How long does it take to get real estate photos back?

Standard turnaround for real estate photos in Central Florida is next business day by 5 PM, with rush 6-hour delivery available for an extra fee on shoots booked before 11 AM. Zillow 3D tours and virtual staging take 24-48 hours; listing video takes 3-5 business days depending on complexity.

We deliver through a branded media portal where the agent can grab MLS-sized photos, full-resolution images, social verticals, and floor plans in one place. If you shoot Friday afternoon with us, you'll have everything by Monday morning at the latest. Rush options exist for agents working a hot-list weekend, but most listings don't need them.

Do I really need drone photos to sell a house?

Drone photos aren't required for every listing, but they're essential for waterfront homes, properties on more than a quarter acre, gated communities, golf course homes, and anything where the lot or location is the main selling point. For a standard interior subdivision lot under a quarter acre, drone shots add less value and can sometimes hurt the listing by exposing a small backyard or a neighbor's roof.

In Central Florida specifically, drone footage is almost mandatory for listings in Lake Nona, Windermere, Reunion, Celebration, anything on Lake Tohopekaliga or the Indian River, and any home within sight of theme parks or downtown skylines. Aerial Shots Media flies under FAA Part 107 commercial certification, which is the legal requirement for any drone footage used to sell a property — agents who hire uncertified shooters are exposing themselves to FAA fines and MLS compliance issues.

How far in advance do I need to book a real estate shoot?

Book 3-5 business days out for standard scheduling, same-week for routine shoots, and 24-48 hours for rush bookings (subject to availability and a rush fee). Friday and Monday are the most-booked days in Central Florida — if you have flexibility, Tuesday-Thursday almost always opens up.

We hold a same-week slot for repeat agents and brokerages on retainer. Booking happens through our portal at aerialshots.media — pick the date, the package, the address, and any special instructions (gate codes, lockbox info, pets, tenant occupancy). Cancellations within 24 hours of the shoot incur a 50% rescheduling fee, mostly because that slot can't be backfilled at the last minute.

Do you do twilight photos and when are they worth it?

Yes. Real twilight photography is $249 standalone or $150 as a package add-on, and it is included in Premier. It is most useful for luxury, pool, lakefront, and landscape-lit properties where the exterior is a major selling point.

Virtual twilight is $25 per photo and works when the listing needs the look without a sunset appointment. Real twilight uses the actual post-sunset window and remains the stronger fit when the pool, water view, or landscape lighting is central to the property story.

What areas of Central Florida do you cover?

Aerial Shots Media covers the entire Central Florida region including all of Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Lake, Polk, Brevard, and Volusia counties. That includes Orlando, Winter Park, Windermere, Lake Nona, Dr. Phillips, Baldwin Park, Celebration, Kissimmee, Winter Garden, Clermont, Apopka, Sanford, Lake Mary, Altamonte Springs, Melbourne, Viera, Suntree, Cocoa Beach, Titusville, Merritt Island, Rockledge, Satellite Beach, Indialantic, Palm Bay, and the Space Coast.

There's no travel fee for any shoot within 30 miles of our Central Florida hub. Beyond that radius — Daytona Beach, The Villages, Tampa metro, Vero Beach — a per-mile travel fee applies, and we batch jobs in those areas to keep costs reasonable. For agents working across multiple Central Florida sub-markets, this is one of the few media companies that genuinely covers the whole region without subcontracting.

Can you shoot in gated communities and HOAs?

Yes, we shoot in gated communities daily — Lake Nona, Windermere, Bay Hill, Isleworth, Reunion, ChampionsGate, Eagle Creek, Baldwin Park, Heathrow, Alaqua Lakes, Suntree, Indian River Colony Club, and dozens more across Central Florida. We just need the gate code, listing agent name on the access list, or a scheduled gate pass at least 24 hours before the shoot.

Some communities (Isleworth, Lake Nona's Golden Oak, Bella Collina) have strict drone restrictions that override standard FAA Part 107 rules — we check community-level restrictions before flying and will let you know if drone footage requires HOA pre-approval. For shoots requiring HOA notification, we recommend the listing agent submit the request, since HOAs respond faster to property owners and listing agents than to outside vendors.
