Some Selling Points Only Show From the Air.

Waterfront frontage. Acreage. The walk to town. How the lot sits against conservation land. Buyers can't see any of it from the driveway. Our FAA-certified pilots fly listings, commercial properties, and new developments across Connecticut in photos and 4K video.

Where an Aerial Earns Its Place.

  • Waterfront. Frontage, the dock, the distance to the water. On the shoreline, that's often what the buyer is paying for.
  • Acreage and estates. Lot lines, outbuildings, gardens, and the approach from the road — the scale a ground shot can't hold.
  • Location. How close the house is to the green, the beach, the train, or downtown. The New Haven and New London films above make that point in one shot.
  • Commercial and development. Full-site views for commercial listings and progress footage for builders, like the Oxford update on our Video page.
  • Dusk and season. Twilight aerials with the lights on, peak foliage in October, a snowbound estate in winter.

Airspace Is Checked, Not Assumed.

Parts of Connecticut sit inside controlled airspace around Bradley, Tweed-New Haven, Sikorsky, and Groton. We check every address when the shoot is booked and request authorization where it's required, so a no-fly surprise doesn't hold up your listing. Every flight follows FAA rules on altitude, weather, and distance from people. If it can't be flown safely, the drone stays on the ground.
