While real estate is enduring the chill of winter I’m busy with adding more services to my Real Estate Photography for Metro Detroit. A couple weeks ago I took my recurrent test for my FAA Part 107 remote pilot certification to use my drone commercially. It had been two years since my first test so it was time to re-test to stay current. This year they are moving to on-line recurrent training and no longer requiring in-person recurrent testing but the new standards are not in place and so that I did not have any lapse in certification I needed to take the in-person test. So I studied and I scheduled my test at DCT Aviation near the Waterford airport. Whew! Testing still makes me nervous and the test wasn’t as easy as I thought I still tested fine and renewed my certification. Even though the test covers a lot more than I’ve ever had to use it is nice to know that content. Airspace is pretty cool to learn about.

Floor Plans
In addition to offering 360° Virtual Tours I now offer Floor Plans. These floor plans can also be joined into the hosted 360° Virtual Tours that I offer. The combination of the virtual tour and the floor plans will be great so much valuable information to buyers. Sellers will love having this information out there, helping to sell their property even faster.


My hosted 360° Virtual Tours are hosted with with a company that is one of only three that Realtor.com has now partnered with so the virtual tours are now linked right on those listings (shown below), as well as on Zillow.com and the MLS listing. With Zillow home listings with a virtual tour get a red “3D Home” banner instead of just a read dot on the map.

I’d love to talk to you about my real estate photography offerings including interior and exterior images. My exterior images have blue skies for extra impact and attention. In addition I offer 360° Virtual Tours and Floor Plans, giving perspective buyers so much more information on the layout of the house, as well as room sizes. I am an FAA certified drone pilot offering both photography and videography. These images and videos offer a great perspective of the home or business and surrounding areas. Many of these offerings are not only great for residential real estate but for commercial spaces as well. You can show off your retail space, medical office, independent living community, neighborhood amenities, community spaces, such as parks, and so much more.

Whew! It’s been a wild few months in Real Estate photography in Metro Detroit Michigan! Who would have known when real estate was allowed to have in-person showings again in May 2020 that the market would go gang-busters for months! Just in time for real estate to re-open I had purchased a 360° Camera and a subscription for hosting 360° Virtual Tours. I was up and ready to go, offering that service to my clients as of May 7th. These 360° Virtual Tours have been a great offering to my clients to add another benefit to their sellers. These tours are also featured on Zillow and receive views often in the hundreds. The homes with 360° Virtual Tours appear on the map with a red 3D Tour banner instead of just a red dot, which brings even more attention to the real estate listings. Realtors are seeing results from professional real estate photography metro Detroit Michigan. More viewers for your listings means more showings and more competition among purchase offers. It’s a great value added offering for low volume to high volume realtors alike. Realtors should show each and every client that they are valued and represented to the best of each realtor, whether they are listing a small home or a large estate. As a realtor don’t think that when you hit larger sales you will invest in professional real estate photography, offer professional real estate photography to bring you to that higher level even faster!
Zillow Certified Real Estate Photographer
I recently became a Zillow Certified Real Estate Photographer. Zillow states the following about their service and being a Zillow Certified Real Estate Photographer
“Being Zillow Certified means that a photographer has passed a quality check on their past real estate work. It also means that a photographer is proficient with media types supported and rewarded on Zillow.com to maximize the visibility of their client’s listings on Zillow (and other real estate websites that utilize the MLS). Virtual tours were the most demanded media item by Zillow users in 2019, thus Zillow gives listings with Zillow 3D tours increased visibility in Zillow search results. Since May 2019, homes with Zillow 3D tours have sold 10% faster on average and are 22% more likely to sell in 30 days or less than homes without 3D tours!”

Clients and buyers love to see a home look it’s best. De-cluttering and staging can only show how the home appears in person, but with the rise of on-line real estate searches, realtors are smart to look for a professional photographer to make their listing stand out from the others in order to get buyers in the door.
As your Oakland County Real Estate Photography service, I provide high quality images for you to use to advertise your listing. I use specialized lighting and professional edits to make the home look it’s best. Color correction and editing vertical lines are also included as part of my real estate edits. As you can see, these professional qualities can make quite the change on how a listing appears to your clients and potential buyers.
In addition to interior photographs, I also make sure the listing has curb appeal for online showings. The exterior of the home is often the first photo seen in online listings, so you want to be sure that it looks as amazing as possible. Sky replacement is often added in order to make the home look as inviting as possible, making potential buyers want to step inside and see the rest.
Studies show that realtors who use a professional photography service to show their listings are more successful in their sales. In addition, professional photos will help realtors gain future clients as they see the professional manner in which a realtor carries out their listings. For more information about Oakland Images being your Oakland County Real Estate Photography service, please contact us today. Real estate photography serving both Oakland, and Macomb counties. We also have FAA certified drone pilots for your aerial photography needs.
