I started an Aerial Photography business focusing on real estate in 2020. I started with taking photos of residential properties with my drone every month for a real estate agent. As I continued to expand my network in the real estate world, I took pictures of residential and commercial properties every couple of days. I am now taking aerial photos for three real estate agents 24/7. I brought my two younger brothers into my business, I purchased their drones, and they got to work; the rest is history. Through the process, I've learned to expand my networking skills and knowledge of real estate properties.
