Real Estate Drone Photography and Video

Why motion matters

Let tenants see the site the way a pilot does.

A slab and a site plan are hard to get excited about. Aerials, a flythrough and monthly progress cuts give tenant reps something worth sending to their clients.

The clip brokers forward

A link travels further than a PDF attachment.

Tenant reps judge a building they can't tour yet by the footage they can send.

A drone pass shows the highway access and the neighbors, the flythrough shows the building, and a monthly progress cut keeps it in the conversation until there's a door to open. Each piece is sized for email, LinkedIn and the property website.

Why teams film with us

We make motion for buildings that need to lease, so the first shot is the one a tenant rep would ask for.

Priced per piece

Drone flights are $2,500 and timelapse setup is $2,000, quoted in writing before anyone flies.

While it's fresh

We schedule shoots around construction milestones, so the footage lands while the news is still fresh.

Same model, more uses

The renderings you approved fly in the video.

The flythrough runs on the same 3D model as the renderings, so the video, the fence wrap and the property website all show one building, and nothing gets rebuilt to make motion.

FAQ

Real estate drone and video questions

How much does real estate drone photography cost?

Real estate drone photography at Leapyn is $2,500 per flight, including a licensed pilot, a flight plan, stills, video and an edited 30 to 60 second cut. Residential listing flights often run a few hundred dollars, but commercial sites need wider coverage, airspace planning and an edit brokers can send.

Do your drone pilots have a Part 107 license?

Yes. Every flight uses an FAA Part 107 certified pilot, which is required for any paid real estate drone photography. The pilot builds a flight plan, checks the airspace and requests authorization near airports before the shoot. We agree the delivery date for the stills and the edited cut before the flight.

How much does a rendering flythrough cost?

A rendering flythrough is $9,000 for 30 to 45 seconds of true camera animation through the 3D model, with an approach, a site flyover, a building pass, titles and music. It starts once the renderings are approved. A 15 second rendering montage is $4,500 if you need something shorter.

Can you make a video before the building exists?

Yes. A real estate video can start as soon as the renderings are approved. A 15 second montage cuts the renderings together with camera moves, and a flythrough animates the 3D model itself. Add a drone flight over the cleared site and tenants see exactly where the building will sit.

How does construction timelapse work for marketing?

Construction timelapse for marketing starts with a camera we spec, mount, power and connect for remote access, for $2,000. It records the whole build, and we cut milestone videos of 60 to 90 seconds for $3,500 each, so groundbreaking, topping out and delivery each get their own post.

Can you cut real estate videos for social media?

Yes. Real estate videos are delivered in formats for the property website, email and each social platform. For ongoing posts, the social motion set is $2,000 for six short animated posts sized per platform, covering renderings, specs, milestones and availability.

What do you need from us to start a drone shoot?

To start a drone shoot, send the site address, an access contact, the shots you want and the dates construction hits its milestones. For animation, we also need approved renderings and the site plan. We handle the flight plan and airspace checks and agree the delivery date with you.

How many revisions come with real estate video?

Real estate video includes two revision rounds, one on the storyboard and one on the final cut. Timing, music, titles and color changes count as revisions. A new storyboard or camera path after approval, or a rendering change after animation starts, is priced as a rebuild in writing first. Extra rounds are $350.
