REAL ESTATE SERVICES
Whatever you need to market your property, you can find it here. My services run the gamut from interior/exterior photos/videos, to jaw-dropping twilight and aerial shots, 360-degree virtual tours floor plans, and virtual staging.
Interior & Exterior Photos
You have only one chance to entice a potential buyer. That’s when they click on your online listing and see your photos. In a digital age when 90% of people make a decision about attending a viewing online, premium photos of your property can determine how fast it sells and for how much, or whether it gets any interest at all.
Twilight Photoshoots
Twilight shots can make any property look jaw-dropping and blow the competition out of the water. Twilight shoots will make your home stand out amongst all their properties for sale in the area, especially in places where daytime shoots are the norm. Show buyers how your property looks at a time when they can’t visit it for a viewing.
Aerial Photography & Video Services
Homes with aerial images or video sell 65% faster than those without. Buzz Covington is a professionally certified, FAA compliant and fully insured drone pilot. Additionally, he is a commercially rated pilot with over 7,000 accident / incident free hours in civil and military aircraft.
Virtual Staging
Virtual Staging has reached a new level of realism that truly boggles the mind. Don’t let that empty room or house stop you from getting that showing! Let me design a clean and pleasing aesthetic to show the space to its full potential. Dozens of styles of furniture to choose from will help you make an empty space shine.
2-D and 3-D Floor Plans
360° Virtual Tours
Virtual Tours sells a property five times quicker than a still photo. A virtual tour is the fastest way to show them exactly what the home looks and feels like. At the end of the day nothing matches a high- definition, 360° walk-through that positions the viewer inside as if they were touring the home in-person.

As a professional photographer I’m trained to find the best angles, use the right light and composition to bring out the distinctive architectural features of your home. When a buyer sees an attractive photo, they picture themselves living in that home, and you’ve attracted their interest. That translates into more calls, more viewings and more profitable sales for you.

Aeriel Photography
& Video Services
Did you know that aerial images and video can sell a home 65% faster?
Now you do. Aerial photos and videos help you sell more than just the property. They help you sell the neighborhood and the lifestyle. Aerial shots help bring out the exterior features of your property in a more impressive way. But here’s a word of caution.
When it comes to aerial photoshoots, you can only trust an expert.
Taking aerial photos is as much an art, as it is a craft. You wouldn’t want to risk damages to your or your neighbor’s property by leaving it to amateurs. Luckily for you I’m not just a photographer. I’m also a professionally certified, FAA compliant and fully insured drone pilot. Additionally, I’m a commercially rated pilot with over 7,000 accident/incident-free hours in civil and military aircraft.
When you hire me as your photographer, you’re in the safe hands of a former military pilot.
Furthermore, as one of a few fully-qualified commercial drone operators in Northern Virginia, I use the latest in UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems) technology. Furthermore, I am tied into the LAANC system (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) which gives me more freedom to operate in areas that my competitors can’t LEGALLY do.
In plain English that means that you get photos that literally transport your buyers to your property.

Twilight Photography
Do you want to add an extra wow-factor to your property listing?
Twilight shots can make any property look jaw-dropping and blow the competition out of the water. Due to the light conditions, the exterior features take on a completely different look. Twilight shoots will make your home stand out amongst all other properties for sale in the area. Twilight photos also show buyers how your property looks at a time when they can’t visit it for a viewing. Though we can’t always plan for a stunning twilight, I will ensure to drop in a subtle and elegant twilight sky on your photos if the conditions during the photo shoot are not optimal,… at no extra charge to you.
