As a drone photographer for real estate agents in sydney Australia for 7 years i deliver 5 angles. Front of the house shot 15-30m up-, birds eye view of the property, 3 location shots high up 50-120m in the air to show local shops, schools, train station , beach etc which label and the property is outlined. Sometimes 4-5 location shots if there is more to show in the location. I used to deliver the angels you mention but most of the time the agent would only use 1-3 drone shots and more of actual ground taken photographs of the property. I save time by taking less images and less editing. Thank you for the informative video Kyle. Love your videos always!

[@RonaldBrown59]

Thanks for sharing this guild on how to take real estate photo, this is very useful and will help out many people looking to get started. And I agree with you about not using presets in your workflow.

[@PaulFeinberg]

Good stuff

[@amelmatt5641]

Finally someone who explains the editing process in a clear and simple way. Thanks for the video, keep up the great work!

[@olivierwebmail]

Real awesome video, love the check lists, the thorough explanations to the "whys". Everything makes total sense. Love the editing crash course on LR. Can't wait to apply. Thanks for sharing really loved it

[@JCrozier1]

Very cool. I don't think I've seen many of your videos where you're not flying by the river. Definitely cool to see how a little edit makes the colors change so much. Can't wait to see the next video.

[@PsychicWorldTV]

I love your videos they are so informative and realistic I’m amazed you do not have more followers because your content is so helpful keep up the great work

[@jimsdroneing]

excellent info and captures Billy well done thanks

[@IslandDigital]

Billy , GREAT video and channel , but one suggestion SLOW DOWN AND BREATHE. … wow less coffee :). All the best ! Keep them coming

[@johnbroman7134]

Love your videos Billy! Thanks so much!!

[@johnpftd]

Great video. It validated some of the things I’d already been doing with edits. I’m just stating to dabble with real estate so this was very timely.

[@michaelpoczynek]

Very cool and very helpful, thanks so much, Billy. Have a nice day! 😀

[@Phuong.Nguyen-]

Very pretty video as always and good information

Thank you, you build knowledge and confidence!

You are so good! What a useful and helpful video. You are something special…

this video was gold

[@NorthsideHawk]

I really liked watching this content as we don't have enough content this great in Australia. The principle is the same just needs to be tweaked for my local area.

[@machinegundroner9411]

You follow the same protocol I do. Great minds think alike. Thanks for the vid.

[@aussiejay6300]

I agree with the presets ideology... every pic is different...

[@ivondavid]

thank you Mr. Kyle, for that very useful information

[@billykyle]

Happy to help!

[@cjstudios5170]

You are spot on regarding which properties can benefit from aerial photos! I can't tell you how many agents I have talked out of aerials because of trees, curb appeal and the neighborhood itself. I would rather the agent use that money for something like Matterport or iGuide (my preference).

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

Nice job!

[@tvz857]

Did surveys for solar panels last year. Pretty much followed the same pattern. The client did not want me to edit the photos. This year I’m doing surveys for cell antennas. Pretty much following the same pattern.

[@stefanbernhard2710]

great video man. do you guys cover commercial real estate as well in the course?

[@SD-zx1uh]

Love the video, now I’m thinking of doing this as a side job in the future with my DJI Mavic Mini 3 Pro. How do you spread the word of your drone services besides word of mouth? Lol

[@titusnixon]

I'm still using my Phantom 4 Pro it's been my go to Drone for 4 years and still my only Drone

[@lokes2]

You talk as fast as a NASCAR, but you definitely know what you are talking about. +1

[@HalStaniloff]

What do you typically charge for a basic photo shoot of a home similar to what you featured in the video?

[@pauljones7923]

hey probably silly question. I have a lot of smaller homes and trees in the beach areas I photograph and I often have to get up quite high to show the house in relation to the beach, any tricks to ensure I dont lose the location of the actual house once i get up high?

[@SD-zx1uh]

Can you make a video or color grading your DJI Mini 3 Pro drone video with a Final Cut Pro preferable in a Sunny area like a beach? Also, which ND filter (which number and/or brand would you recommend for a Beachy/water area) Thanks!

[@darkknight-221]

What is a good program/app to edit your photos and adjust

[@MrManof80]

I am just trying to step into real estate photography.I am using magic air 1 for the aerial photos.trying to put marks or annotations for schools , train stations etc around the property..but don't know how to track them first.pls help!

[@grayrock522]

Thank you for another great video. You mentioned a photography course you took through Pilot Institute. Do you have a link to that course as I cannot find their Photography course? Thanks!

[@51Drones]

It’s actually a course that Billy and Ken created themselves. It is linked in the video description.

[@billykyle]

Check the link in the description!

[@JMVpaintballing]

Do you always shoot in raw?

[@tenphan0n0]

Doesn't look like it, but are you shooting brackets or just a single photo? What about JPG or RAW?

[@mertkaracayil]

Bracketing and raw for best results.

[@grzegorzkrajewski1095]

Great tips, but I'm missing one. What to do if weather suddenly goes cloudy. Are you waiting hours (days?) for the best possible lighting conditions or... just shooting?

[@iPig]

Mostly you have to work with what you get as far as conditions go. In some circumstances you may get some flexibility.

[@jaakkotahtela123]

Cloudy weather is the best.

[@PonderingBiker]

Sky replace

[@jaakkotahtela123]

@@jaakkotahtela123 bro 99% of my photos are sky replaced. No one can tell. If your good at what you do should matter what the sky is like

Do you ever video your flights and pull photos from the video ?

Being dishonest is not good policy. Show properties as they are!

[@charleschris4123]

Depending on the forest this home is near it can be very enticing to see the landscape. Case in point my grandparents. You see the woods they live in and you instantly fall in love with that northern Minnesota feel. I would say in most cases trees can be your friend.

[@viktor1444]

Nice video This is going to be a long recession we are now entering uncharted territory a massive housing crash is coming within the next 2 years. Price declines, it's coming here this year and has already started

[@aussiejay6300]

Any thoughts on your income from your KZbin video's and how you make your living outside of KZbin? And the truth about how most people might think you make your money from KZbin, and!.. do your real estate stuff on the side? I think I know the answer... but I am pre internet generation and while I like your channel... hard to believe your channel is your main source of income.. hope that made sense... 😊

[@SouthrnComfort]

Why do Ytubers use the words "with that being said" so much? Did they all go to the same Ytube school

[@millyk5685]

Personally I'd really love to own real estate properties as well as REITs, I've been informed of people making as much as $30,000 from these investments and If anyone could be lenient enough to share, I'd really love clue and tips on how to maximize profit

[@BallsofRisk]

lol. bs.

[@senseijamie]

Dude, it's exhausting to listen to you. Throttle it back a bit and breathe.

[@jerrystanley1211]

Hi Billy, I just got a message from you saying My comment was randomly selected and I have jut won a Autel Nano+ drone and to contact you on a telegram email. Was this you or just a scam?

[@HeliosDroneWorks]

Billy thanks as always for what you do! Such incredible and knowledgeable content You are probably aware but I got a message saying I won a random Polar pro and to contact you on Telegram. But there are a lot of people who were ‘randomly selected’ You are either very generous with gifts and winners, or there is something odd going on
