What you get
What aerials add to a listing
Ground photos sell the rooms. Aerials sell the lot, the setting and the neighborhood around it.
Twilight exteriors
The house lit up at dusk, the shot that leads the listing.
The whole lot
Boundaries, driveway, outbuildings and the land around them.
Straight down
Pools, patios and roof lines, the way a site plan shows them.
The setting
The golf course, the water, the hills: what the address is next to.
Features at a glance
Everything the listing mentions, in one frame.
Example aerial photography. Each pilot’s own work is on their profile.
How it works
Three steps, and the first one is free
Post the listing with your package
The address, your standard shot list and the date the photos have to be live.
Hear back from a local pilot
Pilots who cover that address are emailed when you post. Usually a reply the same day, from a pilot or from our team.
Book it, then reuse the brief
Pay the pilot directly with no commission, and post the same package for your next listing.
Getting aerials on every listing
Turn your listing shoot into a standard package
Agents who get aerials on every listing usually stop briefing each shoot from scratch. They settle on a package — for example eight to twelve edited stills, a short vertical clip for social, files back within 48 hours — and post the same spec every time, adding only what is unusual about the property. A fixed spec does two things. It makes prices from different pilots and different weeks comparable, so you learn what the work costs in your market. And it lets a coordinator or assistant post listings without asking you what is needed.
Hitting the listing date
Book as soon as the listing agreement is signed, not when the interiors are done. Aerials are the one part of the photo set that depends on the weather: wind and rain cancel a flight, and flat overcast light costs most of what the aerials were for. Give the pilot a two- or three-day window rather than one fixed slot. If the property is near an airport, it may sit in controlled airspace, and the pilot will need an FAA authorisation before flying. That is often granted within minutes through LAANC, but not always, so mention the address early and let the pilot check.
When your usual photographer is booked
Most agents already have a photographer they trust, and there is no reason to replace them. The gaps are predictable: the week three listings land at once, the property an hour outside your usual patch, the twilight shot your photographer does not fly. Those are the ones to post. A pilot local to the address does not bill the drive, and over a year the listings you would otherwise have shipped without aerials add up.
MLS rules and usage rights
Check your MLS's photo rules before the shoot rather than after. Many MLSs do not allow logos, contact details or watermarks in listing photos, so ask for unbranded files for the MLS and branded versions separately if you want them for social. Settle usage in writing too. Photographers commonly license images to the agent for marketing that listing rather than handing over copyright, which matters when the images run on syndication portals, in print, or in your own brand ads, and again if the listing later moves to another agent.
Why agents post their listings here
One brief, every listing
Write the package once: how many finished stills, whether there's video, the turnaround and where the images will run. Reuse it on every post and prices stay comparable from one listing to the next.
Built around the listing date
Put the date the photos have to be live in the post. A pilot can tell you before you book whether they can deliver by then.
Cover beyond your usual photographer
Keep the person you use. Post the listings they can't fit in, and the ones outside the area they normally cover.
Before you post
Can I keep using the same drone pilot for every listing?
Yes. Once you've worked with a pilot you like, message them directly when the next listing comes up. Posting each listing is still worth it when they're booked or the property is outside their area.
How far ahead should I book aerials for a listing?
Give the pilot several days and a window of two or three dates rather than one. Aerials depend on wind and light, and a pilot with a little flexibility can shoot on the right day instead of the only day.
Can our marketing coordinator post listings for the whole team?
Yes. Posting is free and SkyLog takes no commission, so there's no cost per listing posted. Each listing is its own post with its own address, and the pilot you book is paid directly.
Can I put my logo on aerials that go on the MLS?
Check your MLS's rules first. Many don't allow branding, contact details or watermarks in listing photos. Ask the pilot for unbranded files for the MLS and a branded set for social media if you want one.
Who can use the photos if the listing changes agents?
Usually only the agent the images were licensed to, unless the license says otherwise. If you want the seller or a future agent to be able to reuse them, agree that with the pilot before the shoot.
What if no pilot covers one of my listings?
Then our team works its own network to find someone who can fly it, instead of leaving your post sitting there.
