Drone photography
Drone real estate photography in Metro Detroit
Aerial photos come with every EZ Shots real estate shoot, at no extra charge. They are flown by an FAA Part 107 certified pilot with commercial liability insurance, across Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties.
What aerials show
Four things a ground photo cannot
- The lot. Its shape, the yard and how far the property runs.
- The roof. A clear look at its condition before anyone asks.
- The setting. Water, parks, a golf course or the downtown nearby.
- The outdoor features. A pool, a patio or a firepit, seen together with the house.
See it on a ranch on the fairway, a brick colonial with a pool and a craftsman with a firepit yard.

Airspace and weather in Metro Detroit
FAA Part 107
A listing photo is commercial work, and commercial drone flight needs a remote pilot certificate. I hold one and carry commercial liability insurance. What Part 107 means for you.
Controlled airspace
DTW, Coleman Young, Willow Run and Oakland County all control airspace over nearby neighborhoods. Where an address needs authorization, I request it ahead of the shoot.
When it cannot fly
Strong wind, rain, snow, heavy fog or a flight restriction can stop a flight. I come back for the aerials at no extra charge, or take the drone portion off the price.
Common questions
Can I book drone photos on their own?
No. Aerials are part of the Real Estate Media Package, $179, or $129 for your first shoot, along with the interior and exterior photos. See everything in the package.
How many aerial photos do I get?
There is no set number. The package has no cap on photos, so you get the aerials that show the property well.
Does the drone shoot video too?
Yes. Add the $100 listing video and the drone opens and closes it, with the walkthrough in between.
Are aerials worth it for a condo or townhome?
Less often, because the building covers most of the lot. They are most useful when something nearby sells the place, like water or a park. When aerials help a listing.
Aerials are included. Book the shoot.
First shoot $129. $0 to book, and you pay after you see the photos.
