Real Estate Drone Photos in Chicago That Show the Whole Picture.
How big is the lot? How close is the park, the lake or the train? Buyers ask before they ever book a showing. Aerial photos answer those questions in one look.
How much does real estate drone photography cost in Chicago?
Drone photos are $95 added to any photo package. Booked on their own, 15 drone photos are $225 and 25 drone photos are $300, and drone video coverage adds $150 to a listing video. We check airspace for every address before shoot day, and there's $0 due today.
The View Buyers Can't Get From the Sidewalk.
The lot and the roofline
Show the size of the yard, the garage and the roof in a way ground photos can't.
The neighborhood
Parks, schools, the lakefront and the skyline give buyers a reason to love the location.
Drone video
Sweeping aerial footage opens a listing video and stops the scroll on social.

Where We Fly.
We fly listings across Chicago, the North Shore, the north, northwest, west and south suburbs and Northwest Indiana. City addresses near O'Hare, Midway and downtown need an airspace check, so we look up every address before shoot day and tell you right away if a home can't be flown. Suburban and Indiana listings are often the best places for aerials, with bigger lots, ponds, forest preserves and lakes to show.
Paid drone shoots are flown by FAA Part 107 certified pilots. Drone video is a $150 add on to any listing video, and it's included in Social Walkthrough Plus and the Signature Listing Film.

Drone Media, by the Numbers.
48%

We fly legally. Chicago's drone ordinance (Municipal Code 10-36-400) limits hobby flights, including no flights within five miles of an airport and none over property without the owner's consent, and commercial drone work in the city must be done by an operator authorized by the FAA. Paid drone shoots are flown by FAA Part 107 certified pilots. This is a plain summary, not legal advice.

How fast will I get my drone photos?
Usually within 24 hours, and delivery within 48 hours is guaranteed. Video is delivered within 72 hours.
Can you fly a drone anywhere in Chicago?
Not everywhere. Much of Chicago and the nearby suburbs sit inside O'Hare and Midway airspace, and some spots near the lakefront and downtown have extra rules. We check every address before shoot day and tell you up front if a home can't be flown, before you pay for drone.
Are your drone pilots certified?
Yes. Paid drone shoots are flown by FAA Part 107 certified pilots.
Do you fly in the suburbs and Northwest Indiana?
Yes. Most suburban and Northwest Indiana addresses have fewer airspace limits than the city, which makes them great for aerials of the lot, the subdivision and nearby parks, lakes and forest preserves.
What do the drone photos show?
The lot, the roofline, the yard and the neighborhood around the home. We can also add property line overlays so buyers see where the lot ends.
What if the weather is bad?
Call (312) 767-1706 or text (312) 667-5974 and a real person on our team will help you find the right time to fly.
Do I pay anything when I book?
No. There's $0 due today. You pay when your media is delivered, or choose Pay at Close with Titus and pay at closing.
What areas do you serve, and is there a travel fee?
Chicago first, plus the North Shore, the north, west and south suburbs, and Northwest Indiana. Travel within 15 miles of 60647 is included. Beyond 15 miles it's $0.76 per mile each way, and shoots more than 50 miles out add $150.
