The Ultimate Aerial Shot
For an average home, you take 10 photos.
For a more expensive home, you take 18 photos (the maximum number allowed on MLS).
For an expensive home in an especially gorgeous setting or with a stunning view (or both), you take 18 photos, plus use a boom to show the home’s context.
Finally, for the truly exquisite home in a one-of-a-kind location, you don’t use a boom — you use a helicopter?!?
300′ Boom?
That — or a 300 foot boom — are my only theories to explain the extraordinary perspective on the photo (above) of this $2 million Georgian Colonial on the southeast corner of Minneapolis’ Cedar Lake.
David Pritchett of RE/MAX Results, the listing agent, is also presumably responsible for the terrific shot.
By contrast, a boom shot looks more like the one below, of a home just off the west side of Cedar Lake (note the Minneapolis skyline in the upper left corner, across the lake).
