as early as you can.

Do you photograph vacant land and new construction?

Yes. Cleared lots, lots under construction and finished new builds are some of the most common work we do - an aerial frame is the only honest way to show a parcel's shape.

What does a real estate shoot cost?

Pricing depends on the property, the deliverables and the travel. Call (954) 580-PAPA or send the form and we will quote your listing the same business day.
